I've been trying to do something in a game for a few days now that requires a newer server because hackers keep messing up the main quest objective, and VERY recently discovered this extension (like, half an hour ago, tops).

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm excited to use it so I can get this thing over with, but there's one tiny problem: when used on a Chromebook, rather than opening the Play Store app, it attempts to open the Windows app (which doesn't exist, since I'm on a Chromebook) and gives a pop up to download the Windows version of the game.
I also tried using the share links, but those link to Fishstrap rather than the actual game, and Fishstrap is also Windows-exclusive, meaning those links don't work.

If there's any workaround for this, please enlighten me

i dunno if your chromebook supports it but if i remember right you should be able to enable linux then install flatpak and then sober

#

though if your chromebook is arm it won't work
but i dont know if they commonly are or not

Rovalra uses the official Roblox launching protocol so I don’t think I can do anything about this

unfortunate but fair enough

#

im assuming if you press play on the browser normally without any extension it will do the same right?

acoustic light Jan 22, 2026, 2:09 PM

#

i
didn't try that, actually

#

I was so focused on joining the server that I didn't try to just join normally 😭

#

I'm just confused since I'm fairly sure this wasn't a problem until RoValra was put into the mix

#

...wait normal play works

#

wtf

#

if I press THIS buttton, it opens Google Play Roblox

#

if i press THIS button, though,

#

I get this

I didnt know roblox did it differently for chrome books

#

i just dont know how exactly i would test if i port it

#

or fix it i mean

#

warm mango I didnt know roblox did it differently for chrome books

I didn't either until now

#

I thought it was the same protocol but the part that actually opens the app is based on your platform

#

warm mango i just dont know how exactly i would test if i port it

I mean.. I'm here for testing if you want

#

you're right tho I have no clue how we'd go about fixing it 😭

#

it's really not a huge deal though I can probably find some workaound by like taking the fishstrap link and converting it to a roblox one or something

#

so don't sweat it too much or anything!

#

you have like 1 chromebook player and i'm sure you have higher priorities :p so i'm not gonna take offense or anything if this doesn't get added
