How do i play roblox on linux

[MiszS]

How do i play roblox on linux? I've got it working using vinegar, and it surprisingly stopped crashing after literally 2 minutes now, but the textures are still pretty buggy, and playing something like doors is just impossible

CAUTION: I AM NOT NOR EVER WILL PLAY GAMES ON MY COMPUTER, AS I DON'T NEED A $1000 TOY.

 

That being said, try Grapejuice, it's available on GitHub.

Nevermind I just read the anticheat flags proton as a cheat engine. So thats outta the question.

 

However surprisingly regular old wine is fine and runs OK

i mean it works, but as i said, the textures are broken, a big part of them are just transparrent, then they aren't, then they are again

Yes but that's vinegar the grape fork. People have most success on regular wine it seems or when they use debian distributions for vinegar\

 

Actuall what distro do you have?

linux mint 21.2, and the textures just fixed themselves after i joined again, even tho it hadn't happened before

Might have been shaders caching and once finished they could correctly load em. Either way with emulation there is often some weirdness till everything is fully initialized.

There is a specific application made for running roblox on linux. Pretty sure it's called grapejuice. I got it working on Manjaro so if need be I can pull out the craptop to check

right now it seems to be working with vinegar, but ill say if something breaks

I personally used wine and it worked like a dream! Roblox runs well on wine if you set it up normally!

The wallpapers are great.  Here's a link to an archive of all Linux Mint wallpapers.

 

https://github.com/rt2yrru/linux_mint_wallpaper

 

You can the following commands

 

cd ~/home/Download

 

mkdir git

 

gitclone https://github.com/rt2yrru/linux_mint_wallpaper

 

Then it downloads all the images at once.

Because you are using Linux Mint, it seems relevant to appreciate the other wallpapers bundled with it in prior releases.  You'll understand why I included it when you have a look at the images.

 

I've never heard of vinegar, or grapujuice, I just use proton built into steam, but I'm sure it does not work with all games yet.  I like the consistency of using one program to access my games, so I add non-steam games into it as well, I guess that won't work if it tries to load the game with proton, so maybe try adding the .exe for the game, but turn off the compatibility mode.  Maybe then it would allow the program to launch with it's intended program.
