The title of this post may seem a bit vague, so I’m here to make it clarified. There are times when pressing “PLAY” on any game will lead to RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe auto-corrupting its own files.
How often does the bug happen (Everytime/sometimes/rarely)?
This bug will always occur once it has occurred once.
What are the steps that reproduce the bug? Please list them in very high detail. Provide simple example places that exhibit the bug and provide description of what you believe should be the behavior.
To reproduce this bug, simply press “PLAY” on any game and it can (and sometimes will) fail to launch.
Where does the bug happen (www, gametest, etc) Is it level-specific? Is it game specific? Please post a link to the place that exhibits the issue.
This bug is an application-wide bug that will affect the player regardless of the game they are joining.
When did the bug start happening? If we can tie it to a specific release that helps us figure out what we broke.
I haven’t an exact date but I was able to track down a similar issue reported on DevForum a couple of years ago. This bug has affected me since 2018, I have constantly been deleting ROBLOX from my Program Files and AppData yet it seems every so often the application will go dark on me.
Some people will say that I shouldn't have made this post and instead replied to the old one from 2 years ago. They are wrong, replies should only be added to old posts if you have something significant to add (A Top Contributor told me this).
