On October 28, 2021, Roblox servers began to experience major, platform-wide system disruptions across the website and APIs, leading to website services like the Avatar Editor being unable to load, huge chat issues, and in-experience performance's becoming very slow. Later, many users were kicked from experiences, and, eventually, all users were. Roblox Studio also later began to function improperly due to these issues.
