Fixed

Linux: Stuck on "Starting Roblox" With the Flatpak (#63)

On some systems, NixOS in particular, the Flatpak version of Voidstrap stayed on Starting Roblox forever. Sober opened without a display and failed with SDL_INIT_VIDEO failed ... wayland,x11 not available.

Voidstrap now reads your real desktop session (display, Wayland socket, session bus and session type) from the host and passes it to Sober. Sober now opens on your desktop like it does outside the Flatpak.

While reproducing this, a second NixOS problem turned up and was fixed too. Programs that are links to the real file, which is how NixOS installs everything, were treated as missing. Voidstrap now follows those links when it looks for a program.

If Roblox fails to start on Linux, the launch window now stays open and shows Roblox could not start with the error, instead of closing with no explanation.

Thanks to @KSGVIO for the detailed report and logs.

Linux: Mouse Drifting Off Screen While Turning the Camera (#66)

Holding right click to turn the camera could leave the mouse on another monitor when you let go.

This happened because Voidstrap started Sober through XWayland by default whenever the custom cursor or the Roblox window title and icon features were on. Sober now runs natively on Wayland by default, which keeps the mouse locked while you turn the camera.

The custom cursor and window title and icon still work under Wayland if you turn on the new Run Roblox through XWayland option on the Sober page. The option says clearly that it can bring back the mouse drift.

Thanks to @obaba-samich for the report.

Roblox Priority Ignoring Your Selection

The priority you choose for Roblox is now the one that's used. Before, Optimize Roblox and the TASX optimizer could quietly replace it with Above Normal or High.

• When Roblox is in the background, Reduce memory when out of focus and TASX lower it to Below Normal and put your choice back when you return
• Voidstrap now checks that Windows actually kept the priority and logs it when it didn't

Matchmaker

• Blocked datacenters now stay blocked. A blocked city could slip back in when its country was written differently, for example a full name instead of the country code
• Teleporting inside a game no longer starts a new matchmaker search

Linux: Overlays and Game Effects During Teleports

• Frame generation now pauses while you move between servers and restarts once the new server is ready, instead of drawing stale frames
• If no server join is confirmed within 60 seconds, game effects resume on their own
• Leaving a game is now detected properly, so the homepage background and overlays switch back correctly

Linux: CPU Core Limit

The CPU core limit now applies to every Sober thread and reads your processor's layout correctly, so the limit covers the right cores.

Other Fixes

• Dropdowns highlight the item under your mouse properly again (This was fixed and was broken)
• Menus open and close smoothly, and spacing on the Integrations page has been fixed
• Turning overlays on or off on the Mods page now takes effect right away, and brightness changes apply live on every platform, not just Linux
• Dropdowns and popups open in the right spot next to their control

Added

Custom Accent Color

The Appearance page has a new Accent color option. Pick any color for the app's controls and background tint, or choose Use system color to go back to your Windows accent.

Notifications Tab

Notification settings have their own Notifications tab, with a switch for each kind:

• Updates
• Roblox and mods
• Settings recovery
• Errors and crashes
• Game joined

Turning off App Notifications turns them all off at once. The notification list also shows each title, message and how long ago it arrived.

Shortcut Name and Icon

Each shortcut (Roblox, Roblox Studio and Voidstrap Settings) now has a Name and icon section on the Shortcuts page and in the installer. Rename a shortcut or give it any of the Voidstrap icons or your own image (.ico, .png, .jpg, .bmp or .webp, up to 8 MB).

On Linux, shortcuts are now set up correctly and start Voidstrap reliably.

Import Settings From Bloxstrap or Fishstrap

Switching over is now one click. Apply From on the Channel page and in the installer copies your settings and FastFlags from Bloxstrap or Fishstrap, including theme, bootstrapper style, icon, channel and Discord options.

Apply Fast Flags To

A new Apply Fast Flags to option on the FastFlags page chooses whether your Fast Flags apply to the Roblox player, Roblox Studio, or both. Launches that are left out start without them, and your Fast Flags are kept.

Fast Flag Editor Actions

Right click a flag in the Fast Flag editor to Rename it, Edit value, Copy selected as JSON or Delete selected.

Server Uptime

The Server Information window now shows how long the server has been running. It works on Windows and on Linux through Sober, using the start time Roblox writes to its log.

Launch Button Version Picker

Save and Launch is now a split button. The arrow opens Choose Roblox version, so you can pick what it starts. You can move the arrow to the right side with Place the version dropdown on the right.

AssetWarp Works With Fleasion

AssetWarp can now run alongside Fleasion. When Fleasion is running, it forwards through AssetWarp instead of the two fighting over Roblox's traffic. Voidstrap follows Roblox launched by Fleasion and puts Fleasion's routing back when AssetWarp closes.

Linux: NVIDIA Settings

The NVIDIA page now works on Linux. FXAA, the benchmark overlay, the frame rate limiter and low latency mode apply to Sober. The benchmark overlay uses MangoHud, and Voidstrap offers to install it when needed. Settings that only exist on Windows are hidden.

Linux: Sober Launcher

A new Launcher option on the Sober page puts a command in front of Sober, for example prime-run on laptops with two graphics cards, gamemoderun or mangohud. If the command isn't installed, Sober starts without it.

Uninstall Restores NVIDIA Settings

Uninstalling Voidstrap now puts back the NVIDIA driver settings it changed for Roblox, asking for administrator approval when needed. If that fails, Voidstrap asks whether to uninstall anyway instead of stopping.

Improved

Game History

Game History has been rebuilt:

• Fixed Titlebar UI issue
• Teleports within the same server no longer show up as separate visits
• Press Esc to close it

Fast Flag Search & Validation

The Fast Flag search window has been rebuilt:

• Live Flag Search loads flag names from several sources and shows exact matches first. You can export the results with all, true or false values
• Bulk Validation checks a pasted list or a file, finds duplicates, and shows whether each flag is known and its value has the right type
• Data sources shows which sources loaded and when

Discord Rich Presence

• Shows Loading game while Roblox is joining a server
• Falls back to Roblox when a game's name can't be loaded, instead of failing
• Your status clears properly when Roblox closes

Command Palette

Search in the command palette finds settings and pages more accurately, and is easier to move through with the keyboard.

Linux

• Voidstrap uses much less memory on Linux, giving memory back after you leave a game and while Roblox is running
• Mods now work with Sober's Roblox files. Voidstrap unpacks them after Sober closes and converts textures to the format Sober uses
• On older Mesa versions with no graphics card available through Vulkan, Voidstrap switches to OpenGL software rendering because Mesa's software Vulkan driver keeps growing in memory
• Effect layers (vkBasalt, MangoHud and LSFG) install more reliably for Sober, and when one fails Voidstrap tells you which one and why
• Text selection, rich text and fonts display properly
• The Flatpak no longer counts the app that opened Voidstrap (like your terminal) as Voidstrap in system monitors
• Sober is detected more reliably, ignoring leftover processes that already closed
• The .rpm package needs fewer packages to install (WebKit and GStreamer are now recommended instead of required), and the .rpm and Arch packages make sure a font is installed

Removed

Custom Discord Rich Presence

The RPC Customizer (custom Discord status) has been removed. Voidstrap's built in Discord status covers the game, server and app.

Player and Message Logs

The Player and Message logs option under Integrations has been removed.

Channel Page Buttons

Check for Updates and Global Settings on the Channel page have been replaced by Apply From (see above). Voidstrap still checks for updates by itself.

Dependencies

• Microsoft.Web.WebView2 1.0.4191.47 → 1.0.4258.31 (Bump Microsoft.Web.WebView2 from 1.0.4191.47 to 1.0.4258.31 #64)
• Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32 0.3.335 → 0.3.346 (Bump Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32 from 0.3.335 to 0.3.346 #65)

What's Next?

Linux support keeps being refined based on your reports, and both Linux issues from 1.1.2.9 are fixed in this release. If Run Roblox through XWayland is off and the mouse still drifts, please open a new issue.

As always, bug reports and feedback are extremely valuable. Crash reports include your logs automatically, so please use Report on GitHub whenever Voidstrap shows an error.

Full Changelog: v1.1.2.9...v1.1.3.0

Don't expect Linux support to be as optimal as you think as this is a more early release.

Thanks to everyone helping test Voidstrap, report problems and share feedback in the community.

Your reports help us find issues and improve reliability in future updates.

AppImage users: right click the file, open Properties, enable Executable as Program, then launch it.
