How come a "minimal GUI app" accesses network?

How come a "minimal GUI app" accesses network?

read the log

[bjorn3]

roblox is not a minimal GUI app.

[bugaevc]

A minimal GUI app would be something like this:

import AppKit

let window = NSWindow()
window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)

RunLoop.current.run()

and that does work under Darling :slightly_smiling_face:

[phoenix277yt]

Roblox has anti-cheat and can detect (probably) this.

[nonetrix]

running it under wine has been a issue for a while I don't know what the issue is for the wine side of things is, but someone should look into it might be a easy fix just not enough interest maybe, but I imagine roblox is just too advanced for darling and it will most likely stay that way for a while.

I really want to see this project grow since games that might not work on wine might work fine on darling in the far future.

for now only way to play the game is under a VM or anbox which both don't have GPU acceleration unless you pass a GPU to the VM.
