Are you going to make it available for the ‘then new Windows 11’?

I have a bug report.
From last Sunday I whenever am opening the Roblox app (ms store version) roblox is just randomly crashing.
I am not enrolled in the beta of the app, but I am in the Roblox beta, if its related at all.
Detailed report:
Laptop specifications:
HP Pavilion x360
i5 8th gen
UHD 620 integrated graphics
8 GB RAM
Total 256 GB SSD, 140 GB free.
Bug:
From last sunday whenever I open the app, it randomly crashes when I start the app. The loading screen appears, I see the username and my avatar, and after 2 seconds boom. It crashes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.
Thanks, I hope this issue is addressed and will be fixed.

It should work on Windows 11. The only major issue is that IE11 will not be included with Windows 11. Many functions of the Roblox app rely on an embedded version of IE11 (presumably temporarily until Roblox finishes all parts of the app), so the results could be catastrophic.

I would like to let you know;

This didn’t happen to me when I had the official beta and got it on my alt account. (It dissapeared for some reason)

However this is an issue if you’re using the method I published, as it’s non official, with time it does log you off.

There’s no reason for them to do it right now.
It’s for them just a question of adding some Luau code.
That interface is all built using Luau and Roact.

Windows has more testing subjects, it’s not a question of being able to, there’s just no reason, supposedly.

Shh don’t give them ideas

Roblox should put their new app in the Microsoft Store now that Microsoft has lifted a bunch of the restrictions.

Agreed. It would be a great opportunity to get rid of horribly performing and very glitchy Microsoft Store version of roblox.

Yeah, the UWP version of Roblox is unpolished.

A little question here, will the ESC menu be colored lightly for light theme? I recall something being said about that but i don’t remember where or if it was actually said.

You can ask the app engineer to change the embedded browser from IE11 to Chromium or Microsoft Edge

I experienced the same problem while I was playing Jailbreak

Short little suggestion incoming: What if you were able to choose a “Sync with Computer” Theme, like in Discord? This would make it much easier to swap between themes, as you can just change between light/dark theme in your computer’s Settings and it will change to that corresponding theme (rather than having to switch it manually). Studio already has this feature (“default” Theme), so why not the Roblox app?

I think you should create a post about this, before your comment get’s taken down for being off-topic. Great idea though! :smiley:

It might need an upgrade. But wait, you can even upgrade the splash screen:
Light: have the black logo on white background
Dark: have the white logo on black background

hopefully, I can use windows 11 with this update Yet

This reminds me of Windows 8/8.1 Store apps. It’s not particularly nice, no.
