Roblox

It wouldn't let me play roblox at all and i'm very confused i need answers.... it would say that it has occured problems while trying to run roblox please help me on this.

It's only working in beta channel yet.

Its been pushed to the live channel, you should be able to play without issue now. Make sure you're using a wrapper like grapejuice.

Use grapejuice, if that doesnt work try their trouble shooting page. If that doesnt work your hardware is incompatible.

Jesus christ, I keep getting sent shit twice.

Im just not going to bother with WineHQ comments anymore, its a complete dumpster fire of a mess.

¡Don't panic! 64-Bits client is experimental, and they're collecting data to fix issues before the next release. Looks like the block is temporary. For now, use 32-Bits client.

Nevermimd, looks like it's a release now

Ok, but how do i switch to 32-bit? send a link or smth idk?

This comment is old, 32-Bit client has been discontinued and will not work anymore

I suggest mantainers to delete my comment since this is outdated and can now be misleading

This issue appears on Wayland, mouse locks normally when using X11.
However, the games are still very playable and it's still possible to play games that depends on it if you ignore the pointer. When the cursor reaches the corner, it doesn't get out of it and won't prevent you from doing multiple 360º. I didn't tested it with legacy games wich depends on mouse raycasting while it's in the center though.

It works fine on legacy games too, the mouse moves but the game detects as it were in the center. It's harder to aim without the pointer in the center tho as thes games uses the mouse as the pointer,

After a lot of testing, i have conclueded that something unknown just dies when you hit 900MB+ of ram in roblox games, games that are older and dont use as much ram run almost flawlessly, but with newer games that use 900mb or more of ram run at 15-20 fps max. If a wine dev sees this, please fix it and thank you ;)

Can you give me an example of a Roblox game I can play that would probably use up 900mb or more ram?

Jean-Marc Spaggiari please, divide details in What works and What does not works next time
For example, for the mouse and lag issue, you could detail about that on What does not works instead of describing it on What works

I hugely recommend DXVK to run Roblox Player
According to the other reports, wined3d crashes with heavier games, so we have in mind that we can use alternatives to that
Nobody has tested vkd3d yet

Roblox has also their own OpenGL and Vulkan implementation, but:
*OpenGL is incomplete, graphics effects looks uglier and has much fewer effects than Vulkan, DirectX and Metal (MacOS). Performance is also not better than on DXVK and wined3d on lower graphics (wich looks the same in quality)
*Vulkan Roblox implementation is bad. It's way slow and even worst on integrated graphics. Although you don't seem to have much issue with input lag, the framerates are very bad. It's not the best alternative even for dedicated graphics users.

DXVK had much better performance and less crash for most users, although (on my tests) i've got more input lag

This all depends on which hardware is used.
For example, I use AMD Vega integrated graphics and Vulkan runs perfectly for me. On an old AMD graphics card I used, OpenGL ran far better than even Roblox on Windows (couldn't test DXVK because the GPU doesn't support Vulkan but I think OpenGL would still run faster due to lower graphics quality)

You're right...
Using native OpenGL is the best option for older hardware that doesn't support Vulkan

Trying on Wine 7.0-rc6, Vulkan has got A LOT better. Performance is still a little worse than on DXVK, but input lag is a lot worse on DXVK, so it's now worth it the change to Vulkan.

Note that it's my experience on my hardware, on my operating system.
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620
CPU: Intel i3-7100U
RAM: 12GB (4GX + 8GB)
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
Kernel version: Linux 5.15.12-1-MANJARO

I'm on chrome OS does Dxvk work on chromebooks?

¿Why was the latest test report classified as gold?
Like... You need to compile Wine-tkg with a custom patch to solve the cursor issue, wich is a major issue on this software
But the rest works out-of-the-box, other patches like DXVK are optional, so it's most likely a Silver application than a Gold one yet

grapejuice’s community makes this task far easier

Yeah, you're right... But the purpose of classifications is to track how Wine works with the software. Grapejuice helps a lot to make heavy configurations for it, but there's still issues wich has no workarounds.

If that were only a issue with the mouse freezing thing, then Roblox Player could be Gold because you can build Wine with a patch to solve that and it would work just alike or better than on Windows. But you'll still face problems with the recording feature, mouse input lag and microstutters depending on the hardware and operating system (For example, i had this problem on Intel HP G47 using Zorin Lite but not on Zorin Core), wich currently has no workaround
Silver means that a application works with some workarounds or out-of-the-box, but has minor issues wich has no workarounds. Gold applications are softwares wich works with some configurations and shows no issues after configuring it.

So i would agree more if Roblox Player were a Silver application.

I downloaded the patched version of Wine-tkg but it has the same problem as the Wine-Staging (crashing with an error) the only workaround is with vanila wine (currently 6.15) but the mouse not working need to use alt-tab to unlock .

From what I've heard, issues with wine-tkg and wine-staging will be fixed in 6.16 (not 100% sure though) so until then, use vanilla Wine. As for the mouse bug in vanilla Wine, I guess we will have to wait until a mouse patch gets added to a future version of Wine.

Unfortunately i haven't heard of anyone making a good enough mouse patch to be submitted to Wine. The mouse patch only works for Roblox and it breaks other games

Just chiming in to say that the mouse locking on right-click issue is still present. I've checked on the various Grapejuice pages though and it looks like they're aware of the bug - hopefully it will be fixed soon! Makes playing very difficult if you use a keyboard and mouse

Edit: The problem seems to be fixed with a patch added to wine-tkg. If you join the GrapeJuice discord channel, there's a link to the patched .pkg file that you can use to either install the patched version of wine (on arch-based systems), or (preferably) extract it somewhere and point to it in grapejuice's config file (that way you don't have to replace your current version of wine)
