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

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

@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.

@burnout426 I don't understand, what do you mean by indented? I might as well just send the whole file here.

I don't have enough permission?

@notxsync Yeah, if you want to zip up all the reg files, upload the the zip file somewhere and link to the zip file here, that will be fine too.

To post code here on the forums, you can indent each line by 4 spaces (add 4 spaces to the beginning of each line). Was just giving you a way to indent all lines in each file at once with Notepad++. If uploading the files and linking to them is easier, that's fine. Whatever what you want.

@burnout426 Sent. Can you fix it for me and send it back? Or will you inspect it to see if anything is wrong?
