Some players report that a memory dump error occurs when they try to play Roblox games. For instance, this is how one player reported that error, “Roblox won’t launch (memory dump error)… I’ve been trying to figure this out for ages.” The error message says, “The application encountered an unrecoverable error – Click ‘OK’ to create a memory dump.” This is how you can fix the Roblox memory dump error on Windows PCs.
Delete the Roblox Data Folder
Corrupted cache and temporary file data are a potential cause for the Roblox memory dump error. To address that possible cause, try deleting the Roblox data folder. You can erase that folder as follows:
- Start Run by pressing the Windows logo + R key combination.
- Type in %localappdata% and click OK.
The Delete option in File Explorer
- Right-click Roblox and select Delete.
Select Compatibility Options for Roblox
Selecting (enabling) compatibility options for Roblox is another potential fix for the memory dump issue. Applying this possible solution can address Windows security and display conflicts, and will also ensure the game has the necessary permissions. So, try selecting three compatibility options for Roblox as follows:
- Right-click your Roblox Player desktop shortcut to select Properties and Compatibility.
- First, select Run this program in compatibility mode and Windows 8 from the drop-down menu for that setting.
The Compatibility tab
- Next, select Run this program as administrator to enable Roblox admin rights.
- Finally, select Disable full-screen optimizations by clicking on that setting’s checkbox.
- Save the options selected by clicking Apply > OK.
Turn Off Memory Integrity
Players have confirmed that turning off Memory Integrity can fix the Roblox memory dump error. However, note that permanently disabling that feature will leave your PC more exposed to malware. These are the steps for disabling Memory Integrity:
- First, double-click the shield icon inside the system tray area of the Windows taskbar.
- Next, click Device Security > Core isolation details to reach the Memory Integrity option.
The Memory integrity setting
- Click the Memory Integrity toggle switch to turn off that option.
Disable Third-Party Antivirus
Some third-party antivirus software can cause the Roblox memory dump error by conflicting with the game or certain Windows security features. Is there a third-party antivirus package installed on your PC? If so, right-click its icon in the system tray and select a context menu option for disabling its shield before starting Roblox.
Update Your Graphical GPU Driver
A few players also confirm that updating graphics drivers for GPUs can resolve the Roblox memory dump error on Windows PCs. The best way to do that is to manually download the latest driver package for your PC’s GPU. However, you can also utilize AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel tools for updating graphical drivers. Our guide for updating GPU drivers provides more detailed instructions for how to apply this possible fix.
