Myself and many other users in my group are having an issue with joining servers that appears to crop up from time to time. Whenever I try to follow a friend to a game or join a server manually through the server list, it’ll just infinitely say Requesting Server. This happens at any game, not just my own/my group’s. I noticed it when I tried following Nexx into Phantom Forces during the ROBLOX Creator Show livestream, and I’ve had it happen in the past two months as well.
Another part of this is that it seems to affect many users at once - there’s at least 4 or 5 of us at the moment who are unable to join servers.
If this is the same problem as the thread you linked, that problem usually relates to decent amounts of very large parts being in your game. I don’t know if it ever ended up being fixed as I’ve since changed my building habits to avoid it, though.
In that case, I don’t believe it’s the same issue that you linked. Either way it still sounds like a massive problem and might be related to the large amounts of complaints I’ve been getting from people about not being able to join my games without insta-crashing (or freezing, not sure which as I’ve never been able to repro).
