What Goldstrap is, and is not
Goldstrap is an open-source bootstrapper for Roblox, built on the work of Bloxstrap and Fishstrap. It downloads the official client, applies your local settings, and starts it. It does not modify the game itself, does not touch servers, and does not give you anything the Roblox client would not do on its own.
It is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation. Roblox can change the client at any time, and something in this manual may be out of date by the time you read it.
