Hi, Are you seeing a new dialog when you click Play? Don't worry, this is totally normal. We're trying out a new way to launch games in Google Chrome. You can read more about it here: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/204473560-How-to-Install-and-Play-ROBLOX-Using-Google-Chrome All you need to do is check "Remember my choice for all links of this type" and click "Launch Application". Your game should launch, and you shouldn't see that dialog again.

Destructor331 - very strange. I'll look into it. In the meantime, if you use a different browser you should be able to play no problem. Post here if that doesn't fix your issue.

@CraftioLo: yes, you could always launch games from Chrome using the Roblox Player Launcher browser plug-in. We would install this into Chrome (and all of your browsers) when you installed Roblox. Unfortunately, the next version of Chrome does not support browser plug-ins, so we need to move to a new launch method.
