[0MAR280]

Another great feature was added, Awesome!

Sometime need to wait for a new server to start up But now we can can join server faster!
It’s not a big update but it’s good update!

[MaybeHoshi (BarelyHoshi)]

Golly!
This seems like a GOOD update!

[SuperPat77]

No impact to soft server shutdowns

[supertroopa17 (supertroopa)]

What a jolly change. Just in time for this festive season. I’m jubilated.

[aabols2010 (GoIden)]

This good! Now lets do this with Studio

[DanWasTakenAltt (Dandoesstuff)]

i just tested this and oh my god. it was instant.

[bluebxrrybot (blueberry)]

Well, it seems to have made no difference! Servers still take a few moments to be created.

(edit Jan 3. 2024): Still not working.

Could this prewarming result in buggy servers in games where they depend on player quantity || the guarantee that there’s a player in-game?

For example, could Round-based games be affected by this? If not, what does this even affect?

[Sushiriceforlife]

Does this work for private servers as well? Or just new public ones? Sorry if it’s mentioned above tldr

[SuperPat77]

@Swetch29 We don’t run scripts until the first player is about to join to maintain backwards compatibility. As a player, the only thing you should notice is that you were able to join the server faster. Especially for round-based games, which typically have a teleport that creates a new reserved server first

@Sushiriceforlife Yes, this works for private/VIP servers, public servers, and reserved servers

Announce does not mean release. Please don’t complain. It does say enabled but there currently is a threshold mentioned.

That’s great to hear, thank you. My efforts to make the game more efficient

[Antny_Dev (Ant)]

Awesome! This will be great for quickly entering games! Thanks, Roblox!

[Waru339]

This feature is a big improvement for the Roblox Community, with a way faster loading of the game, we won’t waste more time waiting and gameplay will already be ready to have fun.

[SmileD3v (Smile)]

Splendid. Let’s hope they don’t manage to mess this up somehow.

[TimRuncorn (Runcorn)]

Cool to see this, keep it up Roblox

Did server prewarming got disabled? Private servers seems to take a lot longer to load now.
