Studio claims it is corrupted when you attempt to open without internet connection

I can’t open Studio when I’m not connected to the internet. Instead I see this error message:

I’m running the latest version of Studio (I was previously connected and updated it), and macos Ventura 13.0.1

Expected behavior

I should be able to open Studio when I’m offline as I might want to edit local files. Currently this bug is preventing me from doing this

You cannot access studio without internet. This is not a bug.

Cool, but even if that’s the case (which I’ve not seen documented anywhere officially), it is a bug for it to tell me my Studio install is corrupted. At the very least they can change this error message and be truthful with people that they’ve made a deliberately egregious design decision to force people to use Studio online.

Maybe I’m just too old because Roblox Studio offline was very much a thing for the majority of time I’ve been developing on the platform.

Studio still works in offline! This might be an issue exclusive to the mac version. It tells me I don’t have an internet connection but still can launch on windows.

No it doesn’t?

First, I got a pop-up telling me that I was offline, and that Studio might not function properly offline, and whether or not I would like to continue. Selecting continue led to this:

Trying to run Studio again offline (because I had not managed to get a screenshot of the warning box) led to this error message:

It looks like Studio caches something when failing the first time, which leads to the above error message, but the first time it fails gives the same error as Mac, just slightly different in that you can tell Studio to ignore the initial error, but it still fails anyway.

(Also, it’s weird that the first error box is Windows 7-styled, but the second error box is Windows 10-styled?)


@realOmlet if you look REALLY closely at what I said above, you will notice that I encountered this menu, but Studio gave an error message anyway after attempting to continue, shown in the first screenshot of this reply.

This is not a good error message for this condition. We have updated this and it should be out very soon.

I don’t believe that you are really supposed to run Studio offline, since it uses online features.
