How to Fix Roblox Error Code 267 on Windows 11

Roblox Error Code 267 is a common error that prevents you from playing a Roblox game. This article will describe what causes this error and provide several ways to fix it.

Roblox Error Code 267

Roblox players report getting kicked out mid-game or being unable to join a particular server because of Error Code 267. When you get this error, it will be accompanied by one of the following messages.

A client was detected on your device

Events stopped

You were kicked from this game

Banned from server

Cheating suspicion (unbanned in Xh)

Exploiting

Depending on the message, you can determine the cause of the error. However, if you were kicked for an “Unspecified reason”, it usually refers to a connectivity issue.

What Causes Error Code 267?

  • Network-related issue. High ping or an unreliable Internet connection may disconnect you from the server not to ruin the game experience for other users. Check your Internet connection speed with SpeedTest.
  • Anti-virus or firewall software interference. Your anti-virus or firewall application may prevent Robloc from connecting to servers.
  • Kicked by a server admin. You can get Error Code 267 if a server administrator or admin script kicks you from the server.
  • A temporary ban. You can also get this error if you’ve been temporarily banned for a few hours or days due to your actions in-game.
  • Hacking. If you use hacks, and illegal scripts, or modify the game’s main code to cheat, Roblox will prevent you from joining any servers.
  • Your account is not old enough. Some servers place account age restrictions that don’t allow you to connect if your account is not of a certain age. Some servers require a 5-day-old account, and some require 30 days.

Unfortunately, in mot cases, you will get Error 267 for something beyond your control, but there are some things you can do in the rare case of an issue on your side.

Before trying any of our fixes, here are some tips:

  • Update your Roblox client.
  • Temporarily disable your anti-virus program.
  • Temporarily disable your VPN service, as Roblox often encounters errors while using a VPN.
  • If possible, connect to the Internet using an Ethernet cable.
  • If you play Roblox on your web browser, close the browser completely, including background tasks, and open it again.
