Apparently Roblox made a few huge updates. Many people find that they cannot play, and they wonder why. However, what you all should realize is that your PC which once was able to play is probably over a few years old and is now outdated.

"But I was able to play a few days ago! Why shouldn't I be able to play now?!!?"
This is because the newest updates (perhaps) raised the bar for minimum requirements. Those of you who are still using Vista (or even XP which is even older) probably should not expect to have those requirements met. Be aware that Vista is a 7 year old operating system, and XP is 10+ years. Perhaps your PC is newer, but realize that it contains components only meant to be working with the technology of it's time.

If you want to play again, it's advisable to upgrade to either 7 or 8 WITH decent compute specs.

But what if we have Windows 7 with decent specs, and Roblox doesn't work? What am I supposed to do now?

Figure out the difference between your definition of decent and Roblox's definition. It could be one spec throwing it off.

Maybe more than one. ROBLOX as been improving since 2004. It's obvious that they would rather have higher than standard qualities.

Exactly. But people automatically think that their one PC will last the entire time they play Roblox, when in reality, Roblox requires CONSTANTLY decent specs to run their new graphics updates and lighting updates.

I've been using my windows 7 for a few years now, never had any problems with roblox until yesterday, I'm capable of playing nearly every game on ultra including Total War, yet when I move my mouse on ROBLOX it causes my FPS to drop down to 5-9 when it was around 57-61, I was even capable of recording in 1080p with FRAPS. Care to explain as to how my machine can't support this game.

I haven't experienced any problems, but maybe when roblox updated a file corrupted for them? You can't just blame their PC even though most of the time it is. Most people don't even reinstall roblox correctly, they don't even bother to delete all their roblox studio files and reinstall if studio errors. I have only encountered a studio or client error two times and that's it.

It could also just be a bunch of crap downloaded on their pc that's screwing with their files.

Just because you can play other games doesn't mean you can play Roblox. Each game requires a different set of minimum specs in order to run. If for some reason you can't run Roblox, you probably have a lower-end PC even if it's got some high end hardware.

Yes, that is true. But my point here is that it's NOT ROBLOX's problem for not letting you play. It's your PC or your maintenance of your PC. To put it simply: It's a problem on YOUR end, not Roblox's.

COULD be your RAM. 2gb is rather lacking for most current PCs or laptops. However I don't have enough information about your system so I cannot say for sure.

Zane, this might be from all the major updates that ROBLOX is going through. Please be patient, as it will all be fixed in a matter of time.

No, they've said that they keep making things so it works with older systems, and it's not because it's XP because I'm running Roblox on an Dell Latitude D630 with XP. Anyways, they would make a blog post if they dropeed support for a specific OS.

Lol MC is far less advanced and resource demanding than Roblox. And just because it doesn't have "lag" doesn't mean you can run Roblox without lag.

88T is right, again. MC doesn't have as much scripts and items like ROBLOX does. There is much more to ROBLOX than MC.

PC/Windows: ROBLOX will install on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. For Windows 8 you will need to run ROBLOX in Desktop Mode as Metro Mode is not currently supported.
Mac: ROBLOX will install on 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and higher - and Intel only Macs.
Apple iOS: ROBLOX Mobile supports iPad 2+, iPhone 4+ and iPod touch 5th Generation. iOS 5 or greater is required.
Linux: ROBLOX is not supported on Linux.
Note: ROBLOX video recording feature only works on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

System Requirements

Graphics Card: ROBLOX requires DirectX 9 minimum and Shader Model 2.0. For the best performance we recommend either a computer less than 5 years old with a dedicated video card, or a computer less than 3 years old with an integrated video card.
Processor: ROBLOX recommends you have a recent processor (2005+) with a clock speed of 1.6 Ghz or better. There have been some issues with older AMD processors.
RAM or Memory: ROBLOX recommends you have at least 1 GB of memory on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers. At least 512 Mb of memory is recommended for Windows XP.
Storage Space: ROBLOX recommends you have at least 20 Mb of system storage space to install ROBLOX.
Internet Requirements

ROBLOX will run on Dial-Up connections, however your experience will not be optimal. ROBLOX recommends you have DSL, Cable internet, or faster.

This is what ROBLOX said and XP is still supported. I have xp.
