I may be wrong, but isn't the problem MSHTML and ActiveX?

Because ROBLOX works with Microsoft.
I don't know what Microsoft gives them in return, but ROBLOX made a deal with Gates and now it's exclusively for Windows.

Lolno.

It doesn't work on Mac because it has an IE based browser. Therefore, it uses MSHTML as the Layout engine and ActiveX.

@xXMatthewXx,

ROBLOX uses a IE based browser. By default, it uses MSHTML and ActiveX, which is only available on IE (Unless you have special plugins).

BeepBoopBop, that's what the government/ROBLOX/Microsoft wants you to know. That isn't REALLY why.

If ROBLOX has a partnership with Microsoft, ROBLOX would be swimming in money, which they are not.

Mac and Windows don't have the same database.


Roblox was originally created only for windows. They are working on making it for mac.


There is a way. I don't know what this programs name is. Like windows box or something. And then you can play on that..


Also get a mac with 2 systems on it

A mac version and windows version.

You can play with windows version

Roblox doesn't work with Microsoft. Roblox's program is only written for Microsoft.

If you want ROBLOX on your Mac pc do this:

1. Buy Windows 7.

2. Create a new partion in your Mac pc.

3. Install Windows 7 on that partion.

4. Erase the mac partion.(Optional)

5. Download ROBLOX and put it on your pc and there ya go.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have trouble with the partion thing send me a message. I am happy to help. :)
