My game currently has 3,700 players in it, and I released a large update to the game fixing many bugs & adding new content

However, I can't find a single updated server, and I released this update about 3 hours ago (released several more since then as well, just to be sure)

Is there any way I can update the servers without losing all my players?

Updates only apply to new servers.

I thought there was, but I don't remember. Why is roblox studio saying i'm not logged in? It's annoying.

@mon
I had that same issue on my laptop the other day, still isn't resolved. Reinstalled about a million times, logged in about 2 million times

And my game has a script to ensure that player stats save, which includes:

game.onclose = function()
wait(3)
end

which ends up making it so that hardly any servers die out since while the server has 0 players it's still open for 3 seconds :/
