Bloxstrap v2.2.0
Wait, didn't I say v2.2.0 would be ready in a few weeks? Yeah, I did. Here's another hotfix release thanks to Roblox unexpectedly rolling out 64-bit support and the Hyperion anticheat. v2.2.0 was supposed to be a more-complete feature update, but it was just easier for me to do the fixes on the in-progress 2.2.0 branch for this as it already had some stuff that was needed. You're basically getting the unfinished state of the update in addition to the critical fixes.
Important fixes:
- On the 64-bit/Hyperion channel, Bloxstrap no longer trips Hyperion, which was causing Roblox to crash one minute after launch.
- If you're using ReShade, you'll now be forced to use 32-bit Roblox. ReShade is currently on its knees and is on the verge of dying, so enjoy it while you can.
- rbxfpsunlocker has been removed completely, being replaced in favour of a FastFlag mod preset that works and does the same thing. (enabled by default too!)
v2.2.0 updates:
- In the menu's appearance tab, icon type is automatically changed to 'Custom' when selecting a custom icon location. (#109)
- In the menu's installation tab, you can now enter any custom channel name. (#132)
- More FastFlag mod presets have been added, for beta in-game menus and enabling the full graphics slider.
- All FastFlag values are now written strictly as strings.
- Bloxstrap's behaviour when launching Roblox is now closer to the official Roblox bootstrapper.
- Exception handling has been improved.
Yep, that's all there is. v2.3.0 will complete this two-part update, but for now here's this.
I'd like to note that if you want to opt out of the 64-bit A/B test but you have ReShade disabled, you'll end up being automatically re-opted into it if Roblox has enrolled you in it. Go to the Behaviour tab and enable "Prompt on automatic channel change" to ensure you stay on a 32-bit channel.
Bloxstrap v2.1.1
This is just a quick hotfix I'm making to fix a bunch of critical issues that needed to be released as soon as possible.
- Roblox is fresh reinstalled if the player executable doesn't exist. Not critical, but it's just better to get this out now as it was fairly common. (#128)
- Added support for WebView2. As of now it's not yet released, but it will be soon. This also fixes ZIntegration as it's currently being tested there. (#131)
- Bloxstrap now checks for alternative Roblox setup domains. This is in response to a bunch of ISPs deciding to block Roblox's main setup domain today. (#134)
More features and improvements are coming in 2.2.0, which should be ready in a few weeks, but here's this for now.
Bloxstrap v2.1.0
Adding some new features, fixing some bugs, all that fun stuff.
- Added extra bootstrapper customization - custom icon selection (#94) and header text changing (#95)
- Added FastFlag mod presets for selecting the rendering mode and enabling exclusive fullscreen (#98)
- Added the option to disable fullscreen optimizations (#98)
- Added the option to see the location of the server you're currently connected to whenever you join a game
- Added better support for multi-Bloxstrap instance handling (e.g. if you have multiple instances launching, they all run synchronously now)
- The menu can now be opened while Roblox is running (keep in mind not all your changes will immediately apply)
- Rich Presence game details are now more accurate, using universe info instead of place info
- Fixed title bar colors showing on Windows 11 (#92)
- Fixed problems with multi-game instance launching being unreliable (#99)
- Fixed Bloxstrap not closing when launching 'Play Roblox' shortcut with desktop app disabled (#103)
- Fixed problems with game detection when joining a UDMUX protected server (#105)
- Fixed Rich Presence 'Join' button not actually joining the server the person is in
- Fixed launch modal not closing when launching from the Roblox website (#106)
- Fixed Extravi's ReShade presets for ReShade 5.7.0. If you haven't noticed, it's actually been broken for like the past two weeks. It's fixed now. Sorry about that. (thanks @Extravi for helping me fix it!)
If you're here because you clicked that notification that appeared in the bottom right corner of your screen when launching Roblox, there's no need to download anything as you've already automatically updated to this version. I know, unreal, right?
