I am experiencing an issue where Roblox does not launch when my system time is set to automatic. However, when I manually set the date to a future day (e.g., changing from August 31 to September 1), Roblox launches without any problems.
Video Reference:
I found a YouTube video suggesting a temporary workaround, but this is not a permanent fix. Here is the link for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbmfZf8fuxs.
This is happening for me as well, I have tried just about every method to get it to work but changing the date to the future is the only way it launches at all.
I will very gladly send any client logs I have as well, please shoot me a private message.
Running a fresh install of Windows 11 23H2.
Methods I have attempted to do include… a full re-install of Roblox, administration install, compatibility install, Windows Store Roblox (it crashes after the Roblox logo), and many others. This is the only method that has temporarily resolved the issue.
Update Sept 28th, 2024: The issue has resolved itself, I am unsure what fixed it but it is not failing to launch anymore. I still have startup logs from when the issue was happening, so I can provide those if necessary.
Was encountering this same issue, most notably on a fresh install of windows 11. It fixed itself when it reached the day I was having to set it to (the next day), I’m not sure if that was related but it works as normal now.
On a fresh install of Windows 11, the Roblox player closes itself 100% of the time as soon as it launches. The only fix is to set your time forward by like 18 hours at least (idk the exact number). There’s also nothing notable in logs.
Yesterday we finished a new PC build and downloaded a fresh install of Windows 11 around 3 PM our time, and we had to set the date to today at 3PM to launch Roblox. It was still broken up until 9AM this morning, and now it launches perfectly fine at the correct system time like nothing happened.
Sorry about the ‘necroposting’, But I’m still having this issue and it’s incredibly frustrating. I built a new computer, Upgrading to a Ryzen 9 7900x3d and installed a fresh copy of windows from a brand new install media on my SSD. Afterward, And still now, I can’t launch roblox without manually updating my clock to be in the future.
