Hey everyone! I understand RobloxPlayerBeta can be frustrating, and you may dislike it(like I do). This includes the new chat bar they have, which is a let down. It doesn't allow you to walk and type, and deletes your content within the chat bar when you attempt to start typing again after you stop. I hate this, and I am sure others do as well.
I am going to give as clear as I can instructions on downgrading to the old chat bar(Roblox Player). This may not work forever, but it works at this moment as far as I am concerned. I found this after messing around with Roblox Versions.
Steps:
First of all. you should know: I am using Windows 7, and I am unsure on how to do this on any other OS, sorry!
1. Search for %appdata% in your menu search bar thingy.. (I am tired, I forgot what you call it)
2. A window should come up, at the top, there should be a bar saying 'AppData', click the arrow next to it. A drop-down bar should come down, click on Local.
3. You should see a bunch of things, consisting of what you have stored on your computer. You /should/ see Roblox's file around in the middle. Be sure to double click that!
4. When you're in the Roblox folder, head over to 'Versions' and go into that file.
5. When you're in 'Versions', you should see 3 main folders. All consisting of letters and numbers. Double click each one, and look in each one until you find 3 things:
-RobloxPlayer -RobloxPlayerBeta -RobloxPlayerLauncher
6. When you find the folder that has these, this is where the true wizardry comes in handy. (Jokes, it's simple!)
7. This may be confusing, but you should be able to get it. All you have to do is switch RobloxPlayer and RobloxPlayerBeta! You rename RobloxPlayer to RobloxPlayerBeta, and RobloxPlayerBeta to RobloxPlayer. To make sure you don't lose track of which one is which, keep a note of which one's file size is which. (Kinda like a ClassName)
8. When everything is switched around, RobloxPlayerBeta should be in the middle. If it is not, you have failed the task my friend. Try playing with it until you got it.
9. Restart your computer, and join a game. Once you do that, you should see the glorious, glorious gray chat bar! This means you have succeeded into doing basic wizardry. If this has helped, I am glad.
Have a wonderful day with the new chat bar!

| It does work but if you just Roblox, right click it and click on destination folder. And then right click roblox player, destination folder. Then you are there aswell. |

It worked. Thank you. Try bumping this every now and then quite a few people are having this issue.

Mine doesn't have those three things in it. It just has Plugins, Server and Visit. |

| Yes, you need to go into each folder of the version (Random letters and numbers) go into each of those folders, until you find those 3 things. |

| There is one good thing about RobloxPlayerBeta though, if a gui on a game is going off the screen, like Nearmiss TFW'S Wingz World V Trade, you can restore down the window and then resize it so you can see more. |

Just an FYI, this does work. I am unsure of why people are saying it doesn't. It shows that they are incapable of doing a simple task of messing with files.
Damn. |
