Most icons seem to either have failed to load, or have turned invisible. My mouse pointer is also invisible while the Player’s window is in focus
The problem started since I installed the most recent update for the Player, and so far has been persistent, as in the icons don’t seem to load no matter how long I wait, even if I restart the application or my PC and try waiting again
This issue is happening to millions of active users, So the Roblox Client tries to load all of the resources like textures, sounds, and essential, There is a bug in the client where it doesn’t load the correct asset and treats it like it’s missing, And yes, This happens to Roblox Studio as well, Wait for a hotfix.
In the mean time, Try to contact support on roblox and select bug report, This way they get this figured out way faster. (I don’t know if this still works btw.)
I also opened a bug report about this issue. So far 2 solutions have been found. A user has noticed that the naming scheme used in the latest update may be wrong, I found another solution with safe mode + wifi support. I basicallly uninstalled RobloxPlayer, and reinstalled it within safe mode + wifi, and it turns out it fixed the issue.
Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately the issue persists for me after trying it out (I made sure to click apply before clicking ok in the properties panel as well)
Oh sorry to hear that the issue was not fixed on your side. I honestly am not able to retrace the actions I did yesterday, in full order.
I hope they will get a fix soon for that. You may want to consider using the MS-Store version (if it works for you, mine still does not).
About post duplication, I honestly could not find a proper name for it, so it’s not 100% clear. Could you just send the version of your OS? Try “Ctrl + R”, then type “winver”. You’ll get the OS build version. I just want to see if that is due to my current windows version, as I am on a prerelease channel.
Try running RobloxPlayerInstaller.exe as administrator. This causes Roblox to install under Program Files (x86). Uninstall “Roblox Player for [your name]” in Settings to remove links and shortcuts to your previous local installation.
Oh I absolutely did not think of that actually. There are a few reasons why ROBLOX being in %LocalAppData% is a bad thing. One of them is the fact my homedir has non ASCII characters in it, which sometimes prompts ROBLOX to have some issues regarding file access.
I also have non ASCII characters in my home directory (which I really regret doing), so I’ll try out @VerySaltyCroissant’s suggestion and reply with the result
I won’t be able to test it until Sunday though, as I happen to be quite busy tomorrow and it’s quite late where I live at the moment
A staff member replied to my topic, you could send a message there indicating that the update fixed everything so that they are aware of. Also don’t forget to put your post as a solution so that they are aware it is not needed to read it !
Glad to hear it was fixed on your side, happy playing !
