Gamepasses delaying load time

[prisma nacelle]

Added 5 gamepasses to my game that and run this module when the player joins

local GamePassChecker = {}

local MPS = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")

local passmapping = {
[1819880470] = "ExtraConveyor",
[1818549669] = "SuperBundle",
[1819982467] = "TwoTimesAfkRewards",
[1817929694] = "TwoTimesCoins",
[1817473777] = "TwoTimesDamage",
}

function GamePassChecker:Check(plrid, plrdata)
for id, pass in pairs(passmapping) do
local success, owns = pcall(function()
return MPS:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(plrid, id)
end)
if success and owns then
plrdata.GamePasses[pass] = true
end
end

if plrdata.GamePasses.SuperBundle then
    for pass, val in pairs(plrdata.GamePasses) do
        plrdata.GamePasses[pass] = true
    end
end


return plrdata

end

return GamePassChecker

i have a plot system that seems to have delayed its loading when i added the gamepass checking.
is this normal behaviour since it takes time to communicate?
should i add a loading screen or is there a way to make this instant.

Yea checking if a player owns a gamepass is a short delay,

You shouldnt delay starting the game based on it IMO, refactor and let them play as the gamepasses load,
It dosnt matter if a buff isnt applied for the first few seconds of gameplay

[prisma nacelle]

Thing is the plot differs depending on their gamepass so it has to check whether they have it or not to see if it loads the default plot or gp plot

[lethal jewel]

Could either switch it out during runtime when it detects the gamepass, this lets you add it to a shop to be brought mid game too,

Or only yield the loading for that 1 important gamepass, and let the others apply as they apply

Functions/methods ending in "async" indicate that calling them will pause the caller thread for some volatile amount of time

In the case of UserOwnsGamePassAsync, the method makes an HTTP request to Roblox's database to confirm ownership. Any sort of networking takes time to complete

If you're checking game-passes in a sequence, create a new thread for each check. If you do not do this, the additional checks cannot be initiated until all the ones before them are completed

Even if you seperate it into seperate threads, wouldnt advise pausing a loading screen for gamepasses

just make a loading screen
