We are in a family crisis here, can any of the solutions run roblox after their botched anti cheat update?

Is this what happened? I booted up a Roblox-made game yesterday and it broke the EasyAntiCheat software on my machine.

I think so, but the solution may be convoluted. Waydroid users can spin up an Android container to run Roblox post-Wine ban: https://youtu.be/E0BLQCEU8ZI

Through android? Interesting approach will try this to see how it performs, thanks!

It's like one of those "edit Windows Registry to get around the library time restrictions" videos from 2009. The fact that I'm seeing these for Linux is a sign that nature is healing, I think.

Uhh AoE 2 recently broke under crossplay due to I think an anti cheat upgrade. Wonder if it's the same tech
