After three long days, "Roblox" is finally coming back up! The game itself confirmed the connection status on its social media page.
Interestingly, Twitter posts about the "Roblox" maintenance also teased an amazing home page redesign!
Starting Thursday last week, many "Roblox" players complained about connection issues. Some had trouble launching the game, while others got systematically disconnected. The problem eventually escalated to a server crash.
'Roblox' Outage Lasted for 3 Days
"Roblox" acknowledged the issue on their Twitter page. They promised updates and fixes on their service. According to their official website, some of the maintenance highlights are as follows:
- October 28 (4 PM PDT): Investigating. Many player experience(s) are impacted.
- October 28 (8:44 PM PDT): Identified. We identify the root cause as internal system issue and work on the fix.
- October 29 (12:48 PM PDT): Identified. The team continues active work on full site recovery.
- October 30 (2:17 PM PDT): Identified. We believe we have identified an underlying internal cause of the outage. We're in the process of performing the necessary engineering and maintenance work to get Roblox back up and running. Thanks for your patience.
- October 31 (9:35 AM PDT): Monitoring. We have identified root cause and solution. We are working on getting things back online, and we will keep you updated throughout the day.
- October 31 (12:51 PM PDT): Monitoring. Traffic is being allowed incrementally. (Some), but not all players will have access.
- October 31 (4:45 PM PDT): Resolved. Normal operations are restored.
Bloxy News tweeted the service report on their social media page. They said the whole maintenance period took "3 days, 0 hours and 47 minutes." Although the cause was identified as an "internal server error," developers are still puzzled about how the issue escalated.

How to Fix 'Roblox'
At the time of writing, "Roblox" officially confirmed the server fix. Unlike the initial server-up reports, which only allowed limited access, "Roblox" is now available for all players registered in the game.
"Roblox" did not elaborate on how they fixed the system, so it's hard to determine whether they released a patch update or not. However, interested players are recommended to try their luck and to log in to the system right now.
