Android users are facing significant issues with Roblox as a pop-up error, "Security Threat Detected," causes the game to crash shortly after launching. This problem began appearing between 2025-11-22 and 2025-11-24, coinciding with a recent update.
Error Details Across Devices
The issue affects multiple Android brands and models, including Samsung's S24 Ultra, Google's Pixel phones, and Lenovo tablets. Users report crashes a few minutes into gameplay, hinting at a problem potentially linked to the latest Roblox app update.
Many common troubleshooting steps, such as clearing the cache, reinstalling the app, or adjusting battery settings, have not resolved the issue. The difficulties appear to stem from incompatibilities with specific Android configurations.
User Reports and Temporary Fixes
Players suspect the Hyperion anti-cheat system within Roblox might be erroneously identifying certain devices as security threats. Past issues like "error code 268" suggest that fixes may require a server-side update from Roblox—a similar problem was resolved in about two weeks previously.
Some users have found temporary relief by downgrading to an older version of Roblox, specifically version 2.697.926 from 2025-11-04, suggesting the root cause may be recent changes in the app's code. However, Roblox has not yet confirmed or publicly addressed these reports.
