Introduction to Roblox:
Roblox is an online game-building platform where users create games for other users to play. Most of the games on the Roblox are created by the Roblox users and not the developers.
It has all kinds of games and you can play single-player, multiplayer games, role-playing, etc. modes on it.
Just like Steam is popular among adults Roblox is very popular among kids. It so safe that even kids below 13 can play on it.
It was officially released on 1 September 2006 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel and since then it has upgraded itself by adding cool features for its users to enhance their gaming experience for eg: The Roblox decals.
Roblox has its user-generated 3D world called the Roblox community. The users buy and sell items to the other users in the community to earn the Roblox money called Robux. You can also buy Robux using real money. You can also give Robux to friends who need them.
All the user-generated games of multiple genres on Roblox use the programming language Lua.
What is Roblox Error Code 267?
The Roblox error code 267 is a very common problem that happens to a lot of Roblox users daily.
Roblox displays this error when you get kicked from a game that you were playing or you are not able to enter a particular game.
We cannot blame the Roblox developers for this error because they are not responsible for it.
The one who is responsible for this error is the Roblox defense mechanism that automatically identifies a strange player in the game and tries to prevent the game from getting hacked or exploited by the player.
However, there is no need to panic because as I said it is a common player and can be fixed with a few simple steps but before that let us see what causes Roblox to display this error.
What are the possible causes for error code 267?
It is not just Roblox’s defense mechanism that creates the Roblox error code 267 there are other reasons also.
Before we jump to the fixes make sure your account is more than 30 days old. Let us see what are the other possible causes that can cause Roblox error code 267:
1: Bad internet connection:
As we know Roblox is an online gaming platform so you require good internet to completely load the game. Having a bad internet connection can cause Roblox to show error 267.
2: Roblox server issues:
The game creators buy servers for their games from the developers. There are chances they may make any mistake while setting up the server configuration. So whenever you open the game it displays the error code267
3: Banned player:
If the Roblox defense mechanism identified you as a hacker then you may get kicked from the game with the error code 267. However, you can unban your ID by contacting the game owner but it will take 30 days.
4: Missing components:
If the device you are using is too old and does not have proper hardware requirements to load the game then also you will get the error code 267 from Roblox.
5: Firewalls:
There are chances that the antivirus system installed on your device is restricting Roblox from using the resources due to which it displays the error code 267.
How to fix Roblox error code 267:
Let us see what are the possible fixes for the problem Roblox error code 267.
#1 Check the network connection:
As I mentioned above slow internet blocks the full functionality of Roblox and the games do not respond well so having a slow internet connection is also one of the reasons why Roblox displays the error code 267.
So before you open Roblox make sure you have a fast internet connection connected to your device. I would recommend you to use an Ethernet cable for the internet rather than a wireless network while playing a game on Roblox.
#2 Check if the servers are down:
As I have told you that the game creators buy games from the developers for the game. So, there may be some errors in the servers that they may be fixing by going down.
Also, the server may be under maintenance so kindly check if the game server is down.
If the server is up then there may be some other problem that is causing the error.
#3 Use a compatible browser:
If you are using Roblox in the browser then there may be a chance that you can get kicked out of the game because your browser is not compatible with the game.
So, it is recommended to update your browser to the latest version and then use Roblox to avoid the error code 267.
Also, I would recommend you to use Roblox in the Google Chrome browser. It is the best browser available in the market
#4 Reset internet settings:
Resetting the internet settings of the browser also helps you solve this error. It is a very simple process and different for different browsers. Here are the steps to do it:
Reset Google Chrome settings:
1} Open the Google Chrome internet browser and go to settings

2} Scroll to the bottom and click on the Reset settings option on the left taskbar.
3} After that click on Restore settings to their default values. You will get a pop-up click on Reset
After the process is complete, relaunch the browser and open Roblox in it and check if the error persists.
#5 Disable AD-Blockers:
A lot of Roblox users reported that the error code 267 on Roblox was fixed after they disabled the Ad-blocker feature on the browser.
Ad-blocker is a good feature to block unwanted pop-up ads but you can temporarily disable it when you are playing a game on Roblox and enable it again later.
However, if you still don’t want to disable Ad-Blocker then it is better to use the Google Chrome browser because the Google Chrome Ad-Blocker does not create the Roblox error code 267 when you use Roblox on it.
#6 Update the Network Adapters:
As we know bad network connection can also be the reason for Roblox error code 267. So you must try updating the Network drivers on your computer to tackle the error. Here are the steps to do update your network driver.

2} Next type “devmgmt.msc” and hit enter to open the device manager.
3} In the Device manager look for Network Adapters and double click on it. It will list all the Network components installed on your computer.
4} Right-click on each component and click on update driver. Repeat the process with all the other components under Network adapters.
5} After that restart your computer. Now try launching Roblox again and check if it still displays the the error code 267.
#7 Temporarily Disable Windows Firewall:
Sometimes, the Windows firewall considers the game files as a threat and thus restricts them from running smoothly causing the error 267. So, the solution for this is to temporarily disable the Windows firewall and re-enable it as soon as you have finished playing the game because as soon as we disable the Windows Firewall the system becomes vulnerable to malware and viruses. Here are the steps to Temporarily disable the Firewall
- Go to search and type control panel and hit enter to open the control panel app.
- In that, click on the System and Security option
- Then click on the Windows Defender Firewall.
- Now here, click on the Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off option
- And then click on the Turn off button to disable the firewall
- After that open Roblox and check if the error persists.
Note that you must not forget to enable the Windows Firewall to protect your system from unwanted threats.
#8 Disable the third-party antiviruses:
Third-party antiviruses are known to cause problems. The threat protection system of the third-party antiviruses is not so advanced and so they sometimes consider a genuine application as a threat and flag it as a virus. Often they block the functionality of the application they consider as a threat.
So, the third-party antiviruses can also cause error 267 in Roblox. So, it is highly recommended to use a trustworthy antivirus tool like MalwareBytes, McAfee, etc.
#9 Uninstall and Reinstall Roblox:
If you are using the Roblox software to play a game and you have a fast internet connection but still got kicked out of the game because of Roblox error code 267 then you may be using the older version of Roblox.
