    Is this a primitive or tri-mesh world?

    Meta is riddled with bugs and problems. They fix one and create three more. No wonder the world is migrating to VR Chat. I write to them and don't even get a reply. I'm also considering creating accounts on VR Chat; the avatars are ugly, but it's smooth and much less limited.

      Did this ever get resolved. STUPID me decided I will click unpublish.
      And not my main world is OFFLINE because of this issue.
      since jan 28th v251 maybe.

      Tickets all go nowhere.
      Cannot publish world and its not primitive its an CUSTOM IMPORT WORLD.

      Ohhh.... It will no longer be possible to publish it, even if you clone it and try to publish it—it's impossible. I'm stopping all creations on Meta. I've started creating on VRChat. Much smoother and fewer limitations. I'm fed up with the bugs. Good luck.

      The only option is to recreate the world on a new map, but you lose your leaderboard and likes. And now did you try to create a leaderboard? Its a new metabug. Since I'm starting from scratch anyway, I'll start where it doesn't glitch and isn't so limited.

      Thanks but it still impossible to publish. At this point, it doesn’t matter anymore. I am rebuilding the world in VRChat, and from now on I will be creating all my worlds there. It is far more fluid to work with and much less restrictive.
