First, check if you have Adblock Plus on your "internet browser", If you have it, that's the source of the problem So apparently I found a fix for it. AdblockPlus is blocking an address called: http://redir.adap.tv/redir/javascript/adaptvAdPlayer.js It is a VERY needed thing for ROBLOX to launch and blocking it will cause it to load forever, so here's my fix: First, click the "ABP" icon (Adblock Plus) and open up Filter Preferences... (CTRL+SHIFT+F in hotkeys) After that open up "Custom filters" and add this to the Exception Rules: @@|http://redir.adap.tv/redir/javascript/adaptvAdPlayer.js --@@ is needed to "ALLOW" the certain script NO matter what. Optional: After that you MAY need to refresh the "Game link" where you are on currently, for an example, I have a link "http://www.roblox.com/Murder-Mystery-v0-4-2b-Beta-place?id=142823291" open, you need to refresh it so it would allow it to go on.

Some people have been asking "How do you add the address to the exception list?!" So here's an alternative way. An alternative way is going to a game page, for an example nikilis's murder mystery and "Open blocakble items..." and right click this link: http://redir.adap.tv/redir/javascript/adaptvAdPlayer.js and "Add exception rule for item..." And tadaa! it's in your "Exception Rules list." The reason why this post was made due to I not liking some suspicious ads entering my PC. The ads annoy me so much. So I didn't want to "entierly disable the page".

I don't have ABP running, could it be a problem with Java?

I know an another reason why it didn't work. Look, exactly the "ONLY LINK" wasn't the only one. There's a different link you must find, I cannot post it's full name cause ROBLOX's filters. http://anvil.rubiconproject.com/a/api Allow that too. Then it should work. It also has to do with ROBLOX.

OH AND DO NOT FALL FOR RUBICON. IT WAS AN EXTREMLY BAD MISTAKE! IT IS AN AD OF SOME KIND. Heh, strange. You should have blockable items. Try going to a certain address or you might have something in your "Search: " bar. I also found a next reason. swfloader. Add this in Exception Rules: @@||redir.adap.tv/redir/client/swfloader.swf?id=*

So... You guys might be wondering what my exception list looks like. I updated it to work with all redir.adap.tv links. http://puu.sh/84NdK.png

I've checked ABP (apparently I did have it downloaded, but hid the the icon from my browser's top bar. Where do I find the "exception rules" section? I can't seem to find it.

I have the same thing, keep adding more @@ codes and il add them to this list, if it doesn't work, the Open blockable items tab has like ROblox adresses with pictures of buttons etc. thats all i have there basically.

Huh, sorry for so many posts but I MADE A WORKING EXCEPTION LIST! http://puu.sh/84Nz8.png please note puu.sh links are not a scam, they have a "defined file name" in the end Oh and the last reply, I have no idea. I haven't clicked away my ABP button. Try using the ABP forums.
