Spending time in Roblox with friends and other players is always interesting and exciting. Sometimes the process is hindered by the occurrence of errors and failures, which are extremely unpleasant, but solvable. In this article we will look at one of the most popular - error 523.
Causes
There is no single reason for error 523. Several things can influence its occurrence:
- Carrying out preventative maintenance on the server.
- Trying to join a private server.
- Poor internet connection.
- Computer settings.
Solutions
If there is no single root of the problem, then there is no specific, single solution. Below we will discuss all the ways to fix the error. If one method doesn't work for you, try another.
Server is unavailable or private
Sometimes servers are sent to reboot, or are created for certain players. You can get to such a server through the profiles of other users or the list of all servers below its description. In this case, there is only one solution - disconnect from the server and enter the game using the button Play on the home page.
Connection check
The problem could have arisen due to unstable internet. Try rebooting your router or connecting to a different network.
Disabling the firewall
A firewall (firewall) was created to protect PC users from possible threats by filtering incoming and outgoing traffic. However, sometimes it can mistake packets sent by the game for malicious ones and block them without notification. If the problem is related to this, you will have to disable it to get Roblox to work:
- Open Control Panel: Press the keys Win + R and enter the command control in the opened field.
- Go to the section "system and safety" and then in "Windows Defender Firewall».
- Go to the protected section "Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off».
- In both sections, check "Disable Windows Defender Firewall...»
- Apply the changes by clicking the "OK».
If this method does not help you, it is recommended to enable the firewall again.
Removing AdBlocker
Nobody likes ads, and often people install AdBlocker to get rid of them. It is possible that the cause of error 523 was a false positive from this program. In this case, it will have to be removed or disabled for the duration of the game.
Reset your browser settings
Resetting the browser to default settings can also help deal with problems with the game. You need to carry out the actions in the browser from which you access the game - we will show them using Google Chrome as an example.
- Open your browser and click on the three dots in the top right corner.
- Go to section "Settings".
- Scroll down the panel on the left and click "Reset settings».
The process may differ slightly in other browsers, but the general principle remains the same.
Clearing logs
Logs are files that store information about past errors and Roblox settings. Removing them can also help solve startup problems.
- Enter the folder AppData. To do this, press the keyboard shortcut Win + R and enter the command appdata in the opened field.
- Open local, and then Roblox/logs.
- Delete all files there.
Reinstalling Roblox
If all else fails and you have no choice, you can try reinstalling the game. Most often, this solves the problem, but takes some time. We'll tell you how to do this on a PC:
- In the control panel (the process of opening it was described above), go to the section "Removing programs."
- Find all the components that have Roblox in the name and double-click them to remove them.
- Follow the path /AppData/Local and delete the folder Roblox.
- After that, download the game again from the official website and perform a clean installation.
In order to reinstall the game on your phone, just delete it and download it again. Play Market or App Store.
