The moment the game is started nothing will load because it spikes up to 9-25 Mbps

My wifi at home is only 8-9 Mbps

Something must be wrong that roblox is taking up that much of my network but I have yet to find a solution

BEFORE YOU POST:
Roblox usually runs at >1Mbps, more like 2-450 Kbps

I have reset my router
I have redownloaded roblox
I have lowered graphics to minimum (barely any difference in network usage, slightly more but still negligible)

any other suggestions

Also while ingame the Network recieve number flies anywhere between 12-28/s @ ~1.2-3msec

The msec number is genearlly low (1-2) and sometimesi spikes to 3.0 (which is good)

I've never had an issue regarding my network/wifi before like the past month-2 months and since then half the time roblox is literally unplayable

It really depends on the game, it's the game's fault due to it's size and content.
This will vary game to game, just wait it out, the game just simply loading itself.



Good enough

How do you know its roblox's fault?

As far as i know wi-fi and roblox doesn't work like that, You should try turning off your wi fi for like 1 day

Tried an Ethernet cable?
If that doesn't work, you'll have to upgrade your internet. 9 Mbps is pretty low for today's standards. 20+ Mbps is the norm in most countries.

you people are not reading the main page

9mbps is decent if not good connectino in most areas (of america??)

i literally knew people were going to be ignorant and not read the entire thing so i said in the main post

"BEFORE YOU POST:
Roblox usually runs at >1Mbps, more like 2-450 Kbps"

it runs at less than >1Mbps but for some reason something happened and its running at much higher than that

please dont say "get a better connection" as thats ignorant of anyhting in this post

Asset downloading. Roblox does have to download audio files meshing, union meshes, textures. As others you said, you need to wait it out, or get a better connection. There's no away around it.

Roblox certainly can't run on a 3G connection any more.
