As of now, Roblox is no longer playable on Windows on ARM. This is due to a recent update that added the Byfron Anticheat to Roblox UWP

Microsoft deserves some of the blame for the current state of Windows on ARM.

The company has not done enough to push developers to port their software to the platform, which has resulted in a lack of native apps. This is the biggest problem with Windows on ARM so far.

As a result of this lack of native apps, I am now unable to play Roblox on my Windows on ARM device. This is frustrating and disappointing, as I was previously able to play the game with poor performance. I am also disappointed that I purchased this Surface Pro X model, even though I was aware of its limitations beforehand.

Apple, on the other hand, has done a much better job with macOS on ARM. They have pushed developers to port their software to the platform, and they have been very successful. This has resulted in a wide range of native apps available for macOS on ARM devices.

I hope that Microsoft will take steps to address the lack of native apps on Windows on ARM. This is essential if the platform is to succeed.

I want you to fix this as soon as possible.

Respectfully, WoA users

    Well, as of today, the situation has improved slightly. The store client actually will load all the way to the login screen before it crashes. I'm not fast enough to actually type in my username and password before it crashes, but that's farther than it was getting before.

    I'm hoping the new devices with the Snapdragon X processor in them coming out will light a bit of a fire under the Roblox developers to get a native or at least a compatible (via emulation) client that works again.

    Thanks to this developer for being a driving force. Originally, I tried to post or comment about this topic on the Roblox DevForum but was unable to do so. So, I posted on the Microsoft Community instead.
