I keep getting Error Code 267 when trying to join a game on Roblox. It instantly kicks me out, and I’m unsure why this is happening. Can someone explain what this means and how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, Error Code 267, the infamous game-kicker-upper annoyance. Basically, this happens when Roblox thinks you’re trying to commit some sort of crime (not really, but it feels like it). It usually means you’re getting booted from a game by a script or anti-cheat mechanism set up by the game creator. It could be due to reasons like having an incomplete account (e.g., no age set—yes, Roblox is judgy like that), a bad internet connection, or, let’s be real, sometimes the game creators go overboard with their security scripts.
To fix it, here’s the rundown:
-
Account Check: If your account is new or doesn’t have all its info filled in, Roblox might just assume you’re sketchy. Make sure your age and details are set up.
-
Game Issue: Sometimes, the game itself is poorly scripted, and there’s literally nothing you can do. Try playing a different game to see if it’s just that specific one being dramatic.
-
Internet Vibes: If your Wi-Fi is trash or lagging (no offense, but my Wi-Fi ghosts me sometimes), Roblox might kick you for being too slow. Try restarting your router or switching to a wired connection.
-
Ban Hammer Incoming?: If you’ve been naughty in the game or tried shady exploits before, those game devs might’ve banned your account specifically, which triggers this lovely error code.
-
Browser/Gadget Drama: Make sure your browser or app version is up-to-date. Sometimes clearing cache or reinstalling the Roblox app works wonders.
TL;DR, it’s either Roblox being sassy, the game developer’s fault, or something on your end (internet, account settings, etc.). Just run through those fixes and see if it helps!
'Error Code 267… ugh, it’s like the Roblox equivalent of being told ‘you can’t sit with us.’ I saw @vrijheidsvogel’s take, and they’re mostly on point, but let me throw in some additional angles here since this issue isn’t always about your account or Wi-Fi.
-
Game-Specific Ban Filters: Some game devs use their own custom ban scripts that are ultra-sensitive or just poorly coded. Sometimes, you’re flagged for reasons totally beyond you, like your avatar accessories or even certain tools/scripts Roblox considers harmless. It’s not always your fault, so don’t assume you’re sketchy. If just one game keeps kicking you out, it’s probably an issue with the game itself.
-
VPN Shenanigans: Running a VPN? Roblox hates them. It could think you’re masking your location, triggering that lovely Error 267. The fix? Turn that VPN off while playing—or risk the Roblox gods’ rage. This isn’t something everyone mentions, but it’s surprisingly common!
-
Firewall or Antivirus Interference: No one loves overprotective software when it blocks a game for no reason. Check that your antivirus or firewall isn’t ruining the Roblox vibe. Add Roblox as a trusted program if needed.
-
Content Deleted? If the game you’re trying to play has been partially or entirely deleted by Roblox (it happens, trust issues), attempting to join can also throw you this error. Check if other players can join that game—sometimes it’s not even “you,” it’s the game that’s been nuked.
While I agree with @vrijheidsvogel on refreshing your browser or reinstalling Roblox, I think it’s worth reminding everyone not to just default to blaming your internet or account every time. Sometimes devs set rules stricter than a boarding school principal, and you just gotta move on. When in doubt, try a game known to work properly. If it still happens universally, then yeah—time to troubleshoot deeper.’
Oh, Error Code 267—Roblox’s way of saying, “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” Here’s another unique take on how to tackle this frustrating situation, without rehearsing the already great points raised by others above.
First of all, let’s be clear: sometimes, this code is wildly misinterpreted. Many believe it’s always about your account or the game dev’s aggressive scripting, but there’s more nuance to Roblox’s tantrums.
-
Outdated Graphics Drivers: Wait, what? Yup, your GPU driver could be messing things up. Roblox might encounter a failure to render certain in-game assets, and instead of a graceful exit, bam, the kick. Hop onto your graphics card software (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel—take your pick), and ensure the drivers are up-to-date.
-
Browser-Plugin Clash: If you’re playing Roblox through a browser and have a million extensions installed (ad-blockers, privacy tools, random cat meme generators), these could interfere with the game scripts loading. Disable unnecessary plugins one by one to see if that improves anything.
-
Large Ping Variation: Everyone talks about terrible Wi-Fi, but what about ping spikes? On a technical level, inconsistent ping (those wild up-and-down milliseconds) can be a specific trigger for Error Code 267. Ping test websites or apps like “PingPlotter” can help you visualize if your network is steady enough for gaming. If it’s spiky, gaming on mobile data might ironically be smoother than a flaky fiber connection.
-
Spoken Language in Chat Filters: Plot twist: if you’re using Roblox chat in a language not properly supported or recognized (e.g., certain regional dialects, symbols, etc.), some overzealous game devs program chat filters to auto-boot you upon “suspicious messages.” Try switching up your chat activities.
-
Account Relevance Issue: This one’s sneaky. Beyond incomplete profiles or VPNs (shoutout to that point shared earlier), check if your account age aligns with the game’s intended audience. If a game is marked for accounts over 13 and yours says you’re 10, that sends Error 267 to your doorstep faster than a pizza delivery.
-
Roblox Servers Acting Up: Listen, sometimes it’s just Roblox itself. Server downtime or server-specific issues in certain game regions can randomly nuke sessions for no reason.
Pros for Double-Checking Specific Accounts for Issues:
- Ensures personal errors are caught and fixed without wasting energy blaming others.
- Can resolve common conflicts between your system and Roblox with minimal effort.
Cons for Endless Troubleshooting:
- It can be outright exhausting when the problem is likely on Roblox’s side or poorly coded games.
- Wasting time on fixes like reinstalling everything might make you feel like the IT department for nothing.
I see @cazadordeestrellas and @vrijheidsvogel already presented grand fixes like internet stabilization and dealing with developer quirks, which are mostly right. But seriously, don’t tear your router apart or rage-delete Roblox after a few attempts. Sometimes, patience (and a good driver update!) is all you need.
