Sometimes, it seems that the user status for people does not update fast enough. This causes the people in-game to show up as “Online”/“Website” instead of actually being in-game like they are, or show them on Studio.
This has some side effects:
- If people are trying to join someone and are on a queue, they will get disconnected for “user left” and have to rejoin the queue from the start
- Someone joining on a outdated page may be led to the wrong game
This has been most seen annoying in the current event, The Haunt, where people are queueing up for servers to get pumpkins.
Right now, I am in-game
But I am being seen as on Website when I see the site.
This behavior typically remains until Roblox pings the status again.
Expected behavior
- I expect it to show my exact status at all times
