Every time I try to join a game I get this message which stops me even though I am only ever in desktop mode. This is obviously not meant to happen but is there any way around it or a reason for it?

You are right but, roblox works just fine. install roblox using desktop mode and then open internet explorer, or any other internet browser and go to a roblox game and it will open in desktop mode and work just fine. You CAN NOT open roblox from the windows 8 start menu or from internet explorer 10 (A.K.A Metro internet explorer)

Well, according to a reply from a Roblox moderator on one of my other posts, Windows 8 is not 100% configured for Roblox yet.

You're currently running internet explorer through the metro mode. In other words, you're running it through the start screen. Simply go to the desktop, hit internet explorer, and bam. Currently, Roblox does not support being run through the metro version of internet explorer.
