Recently, there has been an issue with Roblox where if you DISABLE Automatic Text Capture, it re-enables after some time. This is an issue specifically for puzzle games, as it scrapes hidden codes or solutions of puzzles.
This is an issue, as the whole point for both puzzle players and creators is to either create intricate and hard puzzles or to solve them.
For example, in my game, i had Localization fully turned off, but i still had player reports that they were able to access codes scraped by Roblox’s localization.
Yet still, i had countless dms from community members telling me they were able to access translation data.
^ this file had all of my game’s codes, even ones that havent been found yet.
Much more recently, this had happened with a developer of My Himitsu. a game with arguably the hardest puzzle on roblox.
– mind you, she had localization scraping turned OFF, yet it scraped anyway.
The only thing you as a developer can do to counter this is check your game’s page every day and press “delete table”.
roblox plz fix ![]()
More info is in this video by Feodoric, showing the bug actively spoiling puzzle solutions via Bloxdump. Just because its potentially against TOS, doesnt mean it will stop people.
Expected behavior
Disabling translation scraping should be permanent and not turn back on.
