Avatar Service Down & Game Crashes After 5 seconds

Very recently (within the last hour or so) - Roblox’s avatar service is down, and games will completely freeze after about 5 seconds - or when you respawn. There’s no repo steps, as this seems to be a bug that happens 100% of the time currently. Everyone’s avatars, including my own, are rendered as the default Noob. This occurs in-game, on the website, and inside of Studio.

Pilfering Pirates (Experience)

Avatar Editor (Website)

System Information:

Ryzen 5 3600
Radeon 5600 XT
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws Memory

Expected behavior

Avatars should load their appearance, as determined by the player or the developer.
The avatar editor should also work.

The Avatar Service Disruption started not to long ago and is coincidental timeing with the Anti-Cheat rolling out. The Roblox app crashing is something I’ve experienced all week and is very annoying as well I know a ton of other people has reported the same issue

I have a similar issue using avatar service in my game. I get an HTTP 503 error

Experiencing this issue across my games, players can load in (we have autocharacterload disabled), but loading in their character with :LoadCharacter completely breaks the game.


Same situation here, avatar service is down at this moment (HTTP error 503).

Our team is currently working on resolving the Avatar issues. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.

It’s really broke now. I cannot save my place to the cloud in studio. I’m getting a HTTP 404 error, endpoint not found and a bunch of HTML stuff.

Hi All,

Our team has resolved this issue, Avatars should now be loading in game.

Still getting the issue with the avatar editor.

Hi SaturianNightmare,

It looks like the Avatar API still has a 0.8% error rate, our team is continuing to work on resolving this issue.
