Why Roblox doesn’t work – the most common problems

With Roblox it is possible for children to dive into the exciting world of programming. They create their own levels or entire mini-games that can be played online together with friends. When developing or playing, however, there is unfortunately always frustration when Roblox doesn’t work again. These reasons apply to many users:

• If Roblox does not work on your computer, your browser may be out of date. An update to the latest version will then fix the Roblox problem.

• If Roblox is not running in any browser (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer), it may be helpful to clear the cache of the internet data.

• If the computer’s firewall is set to intensive protection, you may have to define an extra permission for Roblox in order for the programming game to work. There are also problems if several firewalls are active on one PC.

• If Roblox does not work, it can help under Windows to reset the Internet options. This is where errors often creep in that affect the functionality of Roblox.

What to do if Roblox doesn’t work

If you cannot connect to Roblox, it may be because the site is being maintained or is overloaded. In this case, the only thing that helps is to wait until it continues.

• If no other pages can be opened either, there is a problem with your computer’s internet connection that needs to be fixed first.

• Roblox is classified as malware by some antivirus scanners and blocked or quarantined. Here an exception rule helps so that Roblox works again.

• Some connection errors can be fixed by reinstalling Roblox or are gone after a system reboot.

• At the end of 2021 Roblox was unreachable for three days, on the developer page there are notes about technical updates, outages or known malfunctions of the servers that are being fixed.
