![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The point can be made that you guys just didn’t really bother to find a way to make it work, but with how many other anticheat solutions that also seem to go down this route too, I guess complications like this are just to be expected at this point. It’s understandable, since I’m assuming that the new anticheat does some weird stuff that as a byproduct, Wine is just unable to handle whatever it does. This is about what I expected would be the reasoning. I’m sad to hear these news, and all I can say is that I hope Roblox is capable of improving the user experience for the Linux desktop eventually. Please warn Wine users that their method of playing Roblox will soon no longer be supported for the foreseeable future, just like how you’ve warned users that are still running Roblox on 32-bit machines.Īs for Roblox Studio, does Roblox have any plans to prevent its use on Wine as well? Or will this just be a client policy for the foreseeable future? Linux users still have the (possible) option to run the client through Waydroid (similar to Wine, but for android apps instead), but restricting wine on studio as well would be even more impactful, as wine is the only reasonable way of running Roblox Studio without diving into virtualization. I understand that Roblox doesn’t officially support Wine or the Linux desktop, but I believe that a heads up for Wine users was (and still is) reasonable, to avoid as much disruption as possible (especially for the developer community!) Had this report not been made, the Linux community would most likely only find out that Linux support would be going away for the foreseeable future after this change was pushed out for everyone. ![]() Thank you for your reply and acknowledging the issue, however, the lack of communication here left me baffled and frustrated. Shortly after, the launcher will automatically close. This will result in a window appearing, informing the user that “Wine is not supported”. If you’re not part of the A/B test, you can install the new client anyways by using the following link: roblox-player:1+launchmode:app+channel:zwinplayer64 - as soon as accessed, the new client will be installed automatically. Make sure the new 圆4 client is installed.Any Wine version, including the latest one, has this issue. Even if Wine cannot run Byfron Roblox today, it might be able to one day. Roblox should not block Wine due to “compatibility issues” Wine is constantly improving and fixing compatibility issues with programs. This isn’t exclusive to Roblox, other games protected by Byfron have accidentally blocked Wine support in the past. Since there’s no reason whatsoever to prevent Wine users from using the client, this was most likely accidentally overlooked by Roblox, as there’s no official Wine support and updates aren’t tested for Wine compatibility. Unfortunately, Byfron has an option to prevent the program from running if it’s in Wine enabled by default, and Roblox’s engineers forgot to disable it, preventing all Linux users that are part of this A/B test from running Roblox at all, even if there’s no compatibility issue whatsoever with Wine. Roblox appears to be testing a brand new 64-bit client with Byfron implemented, a few users have been granted access to this client in what looks like an A/B test. ![]()
