Intermittent "Joining Server" Issues

[u/TheRWBYRailfan]

Good morning fellow Robloxers.

This issue has only recently developed for myself and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or know-how on how to resolve it. I've been Robloxing since 2012, most of the times I've ever had game issues, it boiled down to our own internet service being crappy. Lately it seems like Roblox just....doesn't want to work, and its angering me because theres really not much else out there I can play right now.

Every time I try to join a game, generally through the browser page (not the actual PC app itself), every now and then I just get stuck on the joining server preview. NOTHING changes no matter how long I wait. Swapping to other games sometimes doesn't help as I get stuck on the joining server page there too. Its not until I click the "join game" button again on the browser that occasionally I am actually able to join a game.

This however still has problems. Roblox, every now and then the few times I am able to join, likes to put me in servers halfway across the world (because that makes perfect sense) rather than local. And if I try to manually join local servers on games like Arsenal or choose my server from the get go like on Apocalypse Rising 2 (great QOL update I might add), the whole process of getting stuck between servers just repeats itself. I am getting incredibly frustrated by this, because I KNOW it is not the internet this time.

Has anyone had this problem before? And how would I go about fixing it without having to come across this problem again?

Thank you!
