Yes, i found bug with this new client, related to graphics setting hotkey (F10) only the popup appears, but no actual change happens to that setting. This bug has been in this client from first version, and I’m reporting it now as it got into my mind. Video below:

edit:
i dont think Malwarebytes free would block anything like that or windows

I have experienced the same problem alot too

I think the idea of having an app version of Roblox is good but this is literally just mobile UI shoehorned onto computers. Needs a UI overhaul imho.

I am trying to join a roblox game but the roblox app tells me I have to log in. I log in but I cannot join a game from there, so I try to join from the roblox website. The beta app closes and launches again but then it tells me I need to log in again.

Edit: It eventually stopped asking me to log in.

This has happened to me, I think the roblox team are looking into it.

The roblox app didnt load when i joined a game

Ok, strange things are happening, beforehand (4 hours earlier) I could use the app and everything was working, but now I launch up on the normal roblox app.

Can we get in touch with any staff about this situation?

Hey Cookie!
There seems to have been an outage in the opt-in process. Can you try opting in by clicking on the banner in the home page? That should fix it for you

Thanks! “Can you try opting in by clicking on the banner in the home page” - The banner has disappeared.

Hey Cookie,
Did this account have the banner before? Or did you opt in using another account?

I can’t remember exactly, but I’m pretty sure this account had it before, it may have been another account but I can’t remember exactly. But I haven’t logged onto a friends account, I’ve only made alt accounts (rarely), but I can’t remember exactly.

Hey! I was showing someone the app and found a bug, I was showing off the UIBlur you guys had with the controls menu and found when you first go to your esc menu it shows a slight dark tint over your screen then when you go into your controls menu and exit it the dark tint disappears and you’ll need to double tap esc to exit your esc menu.

The Main Frame seems to have an issue where it seems like engineers forgot to set BorderSizePixel to 0, so this would be a one line change.

You can’t see this faint line on dark mode, but on Light Mode it’s very apparent.

I have tried out the beta app, and it’s a bit bad.
Because whenever I try joining a game that’s a bit intensive in my pc, The Roblox App Beta just freezes without “not responding”, and easily closable. Seems to me that it gave up loading the game due to my pc.

Edit: Other than that, it’s pretty good.

Hi, here’s some issues that need to be fixed before this is released.

Shaky toggles

Toggles have this small weird effect, when they’re reaching the other side, you can notice them doing a slight shake, which is odd, and doesn’t look very purposeful.

Players tab is animationless

The players tab inside the menu is animation lacking compared to other tabs, it looks unfinished, as you can see.

Popup menu on the left side is unanimated

The little popup menu on the left side that shows up when hovering the roblox menu logo is also unanimated, and because of that it’s very on your face, it’s kind of distracting, and doesn’t look good.

Edit: It also doesn’t hide the player list, but it seems to hide everything else, which looks really odd.

Hovering over menu items has no animation

This is kind of personal, but I believe that these menu buttons which have what seems to be AutoButtonColor enabled, could be changed for custom tweening code for highlighting, which would look much better. I think everyone should agree with me on this.

This is actually already an effect in the home menu for a lot of buttons, and they look pretty great in there!
So, seeing this here would be nice.

Top search button is unanimated

The top search bar could be better animated, it hides some of the other buttons, but again, it looks very harsh, and inconsistent with a lot of other places with do have animations.

I’m gonna go brief on some of next stuff, but again, it’s all animation.

Give the friend clicking action some animation

Give opening a game page some animation


It’s clear that animation is an area in here that seriously needs work done, these are just some of the things that could be improved but there’s plenty more that make the experience too inconsistent for it to be any close to releasing.

This beta visually, hasn’t changed for me, not at least since May or so, and that’s pretty sad to see.
