Fortnite, Roblox, League of Legends Servers Down as Cloudflare Falters

Gamers have been bit with a major obstacle as Fortnite, Roblox and many other services are down once again thanks to another Cloudflare issue.

Last month saw Cloudflare see a major system disruption with major sites going down as a result.

Now it seems as though Cloudflare, which is responsible for the biggest networks on the internet, is dealing with issues once again.

As a result, some of the world’s most populated games such as Fortnite, Roblox, and League of Legends are not accessible at this time (9am GMT, 5 December).

At the time of writing, Cloudflare has revealed that it is experiencing “internal service degradation” but has not provided a potential time-frame for when it will be fixed.

However, there is no denying that this has caused a major disruption. Other services impacted, according to DownDetector, include Vinted, LinkedIn, HSBC, JustEat, AWS, Zoom, and Shopify.

This comes just two weeks after Cloudflare faced a major issue that saw the site taken down for multiple hours.

Are You Getting the Same Error Message?

Now it seems as though the same issue has occurred as users report being met with a “500 internet service area” when loading up particular sites.

Luckily, some sites that were affected last month seem to not be facing the same issues today.

With the company offering web infrastructure services that help provide power to some of the world’s biggest websites, Cloudflare facing any sort of outage will affect us all.

Now with Fortnite, League of Legends, and Roblox - some of the world’s biggest games - being affected, those who wished to settle down with a gaming session this morning are set to be sorely disappointed.

“Shows how much centralized points can kill trust and UX, even big platforms aren’t immune to latency and outages,” one user over on Twitter said following the news.

“Me finally getting a win and then getting booted with this red error message on Fortnite,” another user added.

“I hope it still counts.”

We do not yet know when the issue will be fixed but it is probably a sign that some of our major websites should perhaps become self-sufficient from Cloudflare in the future.
