Bad news for Roblox fans on Linux \u2014 the workarounds are dead. GamingOnLinux<\/em> reports<\/a> that the latest version of Roblox \u201cforcefully blocks it from working with Wine,\u201d throwing a \u201cWine is not supported\u201d error message even when Roblox-specific tools like Vinegar<\/a> and Grapejuice<\/a> are added. Wine is the compatibility layer that lets many Windows games run on Linux systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But Roblox claims it\u2019s not personal. \u201cConfirming there has been no change on our end to specifically block Linux or Steam Deck since Roblox never supported Linux or Steam Deck officially,\u201d spokesperson Samantha Spielman tells The Verge<\/em>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe\u2019re constantly improving our Hyperion anti-cheat functionality, so it\u2019s possible whatever the author was doing was no longer compatible with our anti-cheat systems,\u201d Spielman added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cthere has been no change on our end to specifically block Linux or Steam Deck\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I don\u2019t know enough about Roblox workarounds to tell if the company\u2019s splitting hairs, but it\u2019s quite possible that Roblox simply cut off unofficial<\/em> support for Wine because it felt it\u2019d been abused.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
