Roblox shaders on Linux

Vineshade is a lightweight launcher designed for Sober. It's optimized to hit 240 FPS on most hardware.

Our subreddit

VineShade is natively built for Linux/Sober. If you are on a Mac, we recommend using AppleBlox, a lightweight bootstrapper inspired by Bloxstrap.

How to get better graphics on macOS

1. Download AppleBlox.
2. Go to the FastFlags section.
3. Enable these flags for the best experience!
   • FIntRenderShadowIntensity -> 100 (Deeper Shadows)
   • DFIntTaskSchedulerTargetFps -> 240 or more (Unlock FPS)

Note: macOS does not support vkBasalt. Get Parallels, VMware Fusion, or UTM

VineShade is fully compatible with the Steam Deck. It fixes the blur caused by Sober's scaling on the 800p display.
