@notxsync Title is not part of the post and this topic title means nothing.

What is the protocol?

If you enter roblox://test in the address field and press enter, Opera is not asking you if you want to launch the URL in the Roblox Game Client? Or, are you saying that Opera does ask you, but when you choose to, Roblox doesn't open?

@notxsync In that dialog where it asks, does it mention "Roblox Game Client" anywhere?

Also, hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type cmd and press enter to open a command prompt. Then, in the command prompt, type:

start "test" "roblox://test"

Does that cause Roblox to start up or no?

@notxsync How the link you are trying to open starts? It's a regular https:// one? It's something like roblox://?

@burnout426 Nope i will add the attachment of what it says.

its not suposed to say Roblox protocol like that i dont think.

when i put start "test" "roblox://test" in cmd, it does open roblox. but i need it to open
through the browser, thats the issue

@notxsync For that dialog to show up, you click where? It's a link? If so, what is that link?

@notxsync So, you're just going to https://www.roblox.com/games/2788229376/1M-CODE-Da-Hood and clicking the green button with the white play symbol?

This is what I get in Opera GX 105.0.4970.74 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2:

and clicking "Open Roblox Game Client" launches Roblox.

So, yeah, something might be off with your setup.

Even if things work fine in other browsers, I would uninstall Roblox and reinstall it and try and fix the protocol association.

You could also test to see what a test standalone installation of Opera GX does. That will tell you if it's something on your system or something with your regular Opera GX.

So, it looks like clicking the button on the page launches a roblox-player URL liks this:

roblox-player:1+launchmode:play+gameinfo:hugeidforgame+launchtime:timestamp+placelauncherurl:theurl+browsertrackerid:id+robloxLocale:code+gameLocale:code+channel:+LuanchExpInApp

that is handled by the command at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-player\shell\open\command" in the Windows registry.

So:

start "test" "roblox-player:test"

needs to launch Roblox too.

Perhaps it's the roblox-player protocol association that's not quite right. I would hope that uninstalling and reinstalling Roblox would fix it.

But, the command in that registry key for me is:

"C:\Users\yourusernamehere\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-48a28da848b7420d\RobloxPlayerBeta.exe" %1

for what it's worth.

@burnout426 yeah ive tried uninstalling and ive also tried on other browsers so it has to be something wrong in my settings. its supposed to say what yours says. "Open Roblox Game Client" it has to be something in my default apps section
