Roblox

What works

Roblox Studio will launch, let you login, play, and edit games.

What does not

Wine does not automatically associate the protocols Roblox uses to launch the studio and games, see workarounds for fix.

Games with high part count may sometimes crash Roblox Studio

Lighting and shadows on objects may look jagged or out of place on Roblox Studio

Workarounds

In order for the studio to allow a log-in without an error for the captcha, you must associate the .desktop file with handling Roblox links. The Roblox Linux Wrapper automatically does this; otherwise, you will have to associate the .desktop file created by Wine to handle "x-scheme-handler/roblox-player" and "x-scheme-handler/roblox_studio". This will allow the Studio to work without any additional workarounds.

Additional Comments

It is definitely possible to go through all of the steps of installing Roblox through it's installer, as well as everything that is needed for Roblox to run and configuring it's settings. 

However, as this process is tedious, especially for someone who just wants to get Roblox up and running, there are a few wrappers to make this process easier:

• Vinegar [Recommended] - Actively maintained fast and minimal wrapper created as an alternative to Grapejuice for more advanced Linux users.
  • Prebuilt packages for most major Linux distributions, as well as Flatpaks hosted on Flathub. 
  • Does not have a GUI for configuration (yet), so all the configuring is done by editing a text file.
  • Recommended due to it's ease of install and active maintaining.

• Grapejuice [NOT RECOMMENDED] - Another Roblox Linux wrapper focused on ease of install and use.
  • As of July 8th, 2024, Grapejuice has been marked as abandoned by it's head maintainer.
  • Please do not use Grapejuice anymore. The only reason why it was included in this list is to guide any newcomers away from it, since it was widely recommended in older tutorials. Use Vinegar instead.
  • Prebuilt packages for most major Linux distributions, however the Flatpak listed on the site does not exist anymore because the wrapper hasn't received updates in a long time.
  • Much less actively maintained than Vinegar since Roblox Player has stopped working with Wine.
  • Has a GUI for configuration.
• Roblox Linux Wrapper [NOT RECOMMENDED] - Possibly the first Roblox Linux wrapper to be made.
  • The project repository has been archived since April 1st, 2024.
  • Please do not use this. The only reason why it was included in this list is to guide any newcomers away from it, since it was widely recommended in older tutorials.

Roblox Studio still works with Wine since it doesn't have any anti cheat, and Roblox has no plans of putting it in Studio.
