Hi, when I try to play a game often Phantom Forces everything loads but I am like a

specator.

I already had this problem sometimes it works sometimes not.

Someone told me ist because of bad game servers but I tried it on a other older computer

and there it worked.

I reinstalled the game serveral time and the internet connection is fine.

What can I do?


Kind regards RenovatioRC

Just did a fresh install on a new/other laptop... and it seems that this is something with the update? or my internet... anyways... can anyone from the affected tell me their version? mine is version-a4781a8a67bb4885.
You can check that by rightclicking the robloxplayer shorcut found in your desktop... or look for the roblox file in local... local file can be found in User>(your Username for computer/laptop)> AppData > Local

The version-a4781a8a67bb4885 thing is the name of the file itself... You dont need to do anything complicated...

Your internet is the issue here...Don't know why this thread has gotten so far.

"Oh but raisin how does it work on my older pc and not this pc?" Probably because you're on wifi and your old computer has BANDWIDTH PRIORITY.

@Raizu
I dont know, how my internet is the issue... by allowing performance settings on by pressing esc, I can see my client sends data while i also recieve data all in the average... Further, there are no delays in chat, or in using GUIs i know this by using a specific teleportation command on a game's GUI namely Galaxy by Rcouret. So this thread progressing is, as real as it can get.

Let me add additional information on my current situation i failed to give.

Same as RenovatioRC situation, my client loads the place completely to the point the other avatars are moving smoothly with their chats in sync (tells me i am in sync with the server).

My camera, unlike RenovatioRC; is forced to be still... by still i mean, i cant interact with it, i cant Pan, Move around (using movement keys), or zoom.

I have eye witness from other people that they see my character loaded in, but my character fails to respond to my movement keys including jump.

I tried everything: reinstalling, reseting, restarting, shutting down, switching rigs, switching accounts, doing the thing with IE.

reset works, and chat has no delay for me.

P.S. i thought this thread was like the other threads i am currently handling regarding this ROBLOX wide glitch.

Go to a speed test website for me. Tell me what the speed you're getting.

Because I only had these issues when I was on WiFi until I started to pay for my own internet. Wifi can fluctuate and is affected by many of indeterminate factors.

@Raizune i made a new thread, with new info...
Briefly i can explain that when i dont use VPN while playing, my roblox client will revert in using the old version of the client instead of new version.

I can tell by the loading screen (one with rotating ROBLOX logo) is the new version, while if i dont use VPN it will revert to the older client version (one where there is no picture of the game and logo of the ROBLOX, only Game Creator's name and Title of the game)

You're telling me. 2.85 MBps is your rating? Oh dear lord. Yes, that is low insanely low. I had 6.4 MBps then, and I thought that was bad. I pay for my own internet now, I'm getting Above 65 - have no problems in terms of loading games.

***And sucessfully playing.

Having a low internet speed and being on wifi has the chance of "Packet Loss" Which if you can't tell what that means. Loss of data in a sense.

"Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is typically caused by network congestion. Packet loss is measured as a percentage of packets lost with respect to packets sent."
