Allowlist limits the number of locally configurable Fast Flags to those explicitly listed.
Hi Creators,
To improve platform security and stability for everyonewe’re introducing a change to how local Fast Flag overrides work. Fast Flags is a beloved but also often misused feature of the Roblox clientis increasingly a contributing factor to cheating and abuseand in some cases can destabilize the client to the point that a client re-installation is required.
To combat the misuse of the Fast Flag systemwe are introducing a new mechanism called the Fast Flag Allowlist (see below). This Allowlist will limit the number of locally configurable Fast Flags to only those explicitly listed.
What’s changing?
The Fast Flag Allowlist is a new system that limits which Fast Flags you can configure locally in your ClientAppSettings.on file.
-
How it works: Only flags included on our official allowlist will be recognized by the client. Any Fast Flag you try to set that isn’t on the list will simply be ignored and will not have an effect.
-
Why we’re making this change: This helps us protect the integrity of the platformprevent abuseand ensure a more stable and reliable experience for all users and creators.
The allowlist is subject to changeand we reserve the right to add or remove flags based on platform needs and community feedback at any time.
The Fast Flag Allowlist will be gradually rolled out over the next few days and fully enabled once we are confident in its functionality and that it will have minimal impact on the (non-cheating part of the) Roblox community.
What Fast Flags are currently on the allowlist?
Disclaimer: We will be re-evaluating this allowlist on a consistent basis and reserve the right to update the allowed Fast Flags at any given time without prior warning. The list below is under no circumstances a guarantee that said flags will not be removed if Roblox sees fit to do so.

How have the Fast Flags on the Allowlist been chosen?
The initially allowed Fast Flags were chosen based on two criteria: user demand and frequency of use as reported by Telemetry.
FAQs
Will Roblox Studio be impacted by the Fast Flag Allowlist?
- NoRoblox Studio Fast Flags are not restricted by the Fast Flag Allowlist.
Will I face consequences if I attempt to use Fast Flags that are not on the Fast Flag Allowlist?
- No. Fast Flags not on the Allowlist will simply be ignored. No further action will be taken against a user attempting to use a restricted Fast Flag.
My favorite Fast Flag is not allowed. How can I convince Roblox to add it to the Allowlist?
- Submit a feature requestpreferably with a compelling example of a use case.
I’m using Bloxstrap to set my Fast Flags. Will it still work?
- Bloxstrap configures Fast Flags by overwriting ClientAppSettings.on. Similar to manually editing ClientAppSettings.onthose added by Bloxstrap will not take effect unless they are on the Fast Flag Allowlist.
