About

Chaser is the missing cockpit for Sober: switchable performance profiles, a curated risk-tagged FastFlag catalog, one-click presets, MangoHud and environment control, and automatic config backups, the launcher layer Windows players know from Bloxstrap, built natively for Linux with GTK4. Chaser checks every FastFlag against the Roblox engine's own symbols and against Roblox's allowlist, so it can tell you which of your flags are live, which the client silently ignores, and which were never real flags at all. Chaser never modifies the Roblox client. It edits Sober's own configuration surface, preserves everything it doesn't manage, and backs up before every change.
