@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.

@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.

@notxsync So you are clicking on something in a external app that opens a page in Opera? Or should open at least.

Try the test standalone installation as mentioned here.

@burnout426 I did it, fresh browser even though ive tried on every other one. Still says the same thing. "Open URL:ROBLOX PROTOCOL"

So the problems for sure in my pc.

@notxsync We can check your registry keys:

Install Notepad++. In it, goto settings -> Language and under Tab Settings, make sure "[Default]" has the tab size set to 4 and make sure "Replace by space" is checked. Then, for "registry", make sure "Use default value" is checked.

Then in Windows, hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type regedit and press enter to launch the registry editor.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox" in the left-hand pane, choose "export" and save it as roblox.reg.

Then, right-click on that reg file and choose "Edit with Notepad++". One loaded, hit ctrl + a to select everything, hit the tab key to indent the whole selection by 4 spaces, hit ctrl + c to copy the selection and paste it here in a reply. Then, close the reg file in Notepad++ without saving your changes.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-player" and export it as robloxplayer.reg.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-studio" and export it as robloxstudio.reg.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ROBLOX Corporation" and export that as robloxcorp.reg

Then, do the indentation for those 3 reg files too and paste them here.

Then in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications", right-click on roblox-player in the right-hand pane, choose "modify", then select and copy the value data and paste it here indented by 4 spaces. Then, click cancel in the modify dialog.
