ah yes, who remebers the great Roblox outage?

The roblox outage of 2021 was such a fond memory because all of the internet just collapsed right there. Especially for the first day when many asked about their streaks or accounts. I remember playing during it too, everyone's avatars were acting up and it became insanely buggy. I remember this being known as roblox players being grounded for Halloween. Twitter was on fire for real

Roblox just wanted us to touch some grass :/

0:13 that thing sucked. Roblox was down for 3 days and we couldn't do anything about it. I remember sitting and waiting for it to come back on

Those 3 days was scary... all the games we played, the robux we spent. Im glad its still up and running.

Roblox goes down once a week

So essentially, here’s what happened, with some more precise figures. Something around 1.4 million people joined the chipotle burrito maze, which crashed the website’s settings and therefore its ability to show games and allow users to play games (misconfiguration in core resources). This problem was also due to the cloud service provider having issues with Roblox, creating the infamous 78 hour outage of 2021

We are aware that there is an issue for some users attempting to access Roblox. Our team is actively working on it.

WAIT THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO?! Time moves too fast ❤

Already 2 years ago??????? Time flies

A misconfiguration in core resource management refers to an error in the way that resources are allocated and managed within a computer system. This can occur when settings are not properly configured, leading to issues such as poor performance, instability, or security vulnerabilities.

i remember seeing like mm2 get 37 players and other smaller games had 0 players and all that , man that was an intense event

To explain what the blog talked about (I understood this as soon as the blog, post came out) basically someone/some people turned on some weird setting for some services Roblox was using to run clients and load discovery pages. The settings likely did some weird stuff to Roblox and so since they had such a big active player count on the platform at once, it would probably lag to load the configurations and with them trying to fix the platform, they likely only made it worse only for Roblox to close their curtains for a few days.

Also the "misconfiguration in a core reasearch" balh blah thing, means that something really important that managed the website was misconfigured or something involving outdation or a thing like that. Basically one of roblox's critical parts that was part of the servers bugged out and it took a while to fix it because it had to be entirely fixxed.

What is funny is that exactly at that time, I went out with my family on a trip. When I got back, the issue was solved, but for the exact 3 days, I didn’t even know it was shut down for that time.

I remember it came back to life the night of Halloween. When I was done trick or treating I checked my phone and sure enough it was online and running. Best part is, we went to Chipotle afterwards and got "boorritos" to celebrate.

I was recommended here while listening to the song “Dupe - Balling “ 🔥🔥🔥

5:54 it means that they messed up coding a new update

I thought of this incident as of a few months ago…time flies by.

That was the worst day ever of Roblox history ):

basically it means a core service that plays an important role in running roblox crashed and caused all of this

It feels like it was only a couples months ago that happened honestly- Can’t believe its been almost two years

U got me for a second that u are Digito 😂 Nice Praaaank! 🎉

5:48 you showed us a blog back on January saying that a core thing, that runs roblox, changed code for other games, and roblox wasn’t meant for it… so it crashed, until they reverted it.

5:53 it means there was a missinuput in the codes of the recource core, which can lead to data loss, so thats why there were refunds

I'm like 99% sure that it wasn't the burrito event from Chipotle. Roblox was updating their servers or something and there was an issue.

I remember this outage thankfully I was busy doing other things when this happened so I wasn’t affected too much

I have a really awesome story related to this event. So a few weeks before I saw a random kid say that there birthday was on Halloween and they were gonna have a roblox themed birthday party

I can’t believe that was 2 years ago man. That felt like yesterday when I couldn’t log on to Roblox and when it came back I played piggy instantly.

We should make a anniversary for this very day.

All of the shutdowns, and me not being to play for personal reasons, and sometimes from stupid bans, at this point me not being to play for days is now normal and used to it, now 3 days is normal for me

bro the timeline (2:36) video looks like the charnobyl timeline video

God, i remember this moment two years ago, it was horrifying. It happened somewhere near the end of October or midway through October. I literally got scared that my account would get deleted.

I remmber those dreadful days of not playing Roblox . I first heard about it from my friends , who were obsessed with roblox.

this roblox outage changed the way i played roblox. those three days made me lose my 289 day login streak in adopt me. have not opened adopt me since that day and only have been playing mm2 and murd vs sheriffs. have not seen the appeal and gave up since.

Why’d no one think of making a little event for this chaos

Roblox outage really giving most of the kids the 5 stages of grief:

i remember this, i was playing meepcity then realized that it got shutdown so i didnt leave for a long time but i ended up having to leave after a while

This made me change my avatar too all the chipotle items lol

Those were the good days man also i remember kreek and other KZfaqrs streaming 3 days continuously

I remember this, youtube was flooded with myths and videos of it, people played minecraft and different games. It happened around halloween

Misconfiguration in cores, it was a wrong code or value inside the core which started the servers to struggle to handle inside the core, as of hours of finding the problem they fixed it.

I remember this, i think this was during Halloween time as well. The Roblox Outage 2021. I remember my sister coming up to me and telling me it’s back up.

That was 2 years ago? Man time really flies!! I remember it like yesterday😢😢

I remember this. saddest 3 days of my life, barely survived.

0:24 two years ago?… man I feel old

Broo i remember the 2021 roblox outage so nostalgic i saw that i couldn't go play it and news about it were everywhere man

those 3 days felt like 20 years to me

3:21 yeaa, when i was a mobile player at that time, when i couldn't log in, I was really tensed, i searched up online and i found some vids

That's crazy it was already 2 years ago. Time really flies

During the Roblox outage, my family moved to a different house and the Wi-Fi hadn’t been hooked up yet so I didn’t even KNOW Roblox shut down

0:27 *gets traumatic flashbacks*

That was 2 years ago already, time flies man

For me, the funny thing about this, I was in Dubai at the time, and moving to the next hotel while it went down, so I didn’t know it until night time.

I remember throwing up because I get nauseous from slightly yellow lighting and I was just sitting there, waiting.

*In Simpler Terms* In January 2022, Roblox, an online gaming platform, experienced a problem that caused the site to go down. After investigating what happened, the Roblox staff wrote a report explaining that the problem was caused by a mistake in how some important parts of the site were set up. Because those parts were so important to how the site worked, it took a long time to figure out what was wrong and fix it.

I remember this outage, On the first day of this outage I didnt play, the 2nd day of the outage, I went to play rblx and noticed it was down. Then i saw Kreek streaming and he entertained me for the 2 days of the outage. I can still remember one of the major things Kreek did in the stream, he went outside & touched grass, and very quickly after he heard a dog barking and went back in lol. 😂

my heart broke during the roblox outage, i had to play minecraft for 3 days straight, not interacting with your friends do any of yall feel the same?

tbh the roblox outage of 2021 was so fun it has so many memories like when kreek dressed as minitoon and minitoon dressed as kreek those 3 days were the most fun tbh

I’m pretty sure a misconfiguration in a core resource service means (in this case for the discovery page or whatever) the main part of the thing that lets you join games and everything had a error and because roblox servers are old it’s gonna take longer but that’s what I think it means Idk tho

I remember when the website was on the decline, I was one of the very last players who could play anything, it was amazing, so many games with 0 players on the front page, but the main thing, the piggy fan game Bunny's Funeral was there, last game I played before the entire site went down, it was so nostalgic, it was perfect...

This bring back memories.

Dang- I remember when this happened, MiniToon post-poned his event. How was that TWO YEARS AGO!? Time flies by fast!

5:48 this meant that they put wrong configs in the servers and the servers freaked out.

The platform servers outage is meant that more than 200k players joined a game. If talking about Brookhaven, people join at random amount of time, but people joined Chipotle game got more than 200k at the SAME TIME, that caused roblox servers to crash down.

I was 9 when this happene,and I thought this was *the Great Depression*

This doesn’t seem like it was 2 years ago. Time flies.

Let's get him to 8M! He deserves it!

man when that happened to all of us it almost felt like a mass extinction to me

what extensions does this man have to make Roblox look so clean?

I remember when that chipotle game released and I almost became one of the first 30,000 people to play

To make it easy to understand basically what caused the outage was the fact that Roblox’s server that transmit the signal to open the roblox player on your computer would automatically check if the servers were online except in this case they were but the check failed and this lead to an infinite loop of checks that kept slowing down Roblox’s servers to the point of crashing.

I remember this, it feels like it was yesterday not 2 years ago lol.

and I thought the 3 day outage was bad, now with the byfron update i haven't been able to play roblox for 3 weeks.

april fools 2012 shutdown: *why you gotta do me dirty like that.*

i actually remembered this. i was ingame when it was going down and people weren't able to send things through the chat. then i got logged out and thought "it's probably going to be up tomorrow, whatever" but obviously that didn't happen until later :)) i also actually dreamed about it being back up too..

When it went down it was some of the best and bad days of my life

that was 2 years ago today bc i remember it coming back on halloween

I remember the memes of people saying roblox servers were potatoes connected with wires

Lucky this happened during new year because at least people were spending time with families I would’ve hated it if it happened during school days 😂

I was playing rise of nations while the outage began and since the game doesn't feature avatars, me and the other players were totally oblivious and for the first 2 hours, we were doing our normal business like trading, buying land and conquest. By the third hour, people began to experience problems and we were one of the last RON servers before the game crashed and all connections were lost.

I remember when everyone thought Roblox would make VERY REALISTIC avatars and everyone was freaking out

it's funny the same day roblox crashed i got a new figure mystery box and couldn't use the code till roblox came back online

wow it's been 2 yrs? time flies!

Remembered it like it was yesterday. At this point I was just coming home from a long day at school to just play one of my favorite games ever. Came back to that iconic blue screen that reads as followed,"We're making things more awesome. be back soon." I assumed that they were going to be doing a big update or something. But curiously, I was wondering why I wasn't able to play the game while it was updating. I just assumed that they closed the website for a little while so they could have some time to release it. But little did I know, the hours of chaos going on while I was at school. So I went to KZfaq and that's when the realization hit me. The website was having some major problems that you normally wouldn't see even on a Saturday. It was so bad that none of the games, your friends, your groups, your followers and so much more wouldn't even be able to load. At that point, the Roblox website was completely unplayable and Roblox had to temporarily pull the plug for three days until they could finally get everyone back online. Craziest 3 days of a life time.

I remember when this happened I had Covid through all of so I could just watch things as they went down

Omg I feel so old I can’t believe the great Roblox outage was already 2 years ago

Kreek it would awesome if you saw my documentary about Roblox founder Erik Cassel!

2:27 ... meanwhile blox fruits having an average of 600k pkayers 24/7...

the outage got me dying

AH, I remember this Me and my friends would freak out like what happened so had to play other games instead of roblox but still a tragic expirience

Live was great Kreek!!❤️

I remember this like yesterday so actually people immediately blamed adopt me for some reason then some noticed that many people joined the chipotle event at once which then went on to blame chipotle and I forget if I was there the day it happened but anyways when you said 2021 I was like were all getting old in the snap of a finger

It been so long and i didn't even notice there's Chipotle game

I remember when everyone on the bedwars discord server was losing their minds during the great Roblox outage

Hey Kreek, from the stream. Your game was an absolute blast!! It’s gonna be great tbh. I also have a suggestion, when someone wins, there should be another platform rising with a winning chair and with the fireworks! (This video was also great btw, finished it like all of ur other uploads) keep on being a great KZfaqr!!!!🎉

5:43 It says January 20, 2022 It was my birthday

i remember there were like still 20 people playing games during this. LOL

I remember this so much. It was right whenever I got my first ever gaming laptop... First time ever playing it on that and boom it popped up

does anyone feel the pain failing getting into kreek's stream?
