Silly title, I know. What do you expect from a 20 year old who used to play this game religiously?

Roblox installs fine, I log in, but whatever map I try to play, it just goes to a gray screen and nothing happens. If I press anything, the game stops responding and asks if I want to close it or wait. Waiting yields the same results, just a static gray screen.

As I said before, I'm 20 years old now. Just came on to have a bit of a nostalgia trip, and there's no issue with playing on my laptop or desktop. I just thought it would be cool to play one of my favorite games from my childhood on the go. Something that little me could only dream about back then, haha.

That wasn't very good advice. There is no such thing as "non-fullscreen mode," and everything needs internet. That would just be stupid.

If no one can answer this just email it to Roblox. Also, try getting a laptop. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just that it might not have good enough processor for it. Or hard-drive whatever. If you wanna know some laptops about 200 dollars i know some.

don't worry i still play this game at 18,more for developmental purposes tho.
are you on stock android? sometimes,using certain kernels can crash apps like that. i.e. leankernel for note 3 made steam crash for me.

Hey Pelailija1, I don't know if you realized, but I said in my post that I *used* to play this game religiously. I guess you can't read or something. It's either that or you're just an insufferable idiot. Either way, you should really think a bit harder before trying to insult someone. Nobody likes a condescending idiot.

Durpflip, I am on stock but I rooted it yesterday. No custom kernel either, just unlocked bootloader and rooted.

I don't even care that this is a double post. I have to declare that everyone besides Durpflip in this thread is a moron who can't read.

Don't reply to a thread if you aren't going to read the whole thing. People like you are literally the reason I quit ROBLOX years ago.

ROBLOX is not meant to be played using the Nvidia SHIELD. That's why it may not work.

You can only dream. Maybe ROBLOX + Nvidia SHIELD will work someday.

Redflame480, I have doubts about your statement. What proves to me that ROBLOX is played on the SHIELD is that there are multiple controller configuration settings for the app that are made by other SHIELD owners. The top one has been downloaded over 700 times, in fact.

It would be highly illogical for ROBLOX to simply "not work" on the SHIELD, when it's the same as playing it on my Galaxy S5. Both are running on Android. Also, if the developers knew it didn't work on the SHIELD, then I wouldn't have been able to download it from the Play Store in the first place. It would have said it was "not supported on this device" and not give me the option to download it at all.

It doesn't seem like I will get a logical answer here. I should have known better than to come on this forum.

Hey durpflip, thanks for being the only sensible person around.

It's the portable. I got it for Christmas! I realized pretty early into December that my desktop has a high enough GTX card to do Game Stream, and I thought it would be awesome because I can play all my PC games at College! My desktop is huge and I really don't have any space for it in my dorm.

they're both the same + if you got the K1 tablet it would probably run less smoothly since it has separate GPU cores which roblox doesn't use

I got it used from Amazon, and it came with the latest update as no updates are found. I was thinking about installing a custom ROM, so I may try that. It's just so strange that it doesn't work out of the box.

The SHIELD tablet imo defeats the purpose of the SHIELD. Why would you want to carry around a tablet with a controller when you can get the portable which is one big piece? It's good for Game Stream I bet, but everything else, it doesn't seem logical.

Such a shame that they discontinued the portable. I thought it was a great idea ever since it came out. Sure it's big and bulky, but the clam shell design accounts for that.

it's a genius idea,yeah.
afaik they're making a second revision.
like i said though,try installing third party kernels/ROMs,also you should probably back up the gamepad mapper app via file explorer since there's no legal way of making it a built-in option for AOSP

all that i know is that the shield portable is more than powerful enough even now to run this game full graphics.
