Workaround for recent Roblox crashes (for Vinegar) ( discord.com )

Roblox recently released an update that caused freezes on the desktop app. Some cannot open Roblox while others experience crashes after a few minutes of playing. This seems to be caused by a change in their anti-cheat engine, as Windows users with BitDefender experienced the exact same issue.

If you are using Linux and have installed Vinegar from Flathub to run Roblox, you can follow these steps to work around this bug.

Open the terminal. You can find it in your app drawer.
Paste flatpak run io.github.vinegarhq.Vinegar edit and press enter on your keyboard.
A text editor will open on the terminal. You can move the cursor by using the arrow keys. Paste the following into the bottom of the file using Ctrl+Shift+V (Ctrl+V is not used for pasting by the terminal). If the [player] line already exists (e.g. you have modified it before already), only add/replace the channel line under it.

[player]
channel = "zavatarteam2"

Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O and Enter, then Ctrl+X to exit.

You can then open "Roblox App (Vinegar)" on your app drawer to play Roblox as usual.
