Quick answer: Most Roblox error codes point to one of three problems: your connection (277, 279), the game or server (267, 524, 610) or Roblox’s own services (529). Start by checking your internet, restarting Roblox and your device, and checking whether Roblox is having an outage. Codes linked to a specific game usually clear when you join a different server.
| Connection errors | 277, 279 |
|---|---|
| Kicked or not allowed | 267, 524 |
| Roblox service issue | 529 |
| Game unavailable | 610 |
| First fix | Restart Roblox and your device |
| Check outages | Roblox status page |
Quick steps
- Restart. Close Roblox fully and restart your device.
- Check your connection. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or restart your router.
- Check Roblox status. Look at Roblox's official status page for outages.
- Try another server. Join the game again or pick a different server.
Error 267: you were kicked
Error 267 means the game removed you. A game’s own scripts or moderators can kick players, for example for being idle, breaking the game’s rules or when a server shuts down for an update. Rejoin the game; if it keeps happening, read the game’s rules or check whether the game is being updated. Using exploits or unauthorised tools can also trigger kicks.
Error 277: lost connection
Error 277 appears when your connection to the game server drops. It is usually a network problem on your side. Restart your router, move closer to Wi-Fi, switch to a wired connection on PC, or try mobile data. Closing other apps that use a lot of bandwidth, such as video streams or downloads, also helps.
Error 279: failed to connect
Error 279 means Roblox could not connect you to the game at all. Common causes are a weak connection, a firewall or antivirus blocking Roblox, or a network that blocks games, such as some school or work Wi-Fi. Allow Roblox through your firewall, try another network, and make sure your browser or app is up to date. Very large games can also time out on slower devices.
Error 524: not authorised to join
Error 524 often appears when you try to join a server you are not allowed in, such as a private server or a game restricted by age, privacy or group settings. Check your privacy settings, ask the server owner for an invite, or join a public server instead.
Error 529: Roblox service problem
Error 529 usually means Roblox’s services are having trouble. There is little you can do except wait. Check Roblox’s official status page or social accounts for updates, then try again later. Clearing your browser cache can help if the error continues after Roblox reports everything is fixed.
Error 610: could not join the game
Error 610 happens when a game cannot be joined, for example if it was made private, is under maintenance or was removed. Try again later, or join through the game page instead of a friend’s link.
General fixes that work for most errors
- Restart Roblox and your device.
- Update the Roblox app and your device’s software.
- Restart your router or switch networks.
- Clear the browser cache or reinstall the app.
- Turn off VPNs, which can cause connection errors.
- Check your device’s date and time are set automatically.
Console and mobile notes
On consoles, some errors come from the console’s own privacy or account settings, especially for child accounts. Check that online play is allowed in the console’s family settings. On mobile, background apps and battery saving modes can interrupt connections, so turn off battery saving while you play.
When to contact support
If an error continues after trying everything and other games work fine, contact Roblox support through the official help site. Include the error code, your device, and what you were doing when it happened.
