What you can do now

  • Start a game from another program. cordial --profile P --play [--place-id N] [--fullscreen] [--set key=value] opens straight into Roblox on that profile, with those settings for that run only. Several can run at once, one per profile. cordial --help lists the exit codes a script can act on. See PartyDeck.
  • PartyDeck split screen. Handlers for a native install and for the Flatpak are in packaging/partydeck/. Each player’s game sees only its own controller. Tested with a stand-in that starts Cordial the way PartyDeck does, not with PartyDeck itself.
  • gamescope works. Inside gamescope the game used to exit at once with no window and no error. It now opens, at full speed.
  • Controllers reach the Flatpak. It could not see /dev/input at all, so no pad ever worked there. It now asks for input devices, which needs Flatpak 1.15.6 or newer; on an older Flatpak the app still runs, without pads, and Controllers says how to grant it.
  • Controllers read correctly. A pad without every standard axis had its right stick read as a trigger and its face buttons read one place out (#113). Cordial now reads the layout the pad declares. Neither change is tested with a real pad yet.
  • Holding a key on X11 no longer restarts hold-to-interact prompts (#106).
  • The camera turns on Hyprland when you hold right click (#56). The cursor stays free while you drag, as it did before 0.26.0; shift lock and first person still lock it. CORDIAL_DRAG_LOCK=1 brings back the old behaviour.
  • Display refresh follows a fast monitor. On a 120 Hz or faster screen the Frame rate limit’s Display refresh now runs at the monitor’s rate instead of 60 (#103). The list also gains 360 and 480 (#101).
  • Roblox 2.702.0.622 loads. It needed a function Cordial did not provide (#110).
  • Save logs for bug reports. Report a Problem → Save logs… writes one .zip with Cordial’s and Roblox’s logs, with your account details removed. The issue forms ask for it.
  • The docs site lists every release, including this one.

​
Also

  • Two tests no longer fail when your umask is 0077, and Roblox’s worker count respects a CPU limit set on Cordial. Thanks to hnrie (#102).

What is still broken

The signed-in startup freeze. Roblox can stop drawing on the loading screen after sign-in. The launcher restarts a client stuck that way, up to twice. You cannot sign in inside gamescope. The game runs on X11 there, which has no sign-in window. Sign each profile in from a normal Cordial window first. PartyDeck’s guest profiles are refused. Hyprland: the cursor moves while you drag the camera. That is the cost of the #56 fix. None of the Hyprland, X11 key-repeat and controller fixes is confirmed by a reporter yet. Movement keys can be dead after joining a game. Move the mouse while the place loads and it does not happen. The automatic fix is still untested (#29). If the launcher process itself is killed, the game goes with it. On the Nintendo Switch, games crash a few seconds in (#85). The rest of the list in the 0.24.0 notes still applies.
