Are FPS Unlockers against the rules?

Are FPS Unlockers allowed?

Or is roblox’s new anti cheat software messing them up?

I use one, and all of a sudden as of recently, I get this error

I know this isn’t really related to roblox, BUT it does fall under the correct category.

This is because I’m seeking usage support for roblox, and I find it hard to play without it.

The reason why I use it is because roblox can tend to be very laggy. (As of recently roblox started to lag so bad)

I also uninstalled it and installed the newest version anbd I still get this error no matter if I relaunch roblox.

FPS unlockers don’t alter any files nor have a reason to be disallowed.
It was mentioned at RDC once that fps unlockers are perfectly allowed.
Hopefully soon enough we’ll get support for this FPS cap to be lifted and no longer need to use external programs, as for the error, I’m unsure however I would just ignore it, doesn’t seem like anything significant other than showcasing what change it made for the higher FPS.

It does not inject any files, such as any DLL files, but instead just modifies program memory.

Therefore, you’re safe to use this as you won’t be banned by Roblox and in my previous reply, Roblox made a personal promise to not ban anyone for it.

It doesn’t function properly when I get this error, it only started recently.

Meaning it functions but not to its best abilities.

Like @zoofius explained, FPS unlockers aren’t against the rules

as for the “error message” you’re getting, you’re using the latest version of rbxfpsunlocker. However due to Byfron, memory management has been locked down a lot more.

rbxfpsunlocker gets around this by setting the target FPS in a JSON config file, shown in the path. So, you need to relaunch roblox for it to take effect.

But you said “roblox can be very laggy,” your fps unlocker will not fix the lag, what it does do is “uncap” your fps from 60. Which means that unless you are hitting 60 frames per second normally, you won’t see any improvement.

Answers thousands of times before… yes, they are allowed. Even David at RDC said it’s okay.

@PostVivic

n be very laggy,” your fps unlocker will not fix the lag

I know it won’t fix lag, but it will increase the FPS cap.

Technically, no. But if they are used to exploit or gain unfair advantages, then yes.

[PostVivic (Vivic)]

try to close everything, then start the fps unlocker, then start roblox and check your fps

(edit: just to explain a bit more the message you were getting wasnt an error message, it just notifies you that its changing the config file and you need to relaunch roblox)

Adjustable Refresh Rate

Hello Preston, Roblox Studio is not protected by Hyperion, and generally speaking, we don’t actively take measures to prevent FPS unlockers from working. However, some of the FPS unlockers attempt to locate internal variables and subsequently override them. This, by its very nature, is extremely error-prone and certainly not something we can support in any way, shape, or form. As of right now, we recommend using the corresponding FastFlag to set the refresh rate. You can find a write-up on how …

Hello King,

FPS Unlockers are not against the rules ; however, modifying the client’s process space is, and we have no way to distinguish between malicious software and FPS unlockers, as they do essentially the same thing. The link above gives some further information on the topic and also explains how to unlock FPS the legal way.
