[News] Roblox support is coming back to Wine on Linux (www.gamingonlinux.com)

Roblox updated their client some months back, and the anticheat didn't work with Linux at all. However, it looks like they're working on fixing this and the game is now playable on their very early access "zcanary" builds.

I suspect this Lemmy Steam Deck community has an older average age, and as a result may not have that many Roblox players. But the popularity of the game is undeniable and having it work on Steam Deck again will be great for a lot of people.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A few days ago on their developer forum, one of their staff members replied (you have to be signed in to read) noting "shoutout to the Grapejuice community - this one is for you".

The staff member also included a screenshot of Roblox running on Manjaro Linux:

That same staff member did also note that "There will be an official announcement regarding unofficial support for Wine.

If you really want to try it out, again I wouldn't suggest so (really just wait until it hits stable Roblox), but it is possible if you use Vinegar linked above.

You will need to switch it over to the zcanary update branch and use Vulkan, which you can do via this in terminal:

After that you'll be able to just login on the website, and run games or use the Vinegar Roblox App it gives you.

In my case this is good news as I used to play with my daughter which is using it on an Android tablet. And it's always good to keep an eye on her as I play her games with her!
