Switching to this fork and back

This article documents how to install this fork instead of regular Bloxstrap and vice versa.

Installing this fork

Download the latest release and run it. Install the .NET runtime if you need to.

If you have Bloxstrap installed, you will see this popup:

The installer has detected that you may be installing on top of a regular Bloxstrap install. If that is the case, click Yes to proceed.

Click Yes to proceed with the installation. In a second or two, the fork should open.

All settings that you had will remain intact.

Switching to regular Bloxstrap

If you wish to go back to official Bloxstrap, simply download the latest official release and run it. It will ask you to upgrade, and then replace the fork with itself.

Note

The installer can show this error after finishing:

System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key 'UI.Menu.Style.DisableV2' was not present in the dictionary.

It is perfectly normal and does not affect the resulting installation.

All the settings unique to the fork will still be in the configuration file. If you go back to the fork, they will automatically apply.

Important

However, the escape menu version setting will be reset due to official Bloxstrap having code that wipes it on launch.

Troubleshooting

If you are having problems installing this fork, I recommend doing a clean install.

  1. Delete Bloxstrap's files: Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Bloxstrap and remove all files except Settings.json and State.json. Those files manage your settings.
  2. Run the installer: Run the installer you downloaded. After this, you should be fine. If not, open an issue.

Important

This is a fork of Bloxstrap. I am not affiliated with or endorsed by the creators of Bloxstrap.
