Roblox support returns to Linux with Wine

After the recent news that Roblox was playable in Wine again with their special Beta channels, it seems they've now enabled Roblox to run in Wine on the stable version making it really easy to get Roblox on Linux.

Probably the easiest way to run it is with Vinegar, a Wine wrapper for Roblox. You can just install it from Flathub (or Discover on Steam Deck in Desktop Mode), make a configuration file in terminal to set it to Vulkan and then you’re good to go after that:

mkdir -p ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/ && { echo "[player]"; echo "dxvk = false"; echo "renderer = \"Vulkan\""; } >> ~/.var/app/io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar/config/vinegar/config.toml

I know there’s a launcher called Grapejuice that’s very popular for running the game as well, but I don’t know if there are any additional steps needed to get it to work.

      Same. I know it matters to a lot of younger players though, my son’s game requirements to consider getting a steam deck are beamNG and Roblox support.

      Nha. The Roblox dev team made a major fuckup.

      Games work very well, and the ones that don’t are few and present issues on other platforms too.

      Checkout protondb.com search for anything. Chances are just about any game you might want to play will run on the Steam Deck. Games that outright don’t work are few and far between. The exception is competitive games with invasive (often kernel-level) anti-cheat measures.
