"We know you're having issues using Roblox right now," read a message Tweeted by the official Roblox account yesterday afternoon. The enormously popular and controversial game creation platform went offline yesterday - and it remains offline this morning. "To the best of our knowledge there has been no loss of player persistence data, and your Roblox experience should now be fully back to normal," Baszucki said. Expect more details on what that means soon. Roblox will also implement a policy to make its creator community "economically whole" as a result of this outage. We were able to fully restore service as of this afternoon."īaszucki said Roblox will publish a post-mortem with more details once the company has completed its analysis, along with actions it will take to prevent this from happening again. Upon successfully identifying this root cause, we were able to resolve the issue through performance tuning, re-configuration, and scaling back of some load.

"Due to the difficulty in diagnosing the actual bug, recovery took longer than any of us would have liked. The result was that most services at Roblox were unable to effectively communicate and deploy.

Rather the failure was caused by the growth in the number of servers in our datacenters. This was not due to any peak in external traffic or any particular experience. "A core system in our infrastructure became overwhelmed, prompted by a subtle bug in our backend service communications while under heavy load.

"This was an especially difficult outage in that it involved a combination of several factors," David Baszucki, Roblox founder and CEO, said in a blog post.
