Roblox client issues.

Post by jtkblue »

Hello! I'm new to this whole linux thing. One of my favorite pastimes was playing roblox on windows, but I couldn't take the sluggishness of windows 10 anymore.

I installed the roblox client .exe in wine, no problems there. The problem is how roblox boots games. First, you have to go into roblox.com and login. Next, you have to pick a game, and hit PLAY! When you hit play, it does something where it talks to the client, and launches the game in that client.

Problem is however, when I open the client on WINE, it loads in my normal web browser, outside of WINE. I've tried to install chrome, and microsoft edge on WINE to access roblox.com but it just wasn't having it. Chrome didn't load, and Edge crashed WINE.

So, there's my issue. Is there a way I can make the chrome in my normal linux installation talk to the installation of ROBLOX in wine?

P.S. I tried the WINE internet explorer, and couldn't get a single web-page to load :(

Hi !

I managed to get roblox on my ubuntu desktop working by installing grapejuice

and by patching wine
