Every time ROBLOX updates on OS X, it pins itself to the dock. This is very annoying, because I have to remove it every single time it updates. Is it too much to ask for this bug/feature/whatever to be removed? (I would assume it’s a bug, as you probably only want this to happen on initial install, not updates).
Thanks.
Roblox and Roblox Studio for OS X really needs a lot of work
There is just so much wrong with it and it’s been a year and pretty much no improvement has been made. They REALLY need to improve how it runs.
Stuff like this:
-When it updates it creates a duplicate studio icon (which you’ve just found)
-There’s no “full screen” button in the top right corner (which drives me crazy cause I want to be able to have the entire window in full screen and be able to switch to other things without putting it in its own desktop)
-The script editor for me lags like hell, I don’t know why. Emulating the windows version of studio runs better
-Framerate is capped to 30 FPS in studio
-Scroll bars appear all the time which is completely unnecessary for a Mac app, they should go away when you’re not scrolling
-The controls are too sensitive
-Scrolling isn’t smooth
-Zooming in and out isn’t smooth
-Popup dialogs don’t even look right
-Popup dialogs shouldn’t be popups, they should be sliding panels at the top of the window
And a ton more annoying stuff
As a Windows user that just hopped on board to Mac, I can already easily tell that it is not a well put together app. The problem, I think, is that the studio team, even the ones responsible for the Mac app, are all non-Mac users and don’t know how a Mac app should be.
It literally takes a few seconds to enable the full screen button from a little option in Xcode. I can do it in seconds, how come they couldn’t do it in well over a year?

Roblox is using Qt.
Qt is absolutely horrible and shitty. It has most of the problems above. It’s even proprietary !!!
Why can’t ROBLOX go with something better like wxWidgets? It just released it’s 3.0.0 version. (could take a rewrite)
ROBLOX should remove the place itself to dock, and restart the window manager. It’s just freaking annoying.

I hope studio 2014 has Mac improvements…a lot of them
It’s just a huge mess at the moment.
Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but my MacBook gets extremely hot when playing a ROBLOX game. This isn’t normal. I can play other games that take up a lot more resources than ROBLOX should, and it’s just warm to the touch- not blazing hot.
Also, I can’t even use studio on Mac because it’s just so laggy and buggy. ROBLOX for Mac is just not a pleasant experience. There are way too many problems, and it feels like ROBLOX is just completely ignoring them.
ROBLOX actually runs better inside of a Windows virtual machine on OS X than it does natively. There is a serious problem with that.

something in your computer is getting hot.
I agree, ROBLOX for Mac has a lot of problems.
I could fix them… if the code were open source.
Too bad ROBLOX is proprietary.

Same with me.

I guess it’s time to get a proper operating system then.

No wonder your karma gets down voted so often. Your blatantly ignorant opinion is completely unneeded; especially on this forum.

Witch one?
Solaris? OS9? Windows? FreeBSD? Ubuntu?
I don’t like your blatantly ignorant opinion.
