Players reported numerous problems to the gaming platform at 12:37 pm EDT. Many claim that the issue began when the metaverse removed the ability to disable weight animation. This was a silent update that had a major influence on every title on the gaming platform due to broken animation.

The update also had an impact on game developers, who had to rework every single animation in their games to avoid breakage. Some took matters into their own hands, resolving animation issues in their respective games.

Glitches have become common in numerous titles, causing many players to experience severe bugs and unpleasant gameplay. This became the leading factor in the pervasive server outage and disruption. Roblox Corporation hasn't given an official statement about the issue as of now.


What issues are Robloxians facing?

Users are experiencing two major issues: connection errors and severe lags. Some were kicked off the server, while others saw a white screen appear on their monitors. Many users also reported that they were unable to log in or out of their accounts and could only see their friends list.

According to reports, games on the metaverse were not launching, and players were greeted with an error message whenever they attempted to launch any title. Some players were also concerned that their accounts had been hacked as a consequence of these issues.

Several users were also concerned that their accounts had been hacked as a result.


How long will it take to fix the outage?

When Roblox went offline for three days last year, all players could do was wait. The server is currently undergoing maintenance, and one can expect it to be repaired as soon as possible.

Hence, players are advised to be patient and wait for the issue to be fixed. All of the aforementioned problems will most likely be resolved by Monday.
