Roblox client thinks I got Qwerty (got Azerty)

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

I got azerty, but I need to press Q to get an A while chatting etc.
(not to mention , became M and other crazy stuff)
The chat hotkey also changed (probably by this issue) which is also annoying.

Character movement still works fine.
(Where a Qwerty user would press W, I press Z, so it’s the same physical key)

I haven’t played much online lately, but I think I had this issue for 2 weeks now.
(I almost played nothing online that required me to chat or interact with a TextBox)

Unrelated to ROBLOX but Windows 10 keeps changing my keyboard to the American QWERTY every time it updates, I still don’t know where the hashtag is lol

I was able to fix it by pressing WindowsKey+Spacebar to switch to the right keyboard layout.
I have no idea why, but the ROBLOX client doesn’t follow the global layout, but keeps a local setting.
Doing W+Bar in-game doesn’t change my OS layout, and doing it outside doesn’t change the it in-game.

Basically the ROBLOX client keeps track of the keyboard layout itself instead of using the OS settings.
(No idea why. The client also saves it, so rejoining a game doesn’t fix it automatically)

@Crykee maybe this’ll also fix it for you ^
(although ROBLOX still needs to fix the “doesn’t use the global setting” problem)

Thanks! Yeah, it allows me to switch to my downloaded UK keyboard a lot faster than otherwise.

You can also disable that Alt+LeftShift changes keyboard layout.
Very useful for programs that have shortcuts that use this combination, like Blender.
(can’t disable WKey+SpaceBar, but it’s not like you’ll press that combination by accident, unless key smash)

Seems like some windows update did some weird stuff with my layout settings.
Everytime I joined a new game, my layout would be qwerty again.
I was able to fix it by:

  • Going to the config screen “Change input methods”
  • Clicking “Advanced settings” in the side bar
  • Disabling “Let me set a different input method for each app window”

Now when I join a roblox game, it uses my global layout.
(changing it in ROBLOX now also changes it globally)

I’m gonna say this is the fault of a Windows 10 update, not ROBLOX.
