Anyone else noticed Roblox being completely unplayably broken today? I feel like I'm going insane

As stated above. Was not happening last night, but went to get on a game today and noticed within the span of roughly 30 seconds:

  • Movement is broken. Sometimes it happens for twice as long as I pressed the key for, sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. Feels like instead of directly controlling my character, I’m dragging them around with a magnet that keeps unmagnetizing.
  • Movement issues are about tripled for swimming, plus you get stuck facing certain directions.
  • Camera motion is super rough, pretty much fully doesn’t work. Half the time I go to drag my view around and it instead jumps the opposite direction, or doesn’t move at all.
  • Enormous lag spikes. I mean, HUGE. Nothing works for 5-10 seconds at a time.
  • Unable to open the Roblox menu (ESC) within a game.

Nothing else on my computer is acting up, and I just restarted it, to no avail. I’ve heard of a couple other people today who had similar issues, but not to the point of being completely unplayable, and plenty of people don’t seem to be having problems at all. As far as I know, I’m the only one who got it this bad. Anyone else having this??? Please say I’m not just imagining it

are u on mobile

Played Roblox today. Seems to have been working just fine—or at least by Roblox standards, anyways.

Mac. I found out since making this post that Roblox made an update that broke all scrolling and mouse/trackpad use on Mac, and it has since been patched. I was in fact not going crazy!

this sounds like the sort of thing that happens when the character’s NetworkPriority gets set to something other than yourself on steroids

I think something similar happened to me

Earlier I was testing something in my game to make sure it was working

It worked

On a whim, pull out a completed tool and use it on the testing enemy

Die to the testing enemy

Respawn and can’t use the tool; f9 logs showing that a UI element was apparently not existing (it was very visibly existing)

Have to do some other stuff

Come back a few hours later, resigned to trying to fix something that has different behavior in studio vs ingame

It works perfectly in game

wtf

Update: nope, nevermind, you’re right—players are acting really weird right now.

Nah, that’s just Roblox studio at all times. Welcome to hell.

Already been there.

There’s a reason I only just finished my projectile script today (technically yesterday due to timezones)
