How to Fix “Shift Lock” Not Working on Roblox
Here are 4 ways to fix the Shift Lock feature in Roblox:
1. Check If Shift Lock Is Available For Your Game
If Shift Lock is not working, press “Esc”, go to “Settings,” and check the “Shift Lock Switch” option. If it says “Set by Developer”, then the feature has been disabled for this game.
2. Change The Camera Mode
Switch your camera from “Follow” mode to “Classic” mode. You can also try toggling between the two modes to get Shift Lock to work. To do this, go to “Settings”, locate the “Camera Mode” option, and choose the “Classic“ Mode.
3. Change The Movement Mode
Ensure you’re using the “Mouse + Keyboard” movement mode setting since other modes don’t support Shift Lock. Changing the movement mode setting is easy. Go to the menu “Settings > Movement Mode” and then enable the “Mouse + Keyboard” mode. After this, test it in the game to see if it works.
4. Try Another Game
The issue might be a glitch or bug in the current game. If the problem persists, contact the game developer to report the bug.
