Will it be compatible with macOS in the future? Because It won’t let me open it, saying it only works on Windows.
The GitHub page explicitly states this only works on Windows, and the only download provided is an .exe file. We hope to add MacOS support some time in the future, but it won’t be any time soon.

Quick and possibly dumb question: How is Bloxstrap detecting which region the server is in?
1 Like
Heres what I (from reading Bloxstrap’s source code) gathered about how Bloxstrap gets server location.
Before getting the server location, Bloxstrap gets the servers machine address from the Roblox logs, this is found in the line that starts with “! Joining game”, the machine address is at the end of that line.
Then it makes a GetStringAsync request to https://ipinfo.io/ using HttpClient. (Specifically /city, /region and /country)
The code for that looks like this:
Hope this helps!

I see, that certainly helped, thanks! Following that, is there a way to get this info in-game? I’m trying to find a way to get a server’s region for a server browser, it seems all the other ways aren’t exactly accurate anymore
You could maybe try getting the servers address using some sort of http request, then use the method that Bloxstrap uses to get the location of the server?
There could be a better way of doing this though, I’ve just never looked into stuff like this.

I’ll just let you know that this isn’t exactly accurate either, though it’s using what’s more or less the most accurate API available. It’s been known to rarely detect Europe servers as being in the USA. Accuracy is practically impossible with purely IP geolocation.

Heyo! I Just wanted to give my praise for this since this is my favorite creation since Roshade (and also a somewhat alternative with forced future lighting :D)

How so? What does it do when you try to launch one?

hi, it only shows the UWP version of roblox, bloxtrap is missing here
(generic link: roblox:1+launchmode:app)
If you launch the “Play Roblox” shortcut located in the start menu app list once, it should register as Roblox’s launch handler.

It seems that the UWP version of Roblox imposes itself on bloxstrap somehow ignoring the protocol selection (bloxstrap was set in the registry editor)
I fixed it by selecting the bloxstrap executable directly with my browser (Firefox)
In settings bloxstrap not even showing
Got around to using it and its a great piece of software. But, there are some features I wish there were such as: Older TopBar/leadboard Simulation like:
(if possible of course) then another feature is a list of FFLags in the fflag editor so you don’t have to go on the web and search for it. Kinda like this
Other than that, Its very good! Great Job!
