Since Roblox acquired anti-cheat company Byfron, will they start auto-banning players using an FPS Unlocker?

After watching Kreek's video () informing everyone that Roblox acquired Byfron, it made me wonder if they will consider FPS Unlockers as cheats and auto-ban every player that uses them, so that everyone (that didn't get auto-banned) has a fair advantage even though FPS Unlockers are very easy to download and use (I can provide a link to one if necessary). I know there are some Roblox speedrun communities that do not allow FPS Unlockers to be used during a speedrun, but there are many that do allow them to be used.

Does anyone know if Roblox will start to auto-ban players using an FPS Unlocker?

Edit: I did some more research and apparently the VP of Engineering & Technology at Roblox announced back in RDC 2019 that anyone using an FPS Unlocker will not be banned. Has this position changed since then now that Roblox has acquired Byfron?

  1. no, they won't be banned because the program was created by a roblox dev & literally all it does is remove the cap on the cpu usage of roblox
  2. there is actually very few communities that allow fps unlocker and usually those are moderated by people whom moderate smaller games (fps unlocker is pretty much looked down entirely by the speedrunning community) so no it won't get you banned but you really shouldnt use it for speedrunning

It doesn't cap the CPU usage, it caps the frames. Fairly important distinction to make as they're completely different.

the fps limiting is to do with the cpu usage itsefl

Just want to add, I don't think this is something you should really worry about if you aren't using FPS unlocker at all anyway. But if you are, forget I said anything. Not entirely sure about the whole situation but I still wouldn't recommend using FPS unlocker just like @Aarexx did.
