Unfortunately the kexts for the adapted WEB drivers aren’t stable enough for the work I do outside of roblox as a full-time television production student. I actually have a laptop on the way to put Sequoia on. Might as well get something university-transport easy 
Fly High Lenovo High Sierra roblox studio machine (Aug 2024 - Jan 2025)
Can’t you just buy a new latest laptop or just a official Mac itself? I wouldn’t rlly trust hackintoshs for daily drivers as even basic updates can break everything, OpenCores website even says to avoid using it as a daily driver and more as a fun project.
well im surprised that roblox studio even started on school computers with school wifi
It’s a shame that Windows 7 service is ending now (Windows 10 and 11 will end someday too)
Yeah, of course Windows 10 and 11 will end somebody too… that’s how tech advancement works.
Anybody running on Windows 8.1, Windows 7, or older is just being naive or influenced by nostalgia. There are zero real benefits to using a 2009 operating system a over new one.
If you’re not happy with a new version of Windows for whatever reason, either use a different one (e.g. Apple’s OS), or use code/mods to remove/change features and bloat.
Aha, I wish. Being on $9USD an hour can be a little limited in what I can purchase, plus I like seeing hardware suffer so I’m in for the long haul. I do have a windows machine but the microsoft surfacebook is a little convoluted and weird when connected to a monitor.
Same logic applies to supporting obsolete Mobile devices and graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 2.0, even though the majority of Mobile users have much newer and better devices and supporting them doesn’t benefit the majority of Mobile and Roblox users and as long as they’re supported they’re holding back down the platform on many aspects and might require workarounds for supporting some features or improvements. With all that, Roblox is still holding back to drop support for them, which is literally absurd. What is even more absurd is that Roblox backtracked on dropping support for OpenGL ES 2.0 when they were about to last year, with no clear reason.
Now that Windows 7 and 8.x are no longer going to be supported, and Windows 10 is going to be the new required OS, can DirectX/3D 12 (maybe also DirectX 12 Ultimate) be supported and can DirectX/3D 10 support be dropped? DirectX/3D 10 is missing a lot of features in Roblox and quite has worse performance than DirectX/3D 11. Also since DirectX/3D12 is a low-level graphics API, it should provide better performance, that’s besides the other improvements in it that are mostly performance related. In addition to that, Roblox already supports modern low-level graphics APIs in other platforms like Android with Vulkan and IOS and MacOS with Metal so why not support DirectX/3D 12 on Windows too?
no no i replied to someone who said ‘some cant upgrade to win 10 bc their pc cant run it’ and i said how could you have fun with such an unstable and laggy experience considering you cant even upgrade to win 10
Fact or ragebait? I call the latter. I run it on radv wayland and its stability has only improved over time, but always was acceptable (crashed 5/6 times since using around when it was made public). Just yesterday a bugfix release claimed to improve stability. Though if you are those who follow “the more you buy, the more you save” then good luck.
Better arguments can be made against its licensing and subsequently distribution methods. On an unrelated note it connects to a C2 somewhere in Romania 
I’ve tried to run it on some pre-2020 Intel hardware and saying it ran was an understatement
And I opened an issue about what caused that! it defaulting to GL over Vulkan on old iGPUs
and it recently got closed with a “fix” that doesn’t even make sense, my issue was about it using vulkan on devices that supported it but ran it 3x slower than GL and it got closed saying they manually set it to enable when vulkan isnt supported. so you still have to edit the config thats hidden in weird places just to get above 20 fps on a baseplate
its over
i really dont get the reason to remove support for windows 7. Theres still a good deal of people who run windows 7 operating systems (like half of south america (also where are the southam servers lol)) who are also developers, of which i know a few, who will now no longer be able to access roblox for what? the sake of modernisation? wouldnt it be easier to just optimise the engine?
It’s an old nearly 20 year-old operating system that’s a big security risk, Roblox isn’t the only one to be dropping it, and they have no reason to keep supporting it
I use Roblox Studio on ChromeOS, will this affect me?
This makes me a bit upset, but why did Roblox end client support for Windows 7 and 8.1 first? They’re supposed to end Studio support for 7 and 8.1 in March 2025, and keep client support for Win7 and 8.1, this seems unfair.
Not at all, saying that there is still a good deal of people running Windows 7 is an exaggeration and saying that half of South America is still using it has no proof. According to Statscounter, Windows 7 has around a 2.4% market share while Windows 8.1 has 0.29% and Windows 8 has 0.18%. Now out of all those, I bet only a few really uses their devices for gaming and to play Roblox, most of Windows 7 and some 8.1 users are probably business users using it for business environment while personal users mostly purely only uses it for nostalgia. I think most of Roblox’s players still using Windows 7 and 8.x can upgrade to Windows 10, as Windows 10 requirements aren’t that much different than 7s or 8.x requirements anyways. Also I am pretty sure that most of those that still use Windows 7 and 8.x has modern capable hardware to run Windows 10, there’s absolutely no way you can run Roblox smoothly on a old Windows 7 or 8.x device, no way at all. Even my 2021 Windows 10 laptop struggles sometimes, now imagine someone with a much older device.
This is a very disappointing change.
Try using an VM, such as Oracle’s VirtualBox and choose an Windows [10 or 11] ISO from archive.org (please download a genuine ISO and beware of bots).
The funny thing is:
Rōblox used to support Windows XP and Vista when I made my account. If you run old 2008L versions of Rōblox today (both client and server), you’ll be more limited by the inefficient software than by any hardware.
Rōblox Studio versions older than 2013 (beta) couldn’t properly parse an rbxlx archive more than 150 MiB. This was before the binary format existed.
