Help and Feedback Scripting Support
So for people who didn’t know, recently there’s is a Shiftlock bug where you are stuck in Shiftlock even if you didn’t enable it (and no I’m not talking about games that force you to use Shiftlock) ————————————————————————————————————
 Reproduction Steps Enter playtest mode, enable and enter shift / mouse lock using a shift key, and then close test mode with it still enabled. Now, any future tests in playtest mode will be stuck in shift / mouse lock mode. I use Shift + F5 to exit test mode, but I’m not sure if this causing the problem. Expected Behavior Ideally, shift lock would not persist across testing sessions. Shift lock should reset upon stopping the playtest and should not be stuck during playtests. Actual Behav… Also here is a way to reproduce the bug in any roblox game :
I hope this gets fixed soon as it’s affecting one of my games that requires Shiftlock to be disabled. Here’s a way I was able to reproduce the bug in a random roblox game : Join any game Go into First Person Leave while still in first person Join any game again and your stuck in Shiftlock Video example ———————————————————————————————————— But anyways being stuck in Shiftlock is not helpful especially for mobile players who don’t have access to a Shiftlock button, this has been a problem for one of my games. You see this game of mine uses a top down camera view, there is a Dash Button which when pressed makes your character dash in the direction your facing. (Example of game) //devforum-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/4X/6/b/3/6b3ae1f795b0507500ba22292ee5007244701878.MOV The problem with having Shiftlock is that it makes your character always face up, which means you can only dash up. (Example of using Shiftlock) //devforum-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/4X/3/c/2/3c2fba73d8d6c5f1df1b2496167c4b0953c31732.MOV My simple solution since day 1, was to disable Shiftlock, and it worked. This has led to many players complaining that my game is broken, although I’ve put in the description of my game explaining the bug, some people just don’t see it / don’t read / it’s not their language etc, which makes it hard for people to play with this bug So until Roblox has fixed this bug does anybody know a temporary solution to fix this?
Just found out that if you have the Shiftlock bug and you join a specific game like tower of hell it gets fixed but I still don’t get how to fix it xd 1 Like
Welp I guess I’ll just wait until roblox fixes it
This problem seems to affect all games. I was playing games like Raise a Floppa 2 and Bedwars while this occurred quite a lot. Definitely a Roblox Bug that needs to be looked at. 1 Like
This issue, still exists and is really making me upset. I really wish roblox would take a look at this.
I dont think its gonna be fixed anytime soon, ive all ready made a work around for my game. Your best bet is to make your game work with the bug
No that’s a stupid suggestion. Never make your game work with a bug, because one day that bug will be fixed and your game will be broken. Make your game as normal and keep up to date with news relating to the bug so you can find any workarounds, fixes, or if it has been solved in an update.
It works with and without the bug
Description Background This has been a bug ever since I installed it, but I could not post on the DevForum at the time. This happens in all Roblox games, not just a select amount. I’ve tried everything from reinstalling the app to wiping my entire Chromebook. Steps to reproduce:
While I realize there are most likely not a ton of people who play on Chromebook seeing as there isn’t a ton you can do, it’d be nice to see this fixed. 95 Likes
Don’t want to bump it but it needs to be done. Still to this day this issue is happening. My device is not being recognised as a mobile device, because I am getting the 10-slot inventory, however, not getting the following:
I can create a whole list of things wrong/that don’t work on chromebooks, if you’d like me to do this. 33 Likes
I am also having this issue. The black cursor appears fine when hovering over GuiButtons, but the white cursor does not appear at all, so there’s no way to know where my cursor is on screen until I open the ESC menu, or hover over a GuiButton. It’d be nice to have touchpad gestures added too, as Chromebooks (well, mine anyway) do not have a right mouse button. 16 Likes
Update, the shift lock switch STILL does not enable shift-lock. Getting pretty annoyed with this. Nothing has changed. Thanks for the support by the way! 22 Likes
The Reason Why I believe this happens because You downloaded it off the Google Play store It is still considered a mobile app since the Play Store is meant for mobile apps. If this is in your game you can add a button or another key that will register to activate the shift lock if you don’t know how to do that you can view this article How To Make Touch Screen/Mobile Device Screen Shift Lock Button/How to Enable Shift lock while Clicking With Different Buttons. 3 Likes
I need this for all games, and seeing as a chromebook is mainly used as a laptop and not a keyboard, we have access to shift-lock. However, when we try to activate it, it does nothing. I’m not really interested in adding scripts in my game to make it work, but rather for it to work across the platform. 8 Likes
Ah look, another bump. Fortunately, Roblox has fixed the issue with the cursor, however, Shift Lock still doesn’t work. Games also recognise my device as a “mobile” device, not a Laptop like it is. They made it so that we can toggle shift-lock in our game settings, however, whenever I toggle it on, nothing happened. I found a quick patch for Chromebook users that want their device to be recognised as a Laptop, not mobile. While you’re in the loading screen of a game, spam random letters, space bar and move your cursor around alot. This way, it will think you’re not on mobile, for whatever reason. Now, you can play the game as it is intended, not with the view mobile players get. All I am asking is for someone at roblox to see this and find a patch. Thank you very much. 9 Likes
The reason this happens is chrome books cannot download exe files. The Chromebook is considered a mobile device because you have downloaded it off the play store. Sorry that is a problem. I believe it should be looked into making a different solution so chrome OS users can play the full version of Roblox. 8 Likes
I don’t want to revive this topic but it still really needs to be fixed. I can’t play so well in some games and when I want to use shift lock it won’t work. I really hate that this is happening. 7 Likes
Weird that Chromebooks don’t have priority for the engineers. I think that there is a simple solution to fix this: treat the OS of Chromebooks (Chrome OS) like it is Windows or Mac OS. Please fix this issue, many others have trouble with this bug. 3 Likes
Why is it like this for me?
You cannot use the web browser, you have to be on an android device (obviously) and open up the app.
Chrome OS uses android therefore it has to be installed via the google play store. Nothing else 1 Like
That would be writing new code though. It’s easier to build in keyboard support for android & iOS than it would be to make a whole new client for chromebooks. Chromebooks are built on the Android kernel, which makes it more like android than linux. They could write linux support, but that’s a whole other situation, still coding a new app. 1 Like
