Computer GPU deemed incompatible with minimum system requirements before opening successfully

Upon opening studio for the first time today, I got this image:

I haven’t had this happen before which I figured was weird unless the minimum specs had changed, so I relaunched studio and it appears to open fine

However, when I tried to open a second instance of studio to transfer some models across via copy + paste, the studio froze up when loading the start page before closing without an error message - it did this a few times, though seems to be working okay now, apologies for being unable to get a video of this. Essentially it said “Loading studio”, the page went blank, then a few seconds later after the application was hanging it exited with no error code

My system information:
Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 7730U
16GB SODIMM 3200MT/s RAM
512GB SSD NVMe
Integrated graphics - Radeon Graphics

It’s a laptop device, relatively new with a release year of 2022/2023 I believe, had no issues in the past with requirements and it runs both studio and player just fine on graphics settings 1 to 6/7, hence my confusion on why this error appeared at all

Expected behavior

I don’t believe my system was actually out of the minimum graphic specs etc, I figure this is some kind of error with hardware detection or something, could be detrimental or more permanent on other devices so I figured I’d report it

Also just noticed - https://www.roblox.com/drivers doesn’t seem to exist?

Hello,

You can try the following steps I will Provide:

  1. Update Graphics Drivers
    • You can go directly to AMD’s website and download the latest drivers for your specific AMD Radeon Graphics card.
    • You can also try and use the generic driver update software BUT it may cause problems, I recommend trying the method above
  2. Check for Windows Updates
    • Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for any new updates.
  3. Change Graphics Settings in Roblox Studio
    • If you can get into Studio, go to File > Settings > Rendering. In the Graphics Mode menu, try switching from “Automatic” to Vulkan or Direct3D11. Restart Studio to see if that helps.
  4. Fully Reinstall Roblox Studio
    • Go to your computer’s settings and uninstall Roblox Studio and the Roblox Player.
    • Open the Run prompt (Windows Key + R) and type %localappdata%.
    • Find and delete the entire Roblox folder.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Re-download and install Roblox Studio from the official website.#

If you are still experiencing this issue, please let me know.

Thanks, and I hope this could provide assistance for someone else with a slightly different system but:

  1. My laptop uses integrated graphics and the driver itself is vendor locked due to being a laptop - this means it won’t allow updates to prevent incompatibilities with the rest of the device and/or chipset, this is commonplace in laptops and iGPU’s in general
  2. No new updates, also important to note is that this is a fresh Windows install from around 5 or 6 days ago when I reformatted
  3. Unless Roblox has swapped the default graphics backend or added a new one that was for some reason selected and is incompatible with my iGPU/drivers, I don’t see how this would help
  4. Could be the move if it continued failed to open, but as listed I’m no longer experiencing any issues, works fine - just figured I’d report it incase it’s a more permanent error for other users/devices that would flat out refuse to open studio

Thanks anyhow for the thought

This sounds unexpected for sure - not sure why it would only happen the first time. Can you DM a dump of a run of dxdiag.exe just to be sure we’re seeing what the system is reporting? Also, if you have a log from the run that blocked you we’ll take that too. Was this the very first time you started studio after the windows install?

Hiya, will DM a dump of dxdiag shortly. I’ll take a look for the logfiles for when I ran, though I’ve been in and out of studio a few times since then, not sure how far you guys cache log files back.

Wasn’t the first time I had started studio after the reformat, studio was working okay from day 1, though if its of any use it was the first time I started studio on that specific bootup of my laptop.
