Bug ID: 52822 Summary: Roblox Studio Memory Leaks when play testing. Poor performance during general usage. Product: Wine Version: 7.6 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: stayblue@tutanota.com Distribution: ---
This has been a headache of an issue for a while now and has been one of the reasons why it has been so hard for me and many others to fully switch to Linux.
The Roblox Studio is a poorly optimized application to begin with, however, I didn't expect it to run this poorly on Linux compared to Windows. I have tried using different renderers such as DXVK and DX11 and found that Vulkan has the best performance for me. OpenGL basically doesn't work all together with menus being basically broken.
This bug is a bit hard to show on any sort of video, so I'll try to describe it as best as I can. There are a lot of bugs with the Roblox Studio application. Some of which being slow loading menus, typing with the script editor being poor, and insanely slow load times.
One of the biggest annoyances is play testing which is somewhat okay during the first run-through but after stopping the performance of the Studio application becomes abysmal.
The bigger the game is, the less performant the Studio is and the more often these bugs occur (to be expected).
If there is something else I can supply to help with fixing this long-standing issue please let me know.

--- Comment #1 from stayblue@tutanota.com --- Forgot to mention that if you do intend to install Roblox Studio, the easiest way is through an application called Grapejuice which you can see how to install here: https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/docs/

Hello! Sorry for the really late reply and thank you for asking.
Apologies for not attaching the logs in the original report. I tried finding them but I couldn't. Went on a scavenger hunt and did end up finding them so hear they are: https://pastebin.com/ywaeJCqm
As for an update, I have set the renderer in Grapejuice to DX11 which did boost the performance significantly compared to the last time that I tried it. There are still some slowdowns and other minor inconveniences, but it is actually usable now.
Here is the wine version which I am using: wine-7.13-63-g236476417ac ( TkG Staging Esync Fsync )
Note I am using this custom wine version as it has yielded the best performance for me. I have not had the time to test the latest stable version of wine or wine-staging.
