Roblox client doesn't update on Thursdays

Consistently for the past few weeks, I’ve been unable to play roblox every Thursday.

For the entire day I’ll get a message saying “Roblox client is out of date. Please uninstall and try again”

I’ve tried reinstalling, clean reinstalling, and rebooting my computer, but nothing helps.

This is the most hilariously specific bug I’ve ever seen.

The stars align every Thursday to prevent certain Mac users from playing Roblox.

I know someone that said they was also getting this issue on an iMac 2013, Intel i7

The stars aligned again :frowning:

This is really starting to get annoying

You can install, but when you press Play you see the message

“ROBLOX version is out of date. Please uninstall and try again.”

inside the client window?

Can you check what the version of the client you have installed via Applications → open context menu on Roblox → Get Info?

It says version 0.231.0.69474

Studio has the same version

Client has to be the same version.
Try RobloxPlayerBeta.exe -v (I think it’s -v for version? eh)
Could also be the server is out of date, not your client.

But that’s for windows and him and I are using macs… and wouldn’t the server being out of date affect all kinds of devices?

#13

When does the client usually start working again? Friday?

#14

Yup, Friday morning it updates fine

I’m also able to play games just fine.

Sorry for bumping this, but I just ran into this. Just in case this happens to anyone else, here are the steps I followed to get it to update:

  1. Check to see if it will actually update
  2. If it doesn’t, then uninstall and then try to install and set up again.
  3. If that doesn’t work, reboot and try again

This always works for me, as I just had to do it to be able to work on my game.
