luau VS rbxfpsunlocker

As far as I can tell, they aren't.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes

There is a lot of information there, but it doesn't handle resource exhaustion, execution time limits or give any guarantees. It does indicate that it's possible, and has a decent example of the most restrictive setup, which is a good start. But I would for example compare it with Luau's SECURITY.md.

From https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/blob/master/SECURITY.md:

> Luau provides a safe sandbox that scripts can not escape from, short of vulnerabilities in custom C functions exposed by the host. This includes the virtual machine and builtin libraries. Notably this currently does not include the work-in-progress native code generation facilities.

> Any source code can not result in memory safety errors or crashes during its compilation or execution. Violations of memory safety are considered vulnerabilities.

> Note that Luau does not provide termination guarantees - some code may exhaust CPU or RAM resources on the system during compilation or execution.

So, even luau will have trouble with untrusted code, but it specifies exactly what happens and so on. I think that's fair enough.

Alternatively, Luau is a well-supported Lua variant with type checking and performance improvements, aimed more towards being a sandboxed embedded scripting environment.

If you need Lua but also type-safety, how about Luau [1] then?

I had the pleasure of working with Lua 5.1 back in the late noughties. For me it's replaced Tcl whenever I want something I can configure above a C library. At the time I used it I found it quite nice but I'll also not forget the hours I wasted tracking down nil table corruptions which could have easily been caught by a type checker.

I had some hope that Luau https://luau-lang.org or Teal https://github.com/teal-language/tl would make things better but with the following example

    function foo(x: number): string

Looking at other replies here, I can see I wasn't the only one who didn't realize there is Lua and Luau. Luau is an extension of Lua: https://luau-lang.org/

> Luau is syntactically backwards-compatible with Lua 5.1 (code that is valid Lua 5.1 is also valid Luau); however, we have extended the language with a set of syntactical features that make the language more familiar and ergonomic.

Lua is usually the embedded language of choice. If you are focused on security, you could check out the Roblox fork, Luau (https://github.com/Roblox/luau) where the creators took extra care to lock down the language on what scripts could do.

Luau - Lua variant by Roblox

On a side note, I've heard that they recently switched from Lua to Roblox's own fork of Lua, Luau.

Roblox wrote a superset of Roblox Lua which is way faster

This is untrue. if you use rbx fps unlocker, make sure to use the flags file method. This method is, from knowledge from the github’s page, “completely noninvasive”. You can read the full details here The problem is when you use the method called memory write, which is the older/traditional unlocking method. Hyperion doesnt like this method. Roblox does not intend to ban you for unlocking your fps. This post is misinformation. Please research more about said topic, especially referring to bans, before posting what is essentially bait.

one way is by using an fps unlocker

Try updating your drivers, updating to windows 11 (10 is ending soon) and maybe try getting a fps unlocker and cap it to 120 or something so when you do get frame drops, the frame drops are less bad.

Yea, you deleted a file that you NEED to play roblox with, you'll need to delete and reinstall the roblox player again. Might I suggest you get this fps unlocker instead? It doesn't require you to do much as far as I'm aware, but may be a little slower. https://github.com/axstin/rbxfpsunlocker/releases If you're unsure how to download this one, here's a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgaMBjqzXO4

I believe this fps unlocker has those features https://github.com/axstin/rbxfpsunlocker I'm not 100% sure if it's bad with shaders.

the best you can do is to download the roblox fps unlocker https://github.com/axstin/rbxfpsunlocker/releases
