Nvidia ones, Noveau? Official drivers? Something else?
Edit: the one in grapejuice aswell actually, but I assume dxvk, yes?
Iām using the official NVIDIA ones. Nouveau in my experience canāt even play YouTube videos without lag
My Grapejuice settings are DX11 for Studio
Do you use DXVK? I still kinda assume yes but just incase
Oh and, any integrated gpu?
Iāve never actually heard of DXVK before so no lol. I donāt do that much gaming (kind of why I switched back to Linux in the first place) so me and it never crossed paths I guess
I do have an integrated GPU. My CPU has Vega 11 graphics built into it
Wow, so youāve been doing this under WineD3D and somehow not getting perfomance issues, thatās pretty impressive
so the slowness is just because our gpu are newer (I have a RTX 2060, the Player works just fine (and faster than in Windows even) but Studio just has a massive perfomance issue), or some obscure system configuration
or because I have been using DXVK for Studioā¦ ? I donāt even remember anymore, I ended up switching back to Windows because of Adobe apps and school requirements (sad, I know + they donāt allow using vm)
Yeah my computer is weird like that. Sometimes things that run badly for people with similar or newer hardware are fine for me and vice versa

For some reason when I am running roblox it is only using 2 cpu threads causing a lot of lag, does anyone know a fix?
If you are serious about game development definitely donāt use this tool (if you manage to even get it running that is) because it is nowhere near ready for production use, you are better off installing a windows VM. If you have a high end PC and youāre thinking about switching to linux but Roblox Studio is holding you back, just install and use a windows virtual machine and save yourself all the trouble.

This software tool works great in Arch Linux and its derivatives (I tried it on Manjaro and SteamOS too) with patched WINE (Wine-Tkg-Git). āWineā in this context is a compatability layer tool to run Windows software in Linux.
The Player has top tier performance, but both itself and Studio have the memory leak issue in common when using patched wine. Using vanilla wine on the other hand just has performance issues.
Right now, using patched wine with Studio is not feasible because of the memory leak, and the client of Studio is 32 bit, which causes the program to close when trying to play test a game. 32 bit in general has a lower memory limit, therefore it is easier to reach that limit on a system with modern hardware. You are better off using vanilla wine with this software if you are serious about Roblox game development on GNU/Linux (on Arch Linux and its derivatives).

VMs can be very resource intensive.
Whenever I hear, āIf you are serious about game developmentā that sets off a lot of red flagsā¦
For anything other than scripters it works identically, perhaps for scripters though, theyād prefer to use Rojo and a VM?
Iād be interested in your performance. Does it really work as well as windows?
Last time I tried I got around 20-30fps in studio, camera panning was glitched,ā¦
The Roblox player works perfectly though.
They are resource intensive and thatās why I specifically stated that it is the best alternative only if you have a high end PC.
On each of the OSes I have installed Grapejuice in, the performance has been ridiculous. Each action was extremely slow and i gave up trying to keep track of the amount of bugs I found. I couldnāt even use it for coding because the player inside the studio was terrible and unplayable.
Surprisingly I found in Arch it ran the worst, the player was good in all of the OSes though. It did have quite a few problems but they only occurred on resource-intensive games but it is incomparably better than the studio.
You are better of not using it at all tbh unless you have no other option. Thereās barely any maintenance.
Ouch, not to be rude though, that seems to be mostly for you.
I havenāt had any of what youāve mentioned, nor have many other people 
It may be your hardware? NVidia GPU?
Either way, that makes a lot more sense now, but I still hold my point that just because it doesnāt work for you doesnāt mean that itās not a perfectly viable option for most people.

I donāt think so, people on this thread have reported pretty much almost every single problem I have had in the past more than once.
Quite a lot actually. Now obviously these issues varied in severity from the OS. Mint performed the worst but on Grapejuiceās defense it states that thereās no support for ubuntu-based distrobutions. Performance was mostly terrible although not always, sometimes it would be just usable up to some point although with quite a few drawbacks which wasnāt up to my standards.
Definitely not, and nope not a NVidia GPU. Grapejuice is my only negative experience, if there were any issues hardware related I wouldāve caught them early on since I do use wine to run some other resource-intensive applications.
I wouldnāt say perfectly viable because even people who have had positive experience with Grapejuice have listed quite a lot of drawbacks. Either way I just wanted to suggest the alternative of using a VM considering most people here are either asking for help or had a negative experience. It definitely doesnāt hurt to try Grapejuice and see if it up to your standards before doing that though ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
There is some inconsistency in your reviews.
Here you are said two OSās (or ādistrosā) had the worst performance, Linux Mint and Arch Linux.
Since hardware is not the issue, then what about software?
Have you installed GPU drivers?
- NVidia drivers (there are two: nvidia and nvidia LTS, for Linux and Linux LTS kernel respectively)?
CPU driver (xorg)?
- xf86-video-intel?
Installed 3D graphics library, āVulkanā? There are multiple packages for this and it varies by distro. The CPU and GPU drivers should already provide support for the OpenGL graphics library by default, but Vulkan is the successor to OpenGL, so you should install it.
Since you said both Linux Mint and Arch Linux were the worst, I can only assume you didnāt have Vulkan installed in both cases when you ran Roblox Studio with Grapejuice installed.

Mint performed worse than Arch but considering itās not supported it only makes sense not to be as performant. Arch on the other hand is a supported OS for the tool. I thought I had clarified this on the reply above, apologies for any confusion.
When I said that thereās no hardware issues I also implied that there are no driver issues. I have an amd processor & GPU so the drivers I have are different to the ones u mentioned and yes I do have vulkan installed.
Its joever. Roblox recently released Byfron, and they intentionally blocked wine from running roblox.

Any new (official) updates regarding the new block on wine with the new byfron client?
