Fedora 33 : Roblox and Wine.

Because I tried to install this platform, I will show you what works and what doesn't. 
At this moment Roblox Player cannot be run with Wine. 
I tested two ways to run it.
First is the roblox-linux-wrapper and the second is the direct way to install RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe.
The roblox-linux-wrapper works but you will get this error
The install process is simple:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ git clone https://github.com/roblox-linux-wrapper/roblox-linux-wrapper.git

[mythcat@desk ~]$ whereis wine
wine: /usr/bin/wine /usr/lib/wine /usr/lib64/wine /usr/share/wine /usr/share/man/man1/wine.1.gz

[mythcat@desk ~]$ roblox-linux-wrapper/rlw
> main: Sourcing /home/mythcat/roblox-linux-wrapper/data/rlw-core.sh
> wineinitialize: sourcing /home/mythcat/.rlw/wine_choice
Another way is to download the EXE file and run it with Wine.
[mythcat@desk ~]$ wget http://setup.rbxcdn.com/RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe
wine RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe 
...
You can try to start a game on browser , select the Roblox Player and will get the same error. A good news is about Roblox Studio, this works very well:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ wget https://setup.rbxcdn.com/RobloxStudioLauncherBeta.exe
[mythcat@desk ~]$ wine RobloxStudioLauncherBeta.exe
My video card NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) is not very good with this application , but works.
