Been reading this thread, @Bitdancer has been very helpful and love the useful questions!
Not sure if this has been asked yet but when will 100% of players receive the 64 bit clients? I have a game demo that uses extremely detailed textures to the point where it reaches more than 6gb of ram!
And I was wondering how many users are 32-bit users? I assume less than or near 0.05% (based off steam hardware survey of march 2023).
the byfron team has the most professional corporate environment ever!
I believe this is a sign that theyāre rolling it out to more people? I donāt believe Iāve had this other than the few times Iāve intentionally switched over to the āzwinplayer64ā channel.
may it rest : - (
Figured Iād post an update here: rbxfpsunlocker has been updated with support for the new client. Releases Ā· axstin/rbxfpsunlocker Ā· GitHub
This is also incorrect and misinformative. Again, please do not post irrelevant, speculative content.
As a security nerd myself, kernel level access creates a massive security risk. Iād rather not have a RING 0 program on my computer because itās effectively a root kit. Hopefully we donāt need a kernel level anticheat
So much for anti-cheat eh, blocking an entire userbase because your revolutionary anti-cheat doesnāt like it, how corporate. (Canāt wait @3dsboy08 to do the funny work and somehow bypass the wine block of course, what else?)
Is there anywhere to discuss 64 bit roblox client? Iām not sure if I should ask here since this is a bug report.
Iām just curious if we will be able to use more than 6 GB of RAM? I noticed that lots of PBR texture instances result in using more than 6 GB of RAM (I am new to using them so Iām unsure if there is a better method or if my textures are just intensive).
With the release of the Steam Deck, itās a shame that itās completely unable to play Roblox ā Iām aware that Linux systems (ChromeOS, SteamOS, Mint, etc.) only take up ~8% total market share, but it would be so nice to be able to natively play Roblox on Linux.
It gets better, they have a whole video on the boasting about moving experience servers to ubuntu.
Locking out linux/VM users under a generic āsecurity and compatibility concernsā holds no candle here. There is just no excuse to treat a subset of the roblox community as exploiters or malicious actors when entire experience servers run on linux.
The move from Windows Server 20XX to Linux is their only best move as Windows Server 20XX is a paid operating system so Roblox is required to pay annually to keep their license up to keep Game Servers running. while Linux is a free operating system that you donāt have to pay for just to host Game Servers.
Plus, its the most popular option for most Hosting Services as its easier to setup, the performance of Linux is much better and much more secure than Windows Server 20XX as Linux.
When you say server authoritative games are you meaning that developers should make anti-cheats out of Lua scripts and other components in studio? If so then in my opinion a proper anti-cheat like Hyperion is far more powerful and has the advantage of detecting exploits and even injections which anti-cheats in studio cannot do, I do believe that effective anti-cheats can be made in studio with good examples from the games like the streets and jailbreak and these effective anti-cheats could even work great with Hyperion therefore it should probably be staying then.
I also disagree on the anti-cheat being intrusive as itās not intrusive by nature since on the previous version of Byfrons website before they were purchased by Roblox it listed support for Windows, Linux and steam deck so it does have support for wine, it would only be intrusive for you if the blockage of wine was actually something that was intended to be blocked when the anti-cheat was first being created.
Anti-cheats on the serverā¦ is just validating (also put under the term sanitizing) what is sent from the client.
This is normal practice for anyone who works in web development. You validate that the form was correct, for example. This concept can very much be applied to game development as well.
Hyperion will be bypassed, because one, the exploiting market is lucrative on Roblox, secondly everything on the client can and will be changed to the userās desires. You donāt even need to be playing with the official Roblox client, somebody could be pretending to be one over the network.
There are a few gotchas with the way Roblox replicates changes (most recently being patched being the deletion of character parts) which arenāt very obvious to new developers, but also: we have forum threads, we have the create.roblox.com pageā¦ We could educate new developers that these things are possible, and they should secure themselves against it. No client-side anti-cheat is going to stop them when they step around it.
I do agree that I was misinformed on it being intrusive - but at the same time, when you live in a world where AAA titles like to put the sketchiest things on ring zero, it doesnāt help to be a little paranoid for what could come next.
Edit: Iād also like to add discussion about such topics should probably be in a separate thread at this pointā¦
