New symbol with builderman used for error pages.
An error is a piece of information displayed when an unexpected event occurs. It can range from a broken game feature to Roblox shutting down entirely. Error messages are seen widely throughout Roblox and are part of every Roblox platform.
On the game client, if an error has occurred, the error message will appear in the center of the screen in the form of a gray dialog box, which will tell the user what the error is and gives the option to leave or reconnect when applicable. On mobile, the gray error dialog box can be small. There was a bug on mobile where you couldn't see the gray error dialog box whatsoever. In the case of non-in-game errors, the error message will appear in the form of a separate page, typically with a Roblox-themed background to go along with it.
2xx errors indicate connection issues, 5xx errors indicate player-related error, 6xx errors indicate HTTP issues and 7xx errors indicate place teleportation error.

| Error code (#) | Description | Images |

| Client Crash | "An unexpected error occurred and Roblox needs to quit. We're sorry!"

This will happen when you try to join a game while getting warned/banned when you are still on the game's page. Displayed when the client fails to launch while joining a game, which can be caused by a faulty internet connection or by Roblox maintenance. This error can also occur if the user tries to join a game while their Roblox account is disabled. It can also happen when you try to rejoin the game when the game chat does not load while playing with your friend. The most common example of this error was when Roblox crashed on July 13, 2021. |   |
| Purchase Error | There are three variations of this error:
|    |
| 1 (retired) | "Roblox cannot startup. User code = 0x1" Displayed when trying to play a game while the user violated Roblox's terms of service. This error happened when a user was MAC banned or has repeatedly created adult content.[1] See also Ban. |  The error that would show up every time an "error banned" user tried to join a game |
| 2 | "Initialization error 2" This was similar to error code 4. |  |
| 4 | "Initialization error 4" Displayed when the launcher cannot initialize properly. |  |
| 6 | "An error occurred while starting Roblox; Details: ... Error Code: 6" Displayed when the launcher times out while downloading a new version or launching a game, which can be caused by the faulty internet connection or anti-virus detections. |  |
| 256/274 | "Developer has shut down all game servers or game server has shut down for other reasons, please reconnect (Error Code: 256)" "The experience's developer has temporarily shut down the experience server.

| 261 | "Error while receiving data, please reconnect. (Error Code: 261)" "There was a problem streaming data, please reconnect.

| 264 | "Same account launched game from different device. Reconnect if you prefer to use this device (Error Code: 264)" "You are already playing a game. Please shut down the other game and try again. (Error Code: 264)" Displayed when a client starts while another client is already playing a game. This error can indicate an unknown/unwanted user on an account. This error can also occur if the player is warned in-game, but that error code has been replaced with 273 instead of 264. If no internet issues are occurring with the account, this is likely due to the account being compromised and someone else is trying to start a game while the original account owner is already playing a game. When Error 273 occurs, the reconnect button will appear on the right of the Leave Button. |   |
| 266 | "Your connection timed out. Check your internet connection and try again. (Error Code: 266)" Displayed when the connection was timed out. This happens when the client's connection lags a lot or has not responded for a long time. It usually appears during a game timeout, which can be caused by a weak internet connection, high ping, or a slow computer. |  |
| 267 | "You were kicked from this experience: You have been kicked from the game (Error Code: 267)" "You were kicked from this game: [Reason] (Error Code: 267)"
Also unlike other errors, a custom message can be given in the error message box depending on how you were kicked (not always however; if no reason is given then the game will simply display the default text). "This game has shut down" An old version of "You were kicked from this experience" was used from 2006 to 2018/early 2019. |  Displayed when no reason was provided  Unspecified reason (No reason was provided)  Former version, no reason field  |
| 268 | "You have been kicked by the server. Please close and rejoin another game (Error Code: 268)" "You have been kicked due to unexpected client behavior. (Error Code: 268)" Displayed when a user is kicked from the game and is forced to join another server. This can occur from general connection issues, and in some cases when using exploits or for having a lot of lag.

The user is kicked from the server and their page reloads, which then shows the user the ban/warn. |   |

(Error Code: 275)" "Roblox has shut down this game server for maintenance (Error Code: 275)" Displayed when Roblox closes a game server for maintenance or if a game is deleted by a Roblox staff member while being played. |   |

This is also the typical error for when the server the player is connected to is getting overloaded and crashing (Attempting to reconnect in this case often results in a code 279 error). Old versions of this include "You have lost the connection to the game" and "Lost connection to the game server, please reconnect" which were used from 2006 to 2018/early 2019. |     |
| 278 | "You were disconnected for being idle 20 minutes (Error Code: 278)" Displayed when a player is inactive in a game for 20 or more minutes. |  |

| 286 | "Your device does not have enough memory to run this experience. Exit back to the app. (Error Code: 286)" Displayed when the device that the game is being played on does not have a valid amount of memory to run the game. |  |

| 523 | "The status of the game has changed and you no longer have access. Please try again later. (Error Code: 523)" This is a server error, not a game error. Displayed when the player tries to join a server that has shut down. |    New Variant since Roblox changed it from Game to Experience |
