Error Description
Delta Executor opens but gets stuck on a loading screen — the injection progress bar freezes, the app shows a black screen, or the "Starting Injection" or "Asset Loader" step never completes.
Why This Happens
- 1Roblox updated its client and Delta has not yet released a compatibility patch — the injection engine cannot attach to the new Roblox process
- 2Antivirus or Windows Defender is blocking the DLL injection mid-process, causing the loading to hang indefinitely
- 3Missing runtime dependencies — Visual C++ Redistributables or .NET Framework are not installed (PC)
- 4Insufficient device memory — background apps consuming RAM cause the injection process to stall or crash silently
- 5Required permissions not granted — overlay permission (Android), administrator privileges (PC)
- 6Corrupted or incomplete Delta installation — core files were deleted by antivirus or download was interrupted
- 7Unstable network connection — the Asset Loader stage requires downloading resources from the server and fails on weak connections
Quick Fix — Try This First
These 3 steps resolve the issue for most users. If they don't work, continue to the detailed platform-specific guide below.
Force close both Delta Executor and Roblox, restart your device, then try again — this resolves most temporary freezes
Make sure Roblox is fully loaded into a game BEFORE you tap Inject in Delta — injecting from the Roblox home screen causes loading hangs
Check deltaexecutor.co/status — if a Roblox update just dropped, Delta may need a patch (usually 4-8 hours)
How to Fix on Android
5 steps — follow in order until the issue is resolved.
Clear Delta Executor Cache and Data
Go to Settings → Apps → Delta Executor → Storage → Clear Cache, then Clear Data. This removes corrupted configuration that can cause the loading loop. After clearing, re-enter your key and try again.
Grant All Required Permissions
Delta needs the "Display over other apps" (overlay) permission to work. Go to Settings → Apps → Delta Executor → Permissions → enable all permissions. Also check Settings → Apps → Special app access → Display over other apps → Delta → Allow.
Close Background Apps to Free RAM
Delta injection requires significant memory. Close all other apps: open the recent apps view and swipe them all away. If your phone has less than 2GB of total RAM, you may need to restart the device before each injection session to ensure enough memory is available.
Use the Built-in Dependency Installer
Open Delta Executor → go to the main menu → find Configure or Settings → tap "Fixes" → select "Install Dependencies". Wait for the download to complete. This installs libraries required by the injection engine.
Reinstall Delta Executor (Clean Install)
Uninstall Delta completely (Settings → Apps → Uninstall). Download the latest APK from deltaexecutor.co/download/android. Install fresh. This guarantees all files are intact and up to date.
How to Fix on PC (Windows)
5 steps — start with Step 1 (most common fix).
Run Delta Executor as Administrator
Right-click Delta Executor → "Run as administrator". DLL injection requires elevated privileges. Without admin rights, the process may start but then hang at the injection stage with no error message.
Add Delta to Windows Defender Exclusions
Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions → Add an exclusion → add the entire Delta Executor folder. Windows Defender can silently block the injection DLL mid-process, causing a freeze with no error popup.
Install Visual C++ Redistributables
Download and install Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (both x86 AND x64 versions) from Microsoft. Missing VC++ runtime causes the injector to load but fail silently at the DLL initialization stage.
Close Conflicting Software
Close any other injectors, cheat engines, overlay software (Discord overlay, GeForce Experience overlay), and screen recorders. These programs can conflict with Delta's injection process by hooking the same Windows APIs.
Verify Roblox Is Up to Date
Open the Microsoft Store or Roblox Launcher and check for updates. If Roblox just updated and Delta has not released a patch yet, the loading screen freeze is expected — check our status page for the patch ETA.
How to Fix on iOS
3 steps for iPhone and iPad.
Force Close and Restart
Double-press the Home button (or swipe up on Face ID devices) to open the app switcher. Swipe up on both Roblox and Delta to force close them. Restart your iPhone, then open Roblox first, join a game, and then switch to Delta.
Switch Network Connection
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi → switch to a different network, or turn off Wi-Fi to use cellular data. If you are on a restricted network (school, work), the Delta loading stage may be blocked by a firewall.
Reinstall with Latest IPA
Delete Delta from your device. Download the latest IPA from deltaexecutor.co/download/ios and re-sideload using Sideloadly or AltStore. Outdated IPA files may have compatibility issues with the current Roblox version that manifest as loading freezes.
How to Prevent This Issue
Always wait for Roblox to fully load into a game before injecting — never inject from the Roblox home screen or during the loading screen
Keep Delta Executor updated — outdated versions frequently freeze on loading after Roblox patches
Maintain at least 2GB of available RAM on your device during injection (close background apps)
Whitelist Delta in your antivirus before the first launch to prevent mid-injection DLL blocking
Check deltaexecutor.co/status before troubleshooting — the issue may be a known outage with a fix in progress
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common cause is antivirus blocking the DLL injection on PC, or missing permissions on Android. On PC, add Delta to Windows Defender exclusions and run as administrator. On Android, clear cache, grant overlay permission, and close background apps.
The Asset Loader stage downloads required resources from the Delta server. If it hangs, your internet connection is likely unstable. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or try a different network. If the Delta servers are down, you need to wait for a fix.
After a major Roblox update, Delta needs to release a compatibility patch. This usually takes 4-8 hours. Check our status page (deltaexecutor.co/status) for the current patch ETA. Do not repeatedly try to inject during this time.
A black screen usually means the app data is corrupted. Go to Settings → Apps → Delta Executor → Storage → Clear Cache and Clear Data. If that does not work, uninstall and reinstall the latest version from the official website.
Open Delta Executor → Settings or Configure → Fixes → "Install Dependencies". This downloads the required libraries for the injection engine. Wait for the process to complete before attempting injection.
Normal injection takes 10-30 seconds. If the loading screen persists for more than 60 seconds, something is wrong. Force close both apps and try the troubleshooting steps in this guide.
