If your child is screaming because their game stopped working, or you are staring at a “Connection Error” screen, don’t panic. It is not your NBN connection.
Roblox is currently down.
Reports are flooding in from across Australia and the globe indicating a massive server outage affecting millions of players. The most common symptom is the dreaded Error Code 9007 and an inability to log in.
Here is the technical breakdown of what is happening and what you can do.
The Situation: Error 9007 Spikes 📉
According to real-time data from DownDetector and our own server monitoring, Roblox began experiencing critical stability issues around 7:00 PM AEDT.
Users are reporting:
- Login Loops: The app keeps asking for a password but never connects.
- Error 9007: A specific error code related to platform authentication failure.
- Game Disconnects: Players are being kicked out of active servers.
Why is Roblox Down?
While the official Roblox Status page is slow to update, this crash coincides with the start of the holiday traffic surge.
- Server Overload: With schools breaking for holidays and the sheer volume of players logging in simultaneously, the authentication servers likely buckled under the load.
- Authentication Failure: Error 9007 specifically points to the “handshake” between your device and Roblox’s security servers failing.
Can You Fix It? (Try These Steps) 🛠️
While this is a server-side issue (meaning Roblox has to fix it), you can try these steps to force a fresh connection:
- Do NOT Spam Login: Repeatedly clicking “Log In” only adds stress to the server and might get your IP temporarily blocked. Wait 5 minutes between attempts.
- Flush Your DNS: If you are on PC, open Command Prompt and type
ipconfig /flushdns. This clears cached bad data. - Check the “Under 13” Settings: Sometimes, outage restrictions hit accounts under 13 years old first due to privacy filters. Try logging in with a parent account to test visibility.
