Roblox is played by millions of players across different platforms, including Google’s Chromebook. However, many of them experience annoying problems like crash which ultimately hampers their experience. Here’s why Roblox might keep crashing on your Chromebook and some possible fixes.
What causes Roblox to crash on a Chromebook?
Before we dive into the details, it is important to note that Chromebooks are not able to run Roblox games perfectly due to their limited processing power. Therefore, you may be able to play Roblox games that are less graphically intensive like Working at a Pizzeria, but encounter a crash issue after launching heavy games like Blox Fruits.
The most common reasons for Roblox crashing on a Chromebook are incompatible operating system version and overheating issues. Fortunately, they can easily be fixed and you can be back in action in no time.
How to fix Roblox keeps crashing on Chromebook issue
You can try the following ways to easily fix the constant crashing issue:
Close background applications
As I mentioned earlier, Chromebooks are lightweight devices designed for basic tasks like web browsing, which means they may lack the power needed to run Roblox smoothly. However, Chromebooks with lower RAM and weaker processors might struggle, causing Roblox to crash. In such a case, close unnecessary tabs and applications to free up memory. I also advise to lower the graphics settings of the Roblox games, which can also help Roblox run more smoothly.
Check for updates
Also make sure both Chrome OS and Roblox are updated to the latest versions. You can check for Chrome OS updates in the settings menu and update Roblox through the Google Play Store. If your Chromebook’s operating system or the Roblox app isn’t up to date, you’re more likely to experience crash issues.
Play in a cool environment
Gaming on any device increases the load on hardware. Chromebooks even overheat faster because they are not designed for heavy gaming. To address this, play in a well-ventilated environment and avoid placing the Chromebook on surfaces such as blankets or pillows that block ventilation. You can also check out various cooling pads in the market, but I would suggest switching to a better platform like a gaming PC or console, instead of spending money on Chromebook accessories.
