PSA: The Roblox app beta for Windows is now underway!

Critical Bug Report

Hello, A few hours ago I was automatically enrolled in the beta program of the new App, without having touched anything After My Roblox Updated.

And honestly now I find myself with an App that I did not want and it only creates lags and crashes while I try to enter the games

is there a way out of this program and not having this terrible app anymore?, Now I crash 80% of the time while trying to get into the game while before this update I had no problem!

Thanks for the bug report. Can you provide your tech specs so we can diagnose the issue.

You can opt out of the Roblox app beta by following the steps outlined here: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054053812-Roblox-Beta-App

Hello, Thank You For answering me within a short time.

Do I have to send my PC stastics?
Or I should describe the bug with more detail?
Since , it still seems strange to me that the app was activated by itself without touching any banner after the latest roblox update.
if it helps, I can also send a photo of my home page where there is no banner yet.

Edit:
for the question of exiting the Beta program I followed the instructions and everything returned as before, Now everything works again, Thank you!

UI Bug report

I am using this amazing app I got the ability to use today, and i go to save an avatar and when i try to name it, the text is super large!

I’m not sure if it’ll help or not but incase it does, i’m using an
HP ENVY x360 with a Ryzen 7 processor and AMD Radeon graphics.

(completely unrelated, but can i post suggestions for the app here?)

Yup! You can post feedback, just like @Sonostrano20 did, and I agree that does look like a pretty big UI.

Hey there. I am disappointed to have noticed that the app is nothing but a poorly optimized replica of the play store version of the app.

What I mean is, apart from joining games, when I go to the premium or the groups’ page, I get a strange popup for that rather than it being directly shown on the app. I found that really bizarre and strange, and immediately drops the app’s quality for me.

This also looks extremely bland. Try to add some animated backgrounds or color to the app in general?

Alright, suggestions incoming!
Number one, there’s no advanced button anywhere!
(I’m a bit bad at drawing.)



For the body colors image, there’s enough room to put every brick color there so you might not need to add an “advanced” for body colors.

Number two, why not put Studio inside of the roblox app?

It’s a great idea, you could switch from website to studio almost instantly.

Number 3, Where are the IDs?


I’m assuming this would be added alongside the addition of the library/develop tab.
For Decal IDs, it could have a dropdown box [v] at the end to switch between the decal ID itself (the one in the URL) and the Image ID (The one that it changes to if you insert the decal ID into a decal in Studio, or via the use of Roblox+)

This is a browser version of the play store app, which is hella buggy on computer, and the browser version is actually quite smooth in my opinion. (My alternate got the BETA but I didn’t :sad: )

As far as I’m concerned, the app isn’t a browser…

@Sonostrano20 more details on the bug would be helpful, so that we can try replicating/diagnosing it.

Ok So, here More Info of my PC:

My CPU: Intel Core i5-9300H
Memory (RAM): 8GB
Total Memory PC: 500GB
System: Windows 10

Bug Description
2 days ago, When I was starting roblox to enter a game, roblox started updating as it normally does.
After it has finished updating The New Roblox App opens Automatically, without having to click on any banner, So I entered the game from the app at that point, while the game is loading a window comes out with the following text:
" An unexpected error occurred and Roblox needs to quit, We're sorry!"
Automatically The App closes and brings me back to the desktop/ Bronswer (I have tested it in various games)
or if it does not crash When I enter the the FPSs go high while I play, to make it practically unplayable.
I also saw that from the active management the new roblox app has a very high memory consumption, it use more memory than chrome,
I recommend trying to see how improve the performance.

Now that i remove it, i have no longer this problem and honestly I can play any game with 10 graphics while before with 1 graphics I was lagging (With new roblox app)

I hope I was as clear as possible, let me know if you need more info!

I meant the app that launches from the browser.

is the app supposed to lack all VR functionality? there’s no way to enable it.

I don’t appreciate roblox kneecapping my main source of income.

The application is still being worked on. It’s unfinished. VR isn’t the main priority right now.

The application is launching when you go to the Roblox website?

I also want to see is there any develop pages?

I tested it out and here are a few problems:

  1. Sometimes when I press a button it will open another window on my computer which I don’t want since it causes lag and just wastes my time.

  2. Every time I want to play Roblox in this new beta I have to sign in and do the Gmail code (It doesn’t save even when I check “Save device for 30 days.”.), this can be fixed by saving the accounts after you first sign in like in the website.

What kind of button? And what is there in the other window?

I assume that’s just a temporary placeholder for now.

Like for example if I wanted to go to my profile.

There’s a button above your profile picture, and it says launch the app. I can add a screenshot if you’d like.
