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

Who prefers the website version? There are some perks like adding alot of stuff, but if they really care about it, they can still use the website version no matter what, it’s still gonna be there.
The website version NEVER loads your avatar right for most people. If not all.

Where THE HECK did I say I coudn’t?
I said this is way better because you CAN change your avatar through the client;
The website and its stuff isn’t going away any time soon;
Alot of people including me had computers which would struggle with both chrome and roblox open at the same time, because RAM. Chrome uses like 600mb, roblox about 300, plus windows that uses like 1gb of ram. There you go 2GB of being used!

I remember suddenly having this beta a few weeks ago, and god it was horrible with major performance issues on all games.(yes it was the regular roblox client) Are these issues addressed with the new beta?


I had this interface for a long time, am I one of those? 1/100?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have a 9 year old computer and it loads properly on the website, and on all other devices of everyone I know… This is likely a problem with your device or internet, I’m afraid.

If chrome is using too much ram for you, there are many alternatives out there.

You have to leave the game to change your outfit, because you can only have one roblox window open at a time

I’d say I sort of like the idea of this, but it feels too much like mobile. Like we don’t need the game window to pop up in a tiny phone like window and everything just feels harder to navigate(like how a bunch of the stuff is now just in their own tab).

You were probably part of the 1% of the new In Game Menu rollout. It’s not related to this new one.

Just added it to the FAQ, but yup! In-game performance should be identical regardless of whether or not you are in the beta.

I got this update on my alt (for some reason) and after launching it from my alt, starting the roblox client will automatically start the new application with my main!

The new menus look awesome! I hope this update gets out to more people.

Edit:
Oh, I have an idea that is pretty unlikely to happen, but what if Studio was integrated directly into this new application, instead of having two new separate apps?

You on true, but it was an random roblox player selection?

i happen to know about a very convinient program called firemin, this program allows you to limit ram usage on any application

I know what you mean, but I don’t think that the Roblox Studio Software can merge with this new one, because it would be relatively heavy and that is impossible? I can only imagine a software like that of the new folding phones.

Will this new in-game menu eventually come to all platforms after beta? It’s was temporary enabled earlier this year for desktop but it was reverted back to only 1% of desktop. If so, I can’t wait to see this in mobile as I think it will look great.

is there a way to know if i have got this update?

Very nice! I’m one of those lucky 1% of people!

You will know if you see this at the top of your homepage


You’d click Try It Now and it’d pretty much replace the original ROBLOX app with this new one!

Note that it will allow you to use the website but it’ll open the new app instead of opening the website if you open with the icon

I think that the “Controls” screen should be able to be hidden through scripts, as it may provide irrelevant info about the game’s controls.
Overall, this is a great change! I hope that this magically fixes Roblox support on Linux as well since it would help me a lot as a game developer.

From what I understand, this’s basically the site integrated into the RobloxPlayer application or to a similar effect? If so, would this allow switching games/servers while in your current session or will you have to exit to join another? Basically being an all-in-one package (mini-site + player in one)?

Overall something to look forward to. :slight_smile:

Once the app releases will I be forced to use it on a Windows 10 computer or will I still be able to use the site?

I currently do not have it when I opened the Roblox app. Let’s see if I’m one of the 1 percent…
