The Roblox crashing on startup error is affecting many players who now see a white screen when they try starting the game on PC, iPhone, and Android. Sometimes the Roblox client will crash, or the game will stop running just a few minutes after launching. Other times, Roblox will freeze for several seconds before an error prompt reading, “The application encountered an unrecoverable error,” comes up. Whatever the case, here are some fixes and solutions you can try to fix Roblox crashing.
How to fix Roblox crashing on startup
Here are some ways to fix Roblox crashing on startup and to prevent freezing and the white screen:
- Wait for Roblox to fix the client – This one is important, especially now since Roblox is starting to include Byfron anti-cheat software to stop players from using exploits and other software. This can mean that a lot of errors and crashes will happen, no matter what you do.
- Remove Byron anti-cheat – If you think the Byfron anti-cheat is the reason for Roblox crashing, you can uninstall the Byfron update patch. That said, Roblox may require that you install Byfron in the future, so uninstalling it is just a temporary fix.
- Play Roblox on Microsoft App Store – If Roblox is crashing through the browser, you may be able to download and play the game through the Microsoft App Store instead. This is a temporary solution until the developers fix the errors, because Roblox on this platform lacks voice chat and other features.
- Update graphics drivers – As usual, check the latest drivers for your GPU and see if there are any updates or patches to prevent crashing and freezing.
Other errors that you might encounter is Roblox Error 264, or the “Same account launched experience” message.
