I tried running a 2nd instance of Roblox simultaneously on macos 15 with another account but this shows up, if my mac can handle it then why can’t it just let me do it? If I have two copies of an app like Roblox in separate User/Applications folders, macos moves them to the /Applications/ folder.
Sometimes it won’t run apps claiming to be corrupted, so I then have to do sudo xattr -cr /Applications/someapp.app in the terminal and they run perfectly fine. It always nags me if I download apps from anywhere but mac app store. Some of these messages can only be gotten rid of by disabling system integrity protection, but then macos blocks you from running MAS apps due to having “permissive security”.
I don’t daily drive macOS anymore, I switched to Linux on my M1 mac where I can do whatever the hell I want.
You shouldn’t play Roblox.
Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.
Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”
Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.
Old, but still relevant:
Nope this is untrue
NGL that smiley face from Finder looks so condescending lmao. My wife’s laptop is a Mac and it’s hilarious every time how it shows up so often. Like Clippy from Word lol.
I don’t daily drive macOS anymore
there’s no way a roblox kid is claiming to “daily drive” anything lol
Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.
Get off my laaawn
I love when I try to open a file and macOS tells me I can’t because can’t tell if it’s safe. There’s literally no way to open it from here.
You have to hit ok, then go so settings, scroll down to security, and hit a button to specify yes I actually want to open this file. It then reprompts you again but now with an open anyway button.
I love my MacBook’s hardware and battery life, but MacOS is such a letdown.
Try right clicking on the file and selecting Open from the menu
this works in 95% of cases, try this before you go all the way into settings! most annoying part of mac is this stuff
You used to be able to hold alt and right click and choose open.
Windows will not allow me to attach a file to an email because it is opened in Word 🤷
Mac OS sucks but this is a Roblox problem not a Mac OS problem. Btw they recently blocked linux on Roblox so good luck playing that.
That isn’t a Mac error message. It’s Roblox giving you that error.
I’m curious about your experience with a M1 Mac on Linux. Are you using Asahi Linux then?
I to want answers, I thought m1 had security limits to install Linux or any other os.
NGL I think whatever you’re trying to do is either a limitation of the Roblox install or something else that isn’t specifically an OS X issue. The file permission stuff sounds weird and I’d reevaluate what you’re trying to do and if the approach is correct, especially if you’re going to have to turn off operating system security features to get it to work.

Can you play Roblox? I thought they blocked it on Linux.
Why would they do that?
All the 8 year old hackers running linux were toppling their child labor industry
I am more suprised that they managed to use linux to cheat.
They created a new anticheat for the PC version which broke Linux support
Has that broken sober too?
The newest one broke sober for a while but it works now.
Has that broken sober?
My understanding is that Roblox requires changes to the kernel to lock it down in order to prevent script kiddies from cheating. Linux makes that very difficult to impossible, so they abandoned/never supported the platform.
Jeez. Sounds like Roblox is horribly designed if the only way they can secure their servers is through client side measures.
Sounds like pretty much every multiplayer game with Anti-Cheat is horribly designed in that case…
Anti-Cheat software seems to be the last hurdle preventing widespread compatibility with Linux. Even when there is a linux version of an anti-cheat (BattleEye has a Linux version I believe) companies don’t use that and still restrict their game to windows. Looking at you ubisoft and rainbow six siege
Sober lets you play Roblox on Linux
What OS are you running?
OP said it was Mac OS 15.
No they swapped to Linux. Which Linux distro
