Shift Lock is a button that Roblox players can use to lock their character’s perspective. This feature blocks third person view when you press the SHIFT key on your keyboard and can greatly improve your gaming experience. If you’re playing a certain game that has obbies (like Tower of Hell), here’s how to slide the lock in Roblox on PC (Windows, Mac).
How to enable the Shift Lock button in Roblox
If you’re wondering which keys are used to lock Shift, Windows PC and Mac players can follow these steps.
- Launch the game from Roblox.com.
- In the game, press the ESC button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- Under Shift Lock Switch, change the setting to On.
- Now press ESC again to return to the game.
- Press the SHIFT key on your keyboard. Once you turn it on, you will see a circle in the center of the screen. Doing obbi becomes a lot easier with this feature enabled, especially if you want to get to some of the more difficult areas.
- Whenever you want to disable this feature, follow the same steps and change it to OFF.
Please note that this feature is not available in all games you play. Some developers may disable it, in which case you’ll see the text “Installed by developer”in the “Settings”section.
Roblox Shift lock not working fix
Wondering why you can’t enable Shift Lock? There are a few things you need to check. First, is there such an option in the game? Some game scenarios may include a button for mobile users, while others may not have one at all.
As mentioned earlier, if you see “Installed by developer”then there is no option to use the Shift lock switch.
Check if it works in other games
If the game you are playing has Shift Lock but it doesn’t work, try launching another game that has this feature. Check if you can use it there. If yes, there is a chance that there is a glitch in an earlier game. You can report this to the developers through their group, Discord, or other social networks.
Change motion mode and camera mode
- Open the game you want to play and press ESC.
- Under Settings, find the Motion Mode section and switch it to Keyboard + Mouse.
- Now go and check if it works or not.
- If that doesn’t fix it, try changing the camera mode and see if it starts working.
Change display scale
It seems to have worked for some and is worth a try.
- On the desktop, right-click anywhere on an empty area of the screen and select Display Settings.
- In the “Scale and Layout”section, click the dropdown next to “Scale”and change it to “Recommended”. If it was already in the “Recommended”list, select the nearest other option.
- After that, launch the game and check if it works correctly. If your display scale becomes too large or too small, return the settings to the original.
That’s all you need to know and what you can do to fix it if Shift Lock stops working. If you need help and don’t know how to contact Roblox, we have a guide for you.
