Three days after the problems occurred, the Roblox platform servers started working in the same mode

The popular online platform Roblox returned to normal operation three days after the failure occurred.

According to the authors of the gaming service, the problems appeared on October 28, when some users were unable to connect to the platform. Almost immediately, the developers began to look for the causes of the problem, but everything was restored only on October 31st.



The reason for the incident was the increased number of servers in the Roblox data centers. The system was overloaded, although the number of simultaneously connected users did not reach the maximum. On the night of November 1, the developers managed to fix everything. The platform representatives promised to provide more detailed instructions later.

Caring users immediately began to think about the reasons for what happened. Some of them believe that the influx of users due to the Chipotle fast food promotion was to blame, others think that the failure was due to the rebranding of Facebook into Meta - as if Zuckerberg's company was trying to eliminate competitors in this way.
