Roblox morning briefing — October 24, 2026: terrain's speed boost pulled after an iOS crash, and The Hollow added four rewards
Roblox switched off its new terrain performance gains 29 hours after launch when iOS players crashed, The Hollow's reward list grew from nine badges to thirteen, and server error logs now open Studio at the exact line.
Roblox turned off the memory and speed improvements from its new terrain release at 03:09 this morning, 29 hours after putting them live, because the release was crashing some players on iOS. 1
The Hollow ran its second night, with Twisted Dandy as the monster, and the event's reward list grew from nine badges to thirteen. 23
This edition covers the 24 hours to 08:00 on Saturday 24 October. Times are Central European, CEST until Sunday 25 October and CET after.
Roblox pulled terrain's speed gains 29 hours after launch
Custom Terrain Materials left Early Access on Thursday at 22:00. The release offered up to 62 paint-on materials, with Roblox's benchmarks of 90% lower CPU memory overhead and 45% lower meshing latency. 1
The staff post that went up at 03:09 today says the release caused a crash for some iOS players while terrain streamed in live games. A fix exists and will ship in an upcoming release. 1
Until that release reaches every platform, Roblox has switched off the new terrain memory and performance optimizations in live experiences. New servers take the change; servers already running keep their behaviour until they restart. 1
Custom terrain materials still work in Studio and in published games, publishing larger terrain still works, and Studio and Team Create are untouched. 1
What changed is speed inside live games. Published experiences fall back to the previous terrain system and lose the memory and performance gains until the fix is out. 1
Roblox expects a few weeks, because mobile app updates reach players slowly. Places, materials and published versions need no action from creators. 1
The launch thread had 83 posts and 4,011 views by 08:05, up from 57 posts when the feature shipped. 1
Shorts angle: three timestamps carry this one. Put Thursday 22:00, then 03:09 today, then the words "a few weeks" on screen in that order, and let the audience do the maths.
The Hollow's reward list grew to thirteen on night two
Roblox posted the second night at 20:51 yesterday: "you can't stay in the elevator forever. tonight, Twisted Dandy is waiting for you in The Hollow." 2
The post had 82,348 views and 1,418 likes eleven hours later. Twisted Dandy is Dandy's World's monster in the event, one of the nine Roblox named this week. 24
The hub's badge list held nine rewards when Friday's edition read it, and thirteen at 08:12 today. 3 The four additions are Witches Brew-nado, Haunted Harvest Crown, Reeling Petal Garland and Fuwatty Side Satchel.
All thirteen badges were created on 21 October, and the four new ones began paying out in the past day. Almost every award each of them holds came inside that window. 3
| Badge | Friday 08:15 | Saturday 08:12 | Added |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little Plus-tergeist | 2,329,274 | 4,378,831 | 2,049,557 |
| Lord Umberhallow BLOXikin | 793,325 | 1,782,810 | 989,485 |
| All-Seeking Antlers | 164,882 | 910,436 | 745,554 |
| Reeling Petal Garland | — | 685,904 | 685,904 |
| The Beasthammer | 94,701 | 670,045 | 575,344 |
| Witches Brew-nado | — | 614,689 | 614,689 |
| Haunted Harvest Crown | — | 358,539 | 358,539 |
| Gourdlord: The Entangled | 23,678 | 196,880 | 173,202 |
| Fuwatty Side Satchel | — | 173,870 | 173,870 |
| Spotlight Specter | 59,443 | 122,373 | 62,930 |
| Quack-o'-Lantern | 42,704 | 107,527 | 64,823 |
| Phantom in the Code | 45,856 | 93,969 | 48,113 |
| Incorporeal Incorporated | 31,172 | 72,416 | 41,244 |
The nine launch rewards moved too, and the scarcest grew fastest against their own starting counts. The Beasthammer multiplied by seven and Gourdlord: The Entangled by eight. 3
Across all thirteen rewards, the awards handed out went from about 3.6 million on Friday morning to 10.2 million this morning. 3
The hub has 41,275,706 visits, against 14,745,209 on Friday. The number playing at 08:11 was 36,440, down from 64,148 at the same hour yesterday. 5
Three creator streams sit on the hub's rail. Twisted Dandy pairs with LimaMosca at 01:00 on Sunday, Biter with Vani and Kyle at 16:00 on Sunday, and The Deer with Bundun at 23:00 on Monday. 6
Shorts angle: open on the Beasthammer's count on Friday and cut to today's, with the difference typed on screen. 575,344 players cleared it between Friday morning and this morning.
Server error logs now open Studio at the exact line
The announcement went up at 22:03 last night and changes what a link does inside Creator Hub's server error logs. 7
Each frame of a stack trace now shows the script path, the function name and the line number as a link. Clicking one opens Studio at the place version where the error was logged, on that script and that line. 7
Roblox also added a
structuredStackTrace field to the Server Management Service log resource. Each frame carries Line, FunctionName, ScriptPath, ScriptUniqueId and IsDynamic, so a studio can parse errors with its own tooling. 7Two limits are in the post's FAQ. Errors raised by Roblox itself carry no trace, and frames marked
IsDynamic stay unclickable because a script cloned at runtime has no stable reference to open. 7
The post drew 78 likes and 1,118 views by 08:05. 7
Shorts angle: break a game on purpose, then fix it from the log page in one click. The jump from browser to the exact Studio line is the whole clip.
Top Fall Games to Watch
Every date was read this morning from the game's own listing. Times are Central European, CEST today and CET from Sunday.
- The Hollow — Twisted Dandy streams with LimaMosca at 01:00 on Sunday, and Biter with Vani and Kyle at 16:00 on Sunday. 6 Pitch: film your own run at the same minute the streamer's round starts and cut between the two screens.
- Tower Defense Simulator — Solar Requiem Night III is live, and Night IV opens at 17:00 on Friday 30 October. 8 Pitch: Night III is still running, so film its last wave now and the audience meets Night IV already knowing what it has to beat.
- Adopt Me! — Admin Abuse runs at 18:00 today, and 2D Tuesday returns at 00:00 on Wednesday. 9 Pitch: the admin round hands out free items, so film what a new account walks away with in ten minutes.
- Dandy's World — "Only Two Weeks Left!" is open now, and "Final Week of Halloween!" starts at 20:00 on Friday 30 October. 10 Pitch: Twisted Dandy is the monster everyone is meeting in The Hollow tonight, so film its home game while the audience has it in mind.
- Dress To Impress — Tales of the Dark King opens at 17:00 today. 11 Pitch: film a winning outfit in HALLOWEEN! this afternoon, then the same brief against the new quest tonight.
- Animal Hospital — Halloween Part 2 now opens at 20:00 on Saturday 31 October; the card read Tuesday 27 October yesterday. 12 Pitch: the move puts Part 2 on Halloween night itself, so film one clean shift now and hold it for the comparison.
