[BUG] Cannot join game through website via Bloxstrap

Acknowledgement of preliminary instructions

[X] I have read the preliminary instructions, and I am certain that my problem has not already been addressed.
[X] I have thoroughly looked through the available Wiki articles and could not find a solution to my problem.
[X] I am using the latest version of Bloxstrap.
[ ] I did not answer truthfully to all the above checkboxes.

What problem did you encounter?

Upon auto-updating to the latest version of Bloxstrap (2.8.0), I can no longer directly join games through the website. Attempting to do so simply opens Bloxstrap's menu; from there, I can still select Launch Roblox, but this just brings me into the Roblox app's home (which I don't want).

Steps to reproduce:

In your browser, set roblox and roblox-player links to execute using Bloxstrap.
On any game page, click either the green play button OR the Join button on any server.
The Bloxstrap menu will open. You will not be sent into a game server.
Click Launch Roblox.
Bloxstrap will apply the modifications as normal.
The Roblox app will open to the home page. You still will not be sent into a game server.

Not unplayable, but definitely inconvenient for someone like me who absolutely detests using the app for no reason in particular.

Can you send your log file?

PeccNeck commented 8 hours ago

Can do, I've got two of them. Bloxstrap_20241016T181110Z.log - this one was generated first when the menu opened. Bloxstrap_20241016T181117Z.log - generated when I selected Launch Roblox.

Bloxstrap was launched from a website join link for these; I did not manually join a game after selecting Launch Roblox, I simply closed the window.

I'm still not entirely clear on this, can you send a video of you attempting to launch from the website?

It'll launch Bloxstrap, it'll launch the standalone Roblox application, but it won't actually join the game.

Some additional context, I'm running on a Windows 10 machine, latest version (22H2, build 19045.5011). I've been using Bloxstrap since before the 2.8.0 update; this is a new (mis)behavior that was not present before. The Windows Store version of Roblox is also installed, though I do not regularly use it and, given the differences between standalone and Windows Store executables, I don't think this would have an impact.

Can you open the Windows Registry Editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\roblox-player\shell\open\command, and show a screenshot of what the values shown there are?

Attempt a Roblox launch from the website again. Make sure you don't close it.

Then, open a PowerShell window and run this command:

Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter "name = 'Bloxstrap.exe'" | Select-Object CommandLine

Send a screenshot to me of what you see privately (email me at pizzaboxer@proton.me), let me know here when you have.

Went ahead and sent it; email made the image a bit small, might need to open it in a new tab.

It definitely looks like Bloxstrap is receiving the launch options, but... nothing happens.

This strangely seems like a Firefox issue, since it's not actually obeying the rules specified in the Registry. I'll come up with a workaround for this.

PeccNeck commented 1 hour ago

Really? That's especially strange; I've been using Firefox for a while and I've never had an issue like this with anything else, not even older versions of Bloxstrap.

Oh well.
