[BUG] "Server Location" notifications don't show when Roblox is launched in fullscreen
Acknowledgement of preliminary instructions
- [X] I have read the preliminary instructions, and I am certain that my problem has not already been addressed.
What problem did you encounter?
As is documented already, Windows automatically enables Do Not Disturb when a fullscreen application is focused, suppressing any notifications that are sent. I believe this can be worked around without any adverse side effects in Windows 11 by adding Bloxstrap to Settings > System > Notifications > set priority notifications but I'm not 100% sure, I was hoping someone else could confirm?
I'm unsure whether the same setting exists in Windows 10, or what the equivalent would be.
I found that this works for me:
Join a game with Bloxstrap first, and keep it open. Open Windows Settings, go to System -> Focus assist -> Customize your priority list -> Add an app, and choose Bloxstrap.
From there, it should work. Let me know if it works for you, and I might consider adding this info to the Wiki.
I don't have a Windows 10 machine to test, but on my Windows 11 machine I open Windows Settings (not sure if Bloxstrap has to be open at the time), go to System -> Notifications -> Set priority notifications -> add apps and select Bloxstrap.
From what I'm reading, Microsoft decided they had to be different and call what is now "Do Not Disturb" in Windows 11 "Focus assist" in Windows 10.
EDIT: so basically - Yes, but the instructions are slightly different depending on if you are running Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Mine doesn't show up as an available app for focus assist or notification settings at all. I've tried googling and i cant find a solution

Roblox needs to stay running while you're adding it, make sure of that.
i still cant add it as an app even with both bloxstrap and roblox running
That's strange, can you show the available app list while Roblox is running?

And you do see the Bloxstrap icon in the bottom-right of the taskbar, right?

Yep of course
Real strange, I would've thought that would work. Are you actually seeing any notifications from Bloxstrap though? (not being in full screen, no focus assist, etc)

Nope, no notifications from bloxstrap at all

Yep, it is definitely trying to show notifications. That's so bizarre, I'm not entirely sure why that wouldn't be working.

Well that's odd, maybe i should try redownloading?
any solutions to this been found yet for windows 10 or is it still being worked on?
Does your screen go black before showing Roblox? @DrymarchonShaun @CapitalDee

I don't have a Windows PC to test with ATM but no, I don't think so.
If it was, it would probably have been Exclusive Fullscreen. EFS (that’s how I’m abbreviating it) makes the application capture directly to the monitor (W/o going through DWM) so stuff like Windows notifications most likely wouldn’t appear.
Hi guys, mine had gotten fixed a while back. It ended up just fixing it self from what I recall I had just uninstalled it and reinstalled it a numerous amount of times and it eventually just worked. Have yet to encounter any issues with it since
@ShadowCodeX-debug just got time to try it and my screen doesnt go black
