A fast, platform-agnostic and minimal bootstrapper for Roblox and Roblox Studio
Cork was rewritten from the ground up to be as fast and as lightweight as possible, by opting for a compiled language and by dropping components such as the splash screen from the main program.
Whenever a version of Roblox starts being downloaded, Cork auto-selects the fastest mirror by running a small benchmark to attempt to get the fastest possible download speeds.
Cork ships with a built-in Lua interpreter for plugins, allowing great portions of the launcher to be changed and allowing features like automatic DXVK installation to be added relatively easily.
Want to run Roblox with gamescope, inside of distrobox or Box64 for some non-x86 action? Feel like changing some FFlags to mess about? Just do it, the settings are there, it's up to you to tinker.
Felt like trying to get Roblox to run on your Ampere Altra or your Talos II? Good luck with that, but Cork has got you covered on at least getting the launcher built. Every single part of the bootstrapper is modular and does not depend on any specific operating system or environment, compiles on any platform that supports modern versions of C++.
| Operating System | Architecture | Runner | Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | x86_64 | Native | Full |
| Linux | x86_64 | Proton / Wine | Bootstrapper-only |
