Every time I try to join a game it loads everything until it gets to "WAITING FOR CHARACTER" It does that and puts me in a spectator mode. After a while just says "This Game has Shut down" Does this for every single online game. I can only play solo games. This happened to me after an update on Roblox. Please give me your suggestions.

It's the new site layout! This site layout has been making my internet non-responsive. I hate this layout. The toolbar following the page is annoying! I liked the other ROBLOX better!

I liked the other Roblox better to I read about your problem and it's because of the new update. I hope Roblox takes note of these forums and try to fix it with an update restoring the old lay out.

Yep, are you experiencing lag on the site by any chance, when you scroll, and freezing after leaving a game?

Now that I don't have. I think this update did different things to different people. I heard one other person with a super fast computer is also lagging terribly also. This update gave many negative effects.

I have been having a slightly different problem. So I start a game the screen darkens and tries to load. A new blank window opens but in a few seconds, it closes leaving the screen partially darkened until I hit cancel. I tried again and again but the same problem occurs. Is it the website, servers etc. or am I doing something wrong.

I have it, and these solutions don't work:

1. Using a different account.
2. Reinstalling ROBLOX.
3. Playing as a Guest.
4. Using Internet Explorer or Chrome instead.
5. Shutting the computer down.
6. Turning the firewall off.

Personally, I think it is caused by the games relevance update, as whenever I join a game the list is not affected. I think that they should fix it by tomorrow, as it is a major problem.

It usually has nothing to do with the browser or ROBLOX.
Often, you need to just reboot your router so you get a new IP address.
Or you can try getting a side host at [dyndns][1].
