The message is displayed when the root place is believed to be not filtering enabled. In order for the place to be registered as filtering enabled, the place must be visited. After the first visit, the message will no longer appear. This was a trade off that we made in order to get the message displayed to users before they join the game.

That seems like a silly system since experimental mode is gone and FilteringEnabled is now forced on all games. Why would Roblox believe the root place does not have FilteringEnabled when it is forced on all games? Seems to me that the message should have been removed when experimental mode was and that all future games should be automatically registered as having FilteringEnabled.

So that old games with FilteringEnabled set to false are labeled with the “needs to be updated by the developer” notice?

Alright, fair point about not removing the message entirely. However it still doesn’t make sense not to automatically register new places as FilteringEnabled.

Yeah I agree. Like I said, it’s probably just a leftover.

This issue still seems to be prevalent in my game, Redshift Arena.
I’ve made a thread relating to it, but I’ve yet to receive any response on it.
Basically, any newly created place in a universe will instantly make that place non-compatible with crossplatforming, and it seems to fix it self once the place is no longer marked as “ExperimentalMode.”
My game has almost 30 places in it, so going through each place just to fix that problem is tedious.

This doesn’t work for me, my game already got over 100 visits as we are currently testing the game, but we still got this message appearing under our game title. Is there any other way to solve this problem?

I have a game I recently released that has about 100-300 active players at all times, as well as another project recently released (which has been visited). The warning still appears.
Yes, the website sees the root place as not respecting filtering enabled, but that’s why this is reported as a bug. This is an issue by creating a poor impression on new players.

This happens to me too. Usually it only goes away when I update it.

I am experiencing a bug where the game was just made, the owner of the group just played each one of the games inside the group, and for whatever reason, it still is giving me the " This game may not function as intended. The developer needs to update the game." Note
I am unsure what to do and I’m planning for launch shortly, any help would be great!

My newly created game is facing the same problem despite me updating it. Roblox needs to fix this if this is a website bug.

This weird bug happens to me too while the FilteringEnabled in my game is enabled and the place has been visited multiple times.

You should edit your posts with game links where this happens. “this happens to me too” without extra details doesn’t help whatever engineer is reviewing this topic to resolve the issue.

Close out any studios you have open and then play the game, then leave the game. Edit the game in studio (but you do not have to do anything just open and close) and then refresh your game page and it should be removed.

Tried that, this isn’t something on our end this is something on Roblox’s end.
Any game you have created in the past week or so when you make it active and play it or edit it, the “This game may not function as intended” is still showing up. I really hope Roblox can fix this soon!!!

This bug is still present with this game of mine too. It was made a few days ago. All places have FilteringEnabled toggled. Blockworlds (revamp soon) - Roblox
