Roblox Player won't launch after I click "Play" on an experience

#1

I click “Play” on an experience, it comes up with the “Roblox is now loading, get ready!” screen, and then after a few seconds it goes straight to this screen without any indication of the application opening what-so-ever.

I have tried reinstalling the Roblox Player and restarting my PC to no avail. I’m completely clueless on what to do but it’s not working on every experience I try to open.

I am still able to load Roblox’s Windows App and Roblox Studio.

System Information:

Windows 11 x64
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-13900K, 3000Mhz, 24 Core(s)

Expected behavior

I expect the Roblox Player to load when I click “Play”

I also experienced this yesterday, I believe it was from the update.
It said updating roblox then just closed and then wouldnt open anymore.

Same issue. Roblox apparently “fixed” the crashing issue for launching Roblox, however it doesn’t work on the browser. A way to mitigate this is to launch the games from the Roblox desktop app.

Ditto, as of yesterday, 10/25, I cannot launch Roblox whatsoever. I have exhausted all other supposed methods to fix. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me either.

Please do tell what the provided solution was. I can’t seem to find anything else that will resolve this.

if you have that issue, and you are on Windows 11 Insider Preview, this is likely the reason

Hi, This is not the issue in my case. My Game still crashes despite not having this application. I have re-installed and deleted all related files to Roblox, despite that I still cant open Roblox it crashes instantly. Roblox Studio works perfectly fine
