Recently formatted my Windows XP computer and downloaded ROBLOX again, it worked perfectly before I formatted it, its all downloaded, but when I play a game, it loads but doesn't bring up the game browser to actually play, and sometimes loads forever saying "ROBLOX needs to update" or something.

halp.

I said Windows XP, and windows will run, it is not supported, but obviously, it is still functional, and ROBLOX ran after the format.
I told you.

And not just me is having the problem.

As I said, windows xp is no longer supported by microsoft, and probably roblox too, therefore it may not work right.

Not long ago, Microsoft has announced that Windows XP will no longer be supported with updates and built-in softwares that require internet service. When you reformat your PC, it usually comes to the point where you are updating your Operating System (which is why Semaphorism asked about your current OS). The way you, Penwing, formatted your post is not as clear as you think it is, maybe you should reformat your writing instead.


Whilst Windows XP is no longer supported, many programs don't work on Windows XP anymore, including ROBLOX. You will need to update your operating system in order to play ROBLOX, It's recommended for any beginners who are still learning how to operate a computer.

Again, this windows xp computer worked fine before I formatted.

There is no problem with windows xp.

Yes, they do not support it anymore, but where the hell did you guys get the idea ROBLOX didn't support windows xp?

It's something with ROBLOX or just something I haven't configured.

I know its not my computer.

What you did uninstalled all the updates. This meaning Roblox won't run because it doesn't have the updates it needed. You likely won't find the updates or get them now

I said "Probably" doesn't support, windows XP has older system libraries.

And Supporting a operating system means that roblox takes the time to make sure it works.

Installing ROBLOX should obviously give me the updates to play it.

What did you upgrade windows XP to?

@Sema "windows xp is no longer supported."
I'm playing ROBLOX on windows XP right now... xD It's just that I can't play large games, or view lighting and textures...

None of you posted a suggestion to actually FIX it.

Stop talking about the problem and describe what I need to do.

How about, Windows XP is becoming outdated to Roblox. Heard it already they are focusing on the graphical side of Roblox. Meaning they will stop supporting Windows XP soon. Anyways, Like I said. The updated required to run Roblox can't be downloaded anymore considering Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP

Reinstall roblox, unplug your computer, remove the battery, put the battery back in, plug it in, and try to play roblox. Could you screenshot the error message? (if any)

@Dog

Cause training the computer of energy will help so much....

It's already not fixable. Windows XP is outdated and Roblox is slowly not supporting it update by update with the graphical changes it does
