Tools You'll Need

How to Fix Error Code 271

  1. Check Roblox Server Status

  2. Restart Your Internet Connection

    If other people in your household are using the internet, let them know before restarting the router as it will temporarily disconnect everyone.

  3. Switch from Wi-Fi to a Wired Connection (or Vice Versa)

  4. Clear the Roblox Cache

    Clearing the cache will not delete your Roblox account, inventory, or progress. It only removes temporary local files.

  5. Flush DNS and Reset Network Settings

    Running these commands is safe and will not delete any files or change your network password. Your internet connection may briefly drop during the reset.

  6. Temporarily Disable Your Firewall or Antivirus

    Only disable your firewall or antivirus temporarily for testing. Re-enable it immediately after your test, and add a Roblox exception rather than leaving security software off permanently.

  7. Reinstall the Roblox Client

  8. Check and Update Your Network Drivers (PC Only)

When to Call a Professional

If you have tried all the steps above and still receive Error Code 271, the issue may be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your home network hardware. Contact your ISP to check for line issues, packet loss, or unstable connection speeds in your area. If Roblox's own servers are repeatedly dropping your connection and the status page shows no issues, you can submit a support ticket at roblox.com/support for further investigation by their technical team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Roblox Error Code 271 mean?
Error Code 271 means the Roblox game server lost its connection to your player session. This causes you to be automatically kicked from the game. It is most commonly caused by an unstable internet connection, a Roblox server outage, or a local network configuration issue.
Will I get banned for Roblox Error Code 271?
No, Error Code 271 is a connection error and has nothing to do with account bans or violations. It simply means your session was dropped due to a connectivity problem. You will not lose your account, items, or progress as a result of this error.
Why does Roblox Error 271 keep happening over and over?
If Error 271 happens repeatedly, the most likely causes are an unstable Wi-Fi connection, packet loss on your network, your ISP experiencing intermittent issues, or Roblox servers having ongoing problems. Try switching to a wired Ethernet connection and running a speed test at fast.com to check for packet loss. If packet loss is above 1-2%, contact your ISP.
Does Roblox Error Code 271 happen on Xbox or PlayStation?
Roblox is primarily available on Xbox. Error 271 can occur on Xbox as well, and is usually caused by the same network issues. On Xbox, go to Settings > General > Network Settings and run the network troubleshooter. You can also try a full power cycle of your console by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then restarting.
How long does Roblox Error 271 last?
If the error is caused by a Roblox server outage, it typically lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the severity of the incident. Check status.roblox.com for updates. If it is caused by your own internet connection, fixing the issue on your end (restarting your router, using Ethernet, etc.) should resolve it immediately.
