I’m not expert in this, but seems like graphics mode issue. In the meantime, it can’t really solve, but it’ll help out a temporary fix. You should try Bloxstrap and change graphics mode between OpenGL and Direct3D 1x and see which one works for you. If it works, then it’s likely graphics issue. Have you tried updating your graphics driver by the way? Also, are you sure you didn’t make changes to FFlags on legacy Windows Roblox manually by preferring Vulkan?
