It can be frustrating if you’ve logged into the app after a long day of studying or work, but Roblox keeps crashing on your PC or Android device/iPhone/iPad. You won’t be able to load up your favorite game because the app just won’t launch properly. Whether it’s happening randomly or after an update – there can be multiple reasons why you are facing constant Roblox crashes your PC or Mobile and we will look into all possible causes and fixes in this guide.
Why does Roblox Keep Crashing?
Go through all the questions to narrow down the real reason why the app is crashing frequently on your device.
It could be your Antivirus or Firewall
If your antivirus or Windows Firewall is interfering or blocking the launch of the app, it will keep crashing until you disable them temporarily or whitelist Roblox for future use.
It could be a Third Party Software
If your antivirus is not the problem, do check if you are using a third party software that’s creating the interference. Players who have recently installed such a software need to uninstall it, launch Roblox again and check if the error persists.
It could be your Discord Overlay
One of the reasons why Roblox keeps crashing is the Discord overlay. Turn it off by following these steps and check if the app stops crashing after that.

- PC/Windows:
- Roblox will install on Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, or Windows 10. For Windows 8/8.1 you will need to run Roblox in Desktop Mode, as Metro Mode (the tiled start-screen) is not currently supported. Note: The Roblox website supports the following browsers for PC/Windows: Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
- Currently supported Mobile devices:
- Apple iOS: iPad 2 or higher, iPhone 4s or higher, and iPod touch 5th Generation. iOS 9 or greater is required.
- Android: The Roblox application supports Android OS 5.0 and higher. Note: On June 16th, 2021, Roblox will no longer support Android 4.4. The new minimum version required will be Android 5.0.
- Amazon Fire OS: Kindle Fire HDX 7 (3rd Gen), Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (3rd Gen), Fire HDX 8.9 (4th Gen), Fire HD 6 & 7 (4th Gen), Fire HD 8 & 10 (5th Gen), and Fire (5th Gen) except: Amazon Fire HD 2013
