Grapejuice - Easily run Roblox on Linux

fixed! Wine HttpSendRequest failed. I found the fix here

I just had to do sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls in the terminal

Sorry for the bump, but this actually seems like a really cool topic. I think I might try this out if I could possibly get Wine 7.0 on my Rpi4.

And I might also test this with my Ubuntu SD card I have.

But this needs to be admired more.
I still have the question: why doesn’t Roblox natively add Linux support?

I looked for answers and couldn’t find any reasonable ones.

Here’s a bit of a suggestion. Add a setting for studio to automatically install the Vanilla icons pack.
Maybe have the setting automatically install the default icons, but you can replace the png it uses for icons to change it to a different version, or just to use any custom studio icons.

Something like this (as well as the numerous other suggestions) of this type are all entirely out of scope of the purposes and goals of Grapejuice. GJ is meant to be a wrapper for ROBLOX with WINE, not a do-it-all tool to provide every possible end-user modification for ROBLOX.

The wine error is related to Roblox’s connection to a server. You should search up the error code.

Actually, that’s not a wine error. This is a Roblox error.

So, I’ve finally bothered to install Grapejuice in a VM, more obscure than last time using CutefishOS. And it works, this is my first time managing to get it running. My performance is pretty bad due to me using it in a VM, but I’m pleased to announce it works.

This is honestly an amazing project, please keep working on it.

before anyone asks, yes I did test on an alt

If you scroll up a few posts, you’ll realise I had trouble previously with getting it running. Requirements have since changed anyways.

Why would I sign into my main account on a VM?

What’s the point of using grapejuice on a VM in the first place? You would want a PC for this.

I literally don’t have any devices running Linux, I can’t run it on an old desktop due to GPU incompatibilities (obscure NVIDIA iGPU, think it has limited support even in Windows 10), and an old laptop since drivers look to be a pain to get for the network card etc

What’s wrong with just trying stuff out in a VM?

Trying is the keyword here and it wasn’t specified in your previous post, my apologies. I do think that for long-term use this shouldn’t be ran in a VM.

Is there any way I can use Steam Proton with this?

speaking of more detailed games, i’m running into an error about running out of memory in ROBLOX logs and then my game crashing. is there a way to increase the memory available to it? i have 16GB of RAM and this was never a problem on windows.

Try checking the amount of ram available and Roblox’s memory usage. When I used to daily drive Arch Linux, I’ve never had a single issue with the client, only Studio just lagging very badly.

Also, might help but what distro?

Works great on Steam Deck with OpenGL set as the render!

This program works very well on Arch (btw) The last time I used it there seemed to have been a bug in which the cursor would get stuck once you rotated the camera, but that has been fixed! This is awesome!

PS: What desktop environment do you use? PLEASE give me the config.
