I'm suddenly getting a bunch of issues right now. If I try to join any game, it says "This game has shut down." or "Error while connecting. ID-17" or something. I really hope what ever is wrong gets fixed. :/ I like playing these games with my friends.

Have you tried rolling your face on your keyboard?

I think most of us are having this problem. I am getting The game has shut down. ROBLOX just released a new update, perhaps you have not updated or the server you're attempting to join is not uptodate.

Everyone updates at the same time, or the next time they open a game. It's automatic.

Not to mention, it's EVERY game.

Could be. Could be a DDOS.

Two points. 1) Not all clients update at the same time, and sometimes ROBLOX glitches and doesn't update the first run. 2) It is not a DDOS. ROBLOX uses Amazon AWS for their servers, and Amazon has the most advanced firewalls. Never once have I seen a DDOS crash them.

Doesn't mean that a DDOS can't happen. Also, I've been paying games fine since the last update and it's just now happening.

It may be your computer's firewall, or Roblox's updates.

It's definitely not my computer. I made sure that ROBLOX will run fine on here. It's something wrong with ROBLOX itself.

Zanek... I hope you know, the way that ROBLOX uses the Amazon AWS service is a Run-On-Demand mode. There's over 5,000,000 different nodes that would need to be DDOS'd, at LEAST, to stop ROBLOX service.

Diamond..... That doesn't mean it's not possible. Now don't turn this into an argument.

Also A DDOS for 5,000,000 nodes means there's 5,000,000 IP addresses, and possibly more. There's 4.29 billion IPs in the world. One IP address costs a minimum of $5 from any ISP. That's $25 million to DDOS amazon? I think not. That won't happen, ever.

Anyway, this HAS happened before. I think it's just a waiting game for the Roblox Servers to re-stabilize. It must have been a bugged update or something.

@Kiora The client and servers are different versions, that is the problem. ROBLOX needs to update the servers - not an easy process.

Well, I wasn't that far off then, I guess. I think last time this happened, it took around a half hour to sort itself out.
