Hey there, I'm having trouble where every time I click play on a game, a window pops up. "You're moments away from getting into the game! Download and install ROBLOX". When I click download,the instructions come up and I follow the steps but when I install it tells me its installed and then I click play on the game again, an info-bar pops up at the bottom saying "Check Remember my choice and click Launch application in the dialog box above to join games faster in the future!" But there's no dialog box (External Protocol Request) that appears. When I just go onto another game to click play, it tells me yet again to install the launcher again as it did before. But when I try to install it again, (I think) it just assumes I already have it installed so it pops up a new chrome tab redirecting to the ROBLOX Games window.
I have tried:
Closing all google chrome browsers and uninstalling Roblox. Then I open up the roblox website and go into any game to reinstall the game launcher but it just does the same thing where it says its installed and when I click play, there's no dialog box (External Protocol Request) that appears.
I have also tried:
Going into "chrome://plugins" at the chrome address bar and enabling the roblox launcher plugin to "Always allowed" but it yields no results.
Maybe I might have something disabled to not receive any External Protocol Requests? Sorry its late over here and I'm really tired so I'm sorry if I'm missing something really obvious but if you could just point me in the right direction then I would appreciate it heaps. :o
Helpful feedback is appreciated. Thanks :> |

Hey xOdyssey,
What operating system are you using? Also, have you tried launching from a different browser?
Also, I think you can disable protocol requests. Can you check this setting?
1. Click the Chrome menu (three horizontal lines) on the browser toolbar. 2. Select Settings > Show advanced settings. 3. In the "Privacy" section, click Content settings. 4. In the dialog that appears, find the “Handlers” section: 5. To allow requests, select “Allow sites to ask to become default handlers for protocol".
Disabling them did not prevent the Roblox protocol request dialog from opening for me, but it's worth checking. |

Thanks for the reply, I'm using windows 8.1 and no I haven't tried launching it in a different browser but if the problem doesn't resolve itself then I might start playing roblox in mozilla firefox.
I already have that enabled to "Allow sites to ask" etc. but maybe it could be an extension? I'm going to try disabling all the extensions now and I'll come back with the results |

| At first I thought your browser might be unsupported, but then I heard Google Chrome, They did get a new launcher, but I didn't have these struggles and I use Windows 8.1 and Google Chrome. I find that strange. |

Oh okay, I just updated chrome as I said before but then I reset my settings and now I can play games again. Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.
I'm sorry for being so dumb, I thought chrome would of updated automatically but I think you need the sign in playstore in order for that to happen or something.
Thanks for the help again guys and sorry. As I said before, I'm really tired so aha

| My problem is that my other browsers are slow and have too many pop-ups. Do you know how to fix this without a new browser? |
