So here's the deal, I'm working on a game that is similar to a murder mystery and this part of the system is to start the round and show the players their roles and then the map. Except it used to work and I didn't knowingly do anything to the scripts that would affect it so the game crashes when this part is carried out. All I know is it starts to display the role and often does, it also plays the sound and displays the correct description, however it crashes just after that and sometimes just before the role is revealed. I've attached the function that runs when the RoundStarter event is fired to the client.
The server doesn't crash but, all of the clients do but not all at the exact same moment in time; Previously when there has been errors, I've been able to identify an error message but none of the clients throw any clear issues.
In testing mode in Roblox Studio, they freeze just after the drum roll sound effect as the role is displayed, however no errors and the server seems to be acting normally. Near enough the same thing happens when ran in Roblox.

--This is then followed by the rest of the round system which should be working but I have cut it to try to shorten the amount of reading but can be supplied if needed. It is closed correctly.
I've tried to keep the code to a minimum however it could be anywhere and as there are no obvious script related error codes, I'm requesting some assistance in some way.
There are other things that may have caused it but this is becoming a real issue, especially since it used to work, and I've included all of the likely suspects but I'm happy to give anything else if these aren't incorrect in anyway.
If you wish to see what happens yourself, you'll need either 4 Roblox Accounts or 3 extra friends. Here's the game on Roblox: The Masquerade
If anything else is needed, feel free to let me know and thanks for reading and any potential help. (Just so you know, I have done a lot of research on all of the functions and things I'm using but I can't find any issues, it just freezes & crashes).
The only error codes I've got are:
Start Process Exception...
