Roblox

What works

ROBLOX Studio 2013's interface Logging in through the website Editing games with Build mode Editing games with Edit mode Building with built-in tools Inserting parts via interface

What does not

Website doesn't behave properly. Occasionally, a page will not load properly or buttons on the site will not work, this can be fixed by refreshing or going to the home page. If the Studio still does not behave, a relaunch is a sure way to work around this.

Additional Comments

It is highly recommended to run this in a dedicated 32-bit wine prefix. To do this, set the WINEPREFIX and WINEARCH variables. Additionally, it is necessary to run "winetricks vcrun2012 wininet" in your wine prefix if you would like to log in and edit games. Hopefully, these requirements will disappear shortly as wine becomes more capable. required winetricks: - wininet - vcrun2012 optional winetricks: - ddr=gdi Be sure to see the "Information regarding OpenGL vs DirectX mode" note below.

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.
