Developer Context
This is a bug report update, not an official fix note yet.
- The post says logs were shared in a staff-only message on 2026-03-28, which helps Roblox engineers repro hard crashes
- Inference from the report: black flicker + green video hints this may involve Roblox graphics output to GPU, not just one game map
- More player reports with matching specs and dates can help devs find the root cause faster
- Players can lose rounds or streaks if the app dies on join
- Creators can lose unsaved Roblox Studio work, so save every few minutes
- If you play heavy games, lowering graphics can be a temporary safety move
- Posting exact specs and date-tested results can help confirm patterns faster
- Q: Is this confirmed as a Roblox Engine bug on 2026-03-28?
A: Not confirmed. The report says it is unclear if this is engine-side or Roblox app-side. - Q: Which setup was reported?
A: Microsoft Windows 11 + AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT + AMD driver 26.3.1. - Q: When did the crashes start in this report?
A: About 3-4 days before 2026-03-28, so around 2026-03-24 to 2026-03-25. - Q: Why do high part-count games matter here?
A: The report says crashes are more common there, likely because GPU load spikes harder in dense scenes. - Q: Should I rollback driver 26.3.1 now?
A: No official rollback guidance is in this source. If you test it, share before/after results with exact dates.
