Yep, works perfectly.
but yet ROBLOX still can't port to Linux? The 'concern' they had for it in 2013 was 'bad graphic drivers' which has been long solved, even the open source drivers can run games like TF2, Gmod, etc near perfectly.
Seriously why hasn't ROBLOX been ported to Linux? There actually is support for it, believe it or not. |

| @Epic if you're saying "just use windows", you are an idiot. People use Linux for a wide variety of reasons, some people use it by choice (a lot of the users) because of all the benefits and supporting Free Open Source software, some use it because they can't afford windows, etc. The point is, ROBLOX has ported to literally everything except Linux. |

why would they devote time to a port if you can do this?
Also does the player work? |

@Epic
the player doesn't work. Studio works perfectly fine though. It's a sad excuse that they can't port to Linux despite it clearly working on it. |

even funnier, in studio they have an OpenGL version which is 100% compatible with Linux. |

| Because not many people on ROBLOX even use Linux so they won't even attempt to port it |

@Glaceon
you have 0 knowledge of that. Plus no duh, people aren't using Linux on ROBLOX because you can't. How is that even a valid argument? |

What I'm trying to say is that there are way more people with Windows/macOS or a mobile device. There's only a very small portion of the community that uses Linux.
We are talking about a children's game here. Most children are using their parents' laptop from Walmart that is likely running Windows 7/8.1/10. |

still doubtful that would work. I believe It's the DRM and obfuscated code of the player that causes it to not work. But I'm not sure. |

ACTUALLY UPDATE:
When you launch a game through studio you actually do get in the game, only problem is it immediately shuts down. |

| I'm not saying that it shouldn't be ported. I've supported the Linux port for years. It's just that it is never going to happen. |

| Woah I had 0 idea ROBLOX has 'Vulkan API' (which is cross-platform) as a graphics option. Still has the same result, game shuts down. But this goes to show that ROBLOX can easily run on Linux and it would take no effort for it. It actually gives me hope because they have Vulkan as an option. |

There is legit 0 reason for them not port to Linux now that they have Vulkan as an option |

| I downloaded it and got the game and studio. Clicking on the launcher would bring you to the site. However, clicking play doesn't open the game. |

@zach worked for me, but the game shuts down. Playing solo in studio games works 100%.
try updating your WlNE version |
