Server-wide issues: code not working, can't build

Last updated: April 15, 2026

Multiple students on the same server experience issues simultaneously — code stops working, building fails, or the server becomes unresponsive.

Symptoms

  • Multiple students affected (not just one)
  • Build tools stop working for everyone
  • Code Builder scripts stop executing
  • May happen suddenly after the server has been running for a while

Possible Causes

  • Server memory pressure (too many builds, scripts, or bots active)
  • A student's Scratch code caused an infinite loop or excessive resource use
  • Roblox server-side issue (DataStore errors, HTTP timeouts)
  • Script error cascade — one error triggers others

Workaround

  1. Create a new Buzzy code and have everyone join the fresh server
  2. Student builds are saved to their account — they won't lose work
  3. Note the old server's Buzzy code so the team can investigate what went wrong
  4. If this keeps happening, reduce the number of active scripts/bots on the server
