Slow launch of roblox player window

Impact: Low/Medium
When clicking play on the website, the Roblox Player takes up to 20 seconds to render the window. The audio loads in before the window even does, and the loading screen is never shown.

Expected behavior

Expected Behavior: Roblox used to open in under 2-5 seconds of the launching roblox window appearing, showing the loading screen, and not playing audio until I could see the game. This was superior in functionality and form, as the loading screen made it feel like something was actually happening.

maybe check task manager to make sure you don’t have a crypto miner or something using up all of your cpu

I’m not stupid. I know for a fact that I have ample system overhead, it only started happening after an update.

@Wayyllon - sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s very unusual. We’ve not seen this behavior with app launch - it’s particularly strange how the windows taskbar icon is dormant… until it isn’t, and you jump right into the experience.

is this happening every time?

Yes. Every time I launch any game it occurs, I can get more information once I’m home with my computer to see when the task actually launches, I have checked and it does not exist in Alt+Tab view prior to it appearing in the task bar.

I can also try reinstalling if you would like that, but if you want to look into it I will leave it as is.

Thx for the additional details. We’re looking into this.

Feel free to reach out for more info like windows version rb player logs or anything you need to reproduce it, ty.

p.s. this bug report i made a month ago is still unsquashed, and is under your jurisdiction (afaik), not to be annoying

ive also had the same issue for a few weeks, however, the launcher seems to launch faster without my monitor plugged in (using a laptop)

This was fixed for me by the update this Wednesday.
