and processes.

I opened cheat engine to use for skyrim and when i came back to roblox my game shut down.

I thought this was illegal without permission, but i guess ROBLOX are just such a company.

just tried it again and yes, my game shut down. Not sure if the game itself reads the processes or the ROBLOX.exe, but a game with code wouldn't be able to do that without a keylogger or backdoor.

There's a way to get around it

Go to settings

Scan settings

and check don't store temporary files in windows temp directory


then make a folder somewhere, on your desktop of wherever

put the folder location where it asks you where you want to store the files

???????????

Profit

They can't read your HDD(Hard Disk Drive). The Roblox client is a connectivity application connecting you to the game servers. Not a remote desktop application or other type of PTP connectivity service. Get your facts right.

What's HDD?


If they're reading running processes tho I'm pretty sure that's invasion of privacy

Big big trouble for them, especially since I don't see it noted anywhere in the rules or anything

Here's what I said:

"They can't read your HDD(Hard Disk Drive). The Roblox client is a connectivity application connecting you to the game servers. Not a remote desktop application or other type of PTP connectivity service. Get your facts right."

Hard Disk Drive: Main memory/storage unit on your device. If you look at your file manager, it'll show up as "C:"

Sil3nt, Like i said.
I opened skyrim to edit my friend's gold [he used an ini to deactivate the console] and then my ROBLOX background game shutdown.

Before you ask, he put the save game onto a USB stick, so it's not a coverup.

That's because Roblox made it so the CE process and RobloxPlayerBeta process aren't running at the same time, idiot. LOL!

So you are telling me that if ROBLOX is running it constantly keeps check of one number that is the CE process?

ROBLOX could easily change that into invasion of privacy by just editing the code.

They decided that instead of making C.E close, that the game would just shut down. It's better that way due to legality issues.

Incomplete- I don't remember them ASKING me to let me do this. It's not even in the terms and conditions that some programs may shut down the game.

That's technically invasion of privacy right there if you think about it.
