I think, if you play a private game, like a game you made on Studio or anything, and then you go on Roblox live server to test it on the Client.
It used to show all games regardless of privacy in the Continue. But now it stopped doing that, which is annoying.
Because on mobile you don’t have URL bar and 1234567890 is a very long number and checking inventory. Like, because of this change I actually have to message the link to the game to an alt account to access the game faster.
Re-production Steps
Create private game and publish
Play private game on the client
Observe “Continue” section
Expected Result
Games I played appear in the Continue section, even if it is private. (or at least if I had access to it? )
Actual Result
Private games don’t show up in there anymore? I don’t know, it’s not like it used to be.
Hi @HealthyKarl@W_MNQ could you share some games that you think are being filtered that wouldn’t have been filtered before?
@HealthyKarl - i didn’t see any private games being filtered out of your Continue. i saw one that was not available on Mobile, and 2 that were public and filtered for other reasons.
@W_MNQ i saw a private game filtered out of your Continue, but it was due to being moderated.
This issue isn’t new, but it is really annoying. Ultimate Mining Tycoon’s test game is something I frequently play to test, but since it isn’t public, I need to remember to go up to the search that does give me the latest things I played, including private.
However, if I lost access to a private game, it doesn’t seem to hide it from me on the continue page. I haven’t had access to Tsunami Game’s test game in about a year, and it is presented a few clicks on my continue feed. It acts like whether I have access or not is flipped for the feed. The game to the right (VVG’s Survive Disaster Hotel) is also private right now.
This can be really frustrating when testing on mobile, for me it happens on my group private games, attached a link below if it helps. I just realized I can use the search bar workaround from above, but not really sure why the recently visited from search bar and continue playing are not the same. https://www.roblox.com/games/10488924716
Hey @TheNexusAvenger@HealthyKarl this probably isn’t what you wanted to hear but the team did check these exact games that you had mentioned and they aren’t filtered, we can see it in the API response They might not be at the front of your sort though, which is a separate issue.
If you could help us check - if you go to the “See All” page do they eventually show up somewhere in that list of games?
Test Game 8 - Yes, but halfway down. I’ve accessed it once within the last month.
UMT Testing - Nope! I’ve launched the game 5+ times yesterday, and the algorithm decided it isn’t worth presenting.
I’m not sure how much I’m meant to scroll down, but I can’t get past a couple of rows. My play history still includes stuff from 2024 because I just don’t do that much unique stuff.
ETA: Actually sorry @TheNexusAvenger could you just confirm what device you’re using to test on? It could help us to replicate the request more closely to find the issue
This is frustrating for me as for when im testing on a test account on my phone in my games private test place, it doesnt appear. Since there is no more Favorites sort, I have to go to options, friends, search my main account, go to my favorites, find the place, then join, or something else thats just as annoying to find the place and then finally join it. Would be a very welcomed fix.
I just went on mobile, clicked on my alt accounts Party Chat where I put the game at. I joined the game then I left the game, and it’s not in my continue.
All play sessions for “UMT Testing” were done on Windows 10 and viewed through a browser (Brave in my case). I don’t think I’ve ever pulled the game on mobile, which would have been Android 16.
We’ve managed to reproduce the issue and are continuing to investigate, will follow up when we have more info (hopefully sometime next week).
Edit: This seems to be related to unrated games and not private games. Our team will discuss the feasibility of adding them back into the Continue sort.
