Just like every game in the world, Roblox has its fair share of flumps and errors. These games are made by real people, after all.

If you’re dealing with this problem now, here’s how to fix Roblox Error 279.

Before you start making any drastic changes to Roblox, your browser, or your PC settings, you should double check that the game is up and running. It isn’t uncommon for games like Roblox to be unavailable briefly for maintenance.

But what if you check Roblox’s server status and everything is operational? In that case, the problem is likely that your modem has one too many corrupted temporary files disrupting your internet connection.

Your browser’s AdBlock extension is incredibly helpful for blocking scripts, typically those linked to advertisements. On very rare occasions, it may also block scripts running on Roblox’s website that are essential for staying connected to the website.

Similar to how your modem and router can accumulate one too many temporary files over time, your browser can do the same. And like your modem and router, it can cause unwanted connection errors.

It’s possible that Roblox is being blocked by your PC’s firewall or antivirus. That doesn’t mean Roblox is a virus; even benign software needs permission to access your PC. If Roblox is being blocked, then a connection won’t be made and you’ll receive Error 279.
