In my ‘Directx’ settings I was getting ‘direct3d not available’ messages and another setting ‘not available’. After doing all of the above I was still getting error after error. This one sucked another hour or two of my short life so hopefully this can save you the pain. You should see 3D acceleration as ‘enabled’.Try a round of Roblox? 🙂 5. And this is why I ended up doing all the steps in the ‘safe mode’ section above…Ĭheck to see if 3D acceleration is enabled by opening ‘run’ and typing ‘dxdiag’. I noticed also that in my ‘device manager’ and then ‘display adaptor’ now it’s listing ‘virtualbox graphics adapter’ which should be best since it’s grabbing host hardware.

But I was still getting driver errors on Roblox Studio…this ultimately froze the program and demanded to close program which I did. Finally it asked for a reboot and when it came back things were already working a bit better.

Then it opened a wizard on Windows and walked through the install of the guest addition stuff. To do this step it was as simple as going to ‘Devices’ and ‘install guest additions’ and walking through the steps.

When I opened Roblox Studio it was asking to upgrade to OpenGL 2.0 or higher. Before installing I was getting all sorts of video card driver errors. What ‘guest additions’ does is basically install this big package which gives you more direct and quality connections to the host machines hardware. I also had no idea about ‘Guest Additions’ somehow, so this turned out to be a good learning experience. Here is a helpful (this link helped: ) by the way B.

After machine comes back, skip ahead and do all the 2D and 3D steps in section below.

If you get this, I think you should accept it…

I have notes that said I got a message like “Accept ‘basic 3D’ but I can’t confirm.

After all, this is already a highly questionable game and enterprise… Even if they can’t be trusted it’s easier to check the box and move on.

Check the ‘direct3D support (experimental)’ checkbox.

in the ROM directory, double click ‘vboxwindowsadditions-amd64’ (assuming you are 64 architecture…) and a wizard should start.

go to ‘start’ menu then ‘my computer’ and the CD rom (in windows).

Insert Guest additions from bottom of the drop down menu.

In the Virtual box menu in guest machine window, go to the ‘Devices’ menu.

If you already tried installing guest additions in ‘unsafe mode’you might need to remove guest additions before trying again in safe mode. In either case, some of the steps / process might help you along the way so maybe worth a quick read. At least, that’s what my hours of web-searching taught me… So, you can ‘try’ the regular unsafe mode (skip ahead) or, you can do ‘safe mode’ which takes longer and is more annoying. I ‘think’ it depends on what Windows you are using as to whether you need to install guest additions in safe or ‘regular / unsafe’ mode.

This section I’m breaking into two pieces because I’m not 100% sure what’s best. This helps assure a successful install, I believe. Do the usual windows install that we used to do back when we were slaves…I just accepted all the default suggestions for setting up the box and then adjusted them later. Just start up a “new” machine and point it to your downloaded ISO above. Tip: in ubuntu software centre you need to type the whole word for it to show up easily, so ‘virtualbox’ instead of ‘virtual box’ 3. I think this is in the software centre in most Ubuntu Distros. The fact they even made it hard to download something you already paid for was additional fuel for my Windows fire… 2. iso file professional to match my windows sticker (legitimate key). So I found some random link online and downloaded windows 7. Hadn’t done this in years and windows is so lame that you have to buy their operating system (which isn’t worth paying for) and yeah. Find a windows 7 cd rom or some ISO.somewhere…somehow…Īctually this step probably took a whole day. I had an old windows 7 machine sticker on one of my ubuntu machines. The fact is, I compromised and made a concession that this setup will be only for this one box for this one purpose and that’s it. what? Serious? A goofy downloadable plugin-app-game kind of thing in 2020? But let’s move on.

They made their setup so you can play only on windows, android and maybe ios (never checked).

Therefore by deduction, I also hate Roblx. OF COURSE, FEEL FREE TO TRY IT OUT AND LEAVE COMMENTS WHILE I’M ALSO CHECKING IT! 🙂 0. NOTE ALSO THAT AS OF TODAY, EVEN IF YOU GET THIS ALL DONE YOU COULD GET THE SAME ‘KICKED BECAUSE OF WEIRD BEHAVIOUR’ MESSAGE (OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED).
