What's with the roblox menu?

Over the past few months, I was aware of roblox revamping their core guis. I stumbled across this gui:

Then, this GUI just suddently disappeared without a trace so we are back with this gui:

But now, image #1 Gui’s are striking back because my main account had the old GUI that roblox kept for years and my test (alt) account had the new gui. So in summary:

• Saw the old GUI being removed.
• New GUI (1st image) replace all my accounts (may 2020).
• New GUI disappeared. Old Gui back. (july 2020).
• Now new GUI is back but on certain accounts? (august 2020)

I don’t think I have dementia, but I am super confused about this. I am aware that roblox changed their topbar ages ago with an announcement: New In-Game Topbar - #796 by Ejioplex. But this menu gui thing is throwing me off. One side of me says, “cool new gui, i like it” then, it gets removed. Then I was like: “Ok maybe it isn’t good after all” then, now august, I was like “Ohh, Its back again!?!?!”

This is known as A/B testing. Basically, Roblox gives certain groups of people (random, or those who meet xyz criteria) select features to test it out. You can learn more by googling A/B testing.

Roblox talks about it here:

A|B Tests - Why Is There a New Feature Only Visible to Certain Players?

Is this for people who volunteer in the beta testing?

@Roblox

Hello everyone,

We have implemented a whole new process to add new Developers to the Beta Program. As per request, we are now allowing users to request into and out of the Beta Program at any time as long as you include a reason for it.
This thread will be actively monitored, please make sure to only use it for requests and not for discussions.

I’m fine with it, but I wouldn’t think roblox can just test stuff on random accounts without permission. At least get their consent through the beta testing.

[Fm_Trick (Trick)]

No. This has nothing to do with the developer beta program, as it’s not a developer controlled feature.

We have to live with it, it’s how most large scale operations work.

I guess you can bypass their ABTesting? Say you got placed in the “no new stuff” group, doesn’t this post tell you how to bypass it?

If you are one of the people who didn’t get the chance to test the new In-Game Menu and would like to try it out, this one’s for you.

As far as I know, the new In-Game Menu is not yet available in studio by default, this allows you to have full access to it within studio.

Step 1

Go to your Roblox Studio version folder. This is located in

C:\Users\YOUR_ACCOUNT\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-be3f47d363934729

Step 2

Navigate to

ExtraContent -> scripts -> CoreScripts -> Modules

and open the file called isNewInGameMenuEnabled.lua with a text editor.

Step 3

Go to the 6th line:

6| game:DefineFastString("NewInGameMenuForcedUserIds", "")

Add your User ID within the quotation marks beside "NewInGameMenuForcedUserIds"

6| game:DefineFastString("NewInGameMenuForcedUserIds", "39520489")

The next time you start studio, you should have the new In-Game Menu.

I saw this GUI in-game a long time back (maybe 4-6 months ago). Only stayed for a day or two, haven’t seen it since. I like it, though.
