Roblox players have been locked out of the servers today, with a frustrating “connection error” making it impossible to log in and play any Roblox games.
Players have, understandably, been left in a state of shock after trying to log-in today. Some feared Roblox had been “shut down” permanently, a few feared their accounts had been banned, and nearly all fans are reporting they’ve been logged out of accounts across all platforms and cannot load up the official Roblox website.
Typically, when Roblox or any game undergoes planned maintenance, servers are down for around 2-6 hours, depending on the breadth of the update. However, this isn’t the case for the Roblox servers, as this isn’t planned maintenance, and there was no warning about this downtime.
After checking Roblox’s social accounts, Roblox hasn’t yet released an official statement regarding why the servers are down. However, the Roblox server status website has reported that an incident has occurred and that the team has been monitoring the situation since 4:15pm PDT.
After investigating the issue, the devs found the cause and are attempting recovery. The Roblox team is aware that this issue is causing considerable issues for players, such as being dropped from the platform or unable to log in, and is working to get this issue sorted so that the servers return online and players can finally get back into Roblox. But the devs aren’t sure when the servers will be back online, so it looks like we’re in for a waiting game. However, we will keep you posted as we learn more.
