Developer Context
- As of 2026-05-13, a Roblox Studio report says clicking "Save to Roblox" and choosing "Model" can close Studio instantly.
- A small test upload (a single brick) worked, but one larger model crashed.
- Expected result was to continue the upload flow, or at least show an error message instead of force-closing.
- 2026-05-13: Repro steps were shared clearly - Explorer right-click -> "Save to Roblox" -> Asset Category "Model" -> crash.
- 2026-05-13: Behavior detail added - sometimes Studio freezes for about 1 second, then exits.
- 2026-05-13: Scope clue added - tiny uploads can work, so this may hit specific large/complex models.
- 2026-05-13: Full system info was included (Windows 11, AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU) plus expected behavior and a private repro file.

Developer Context
- This bug report follows the Roblox Developer Forum bug-report style: clear repro, expected vs actual behavior, and system specs. That helps engineers reproduce faster.
- This type of "Save to Roblox" model crash has shown up before on 2023-07-03 and 2023-09-30, so tracking new reports is important to catch regressions.
- In a similar 2023 case, staff said they were investigating and later users confirmed a fix, which is why detailed reports like this matter.
- If you build games, this can slow your update schedule and block model publishing.
- If you work in teams, one crash can break momentum for everyone waiting on that asset.
- If you are new, this is a good reminder to keep backup habits: test with smaller model chunks and save local copies before risky uploads.
- Q: On 2026-05-13, is every model upload broken?
A: Not confirmed. The report says one specific model crashed, while a simple brick upload worked. - Q: What exact action triggers the crash?
A: In Roblox Studio Explorer, right-click the model, choose "Save to Roblox", then select "Model" in Asset Category. - Q: Is this just a weak-PC issue?
A: It does not look like only low-end hardware. The report machine is fairly strong (Ryzen 7 + RTX 4060 + 16 GB RAM). - Q: Is there a public fix note for this exact report yet?
A: As of 2026-05-13, the shared context says there is 1 post and 1 participant, with no public fix update shown yet.
