Because of the sluggish internet connection and large game downloads, Roblox games take longer to load. If you’re playing Roblox in a browser with a sluggish internet connection, the map will download in a fair period of time. But don’t be concerned.
What to Do
Some problems could be solved by a simple restart. When you encounter Roblox games not working issue, the first thing you should do is to end the tasks related to Google Chrome in Task Manager and launch Chrome again. If this doesn’t help, you should restart your PC.
First, make sure that your internet connection is stable enough to run Roblox games. Reset your router and attempt to load up a game again. In case your internet is slow and the game is big requiring a fast connection to load, wait a bit and see if the game eventually ends up starting properly or not.
If Roblox servers are down due to an outage, the games on the platform will not work. So, you need to check the server status and if it’s down, simply wait until it’s back up. The official Twitter account will have all the information regarding the updates, so make sure to follow them.
Sometimes, your Firewall or Antivirus could be the reason why you are not able to connect to Roblox’s servers. Temporarily disable them and re-enable them when you are done playing the games for the day.
Check your Browser and update it to the latest version. The best browsers to play Roblox are Opera GX, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Also, ensure that your browser’s security settings are appropriate for Roblox so that every button and link that you open via Roblox works perfectly.
Extensions or add-ons can also cause problems causing the Roblox games not loading issue. If they are interfering with the game’s code then disable them temporarily or remove them if possible.
Lastly, the port range that Roblox uses is UDP 49152 – 65535. So make sure that you keep these ports open so that Roblox can connect with your Router without any issues.
It’s possible that your Roblox launcher doesn’t have admin access to your system to run it properly. In that scenario, the game launcher won’t gonna launch easily as the system does not allow it. To do so:
Sometimes a corrupted or missing app data folder of the game may start conflicting with the game itself. So, it’s better to remove the app data folder on your computer to refresh it.
If the Proxy server is enabled for some reason on your computer for the LAN Settings then the chances are high enough that you may experience issues with the Roblox launching or connecting to the server. So, disabling the proxy server of LAN is required. To do so:
Maybe the IP configuration or DNS server has become corrupted for some reason on your computer. In that case, your system may not be able to connect to the game servers or online streaming services. It’s better to flush the DNS server completely to regain the IP configuration properly. To do this:
If none of the above methods worked for you, try checking the official Roblox Server Status page whether there is any technical issue happening or not. If there is an issue with the service that means you’ll have to wait for a couple of hours until the problem has been resolved by developers.
Coming to the networking device, if you’re using the wired (ethernet) connection on your PC, make sure to switch to the wireless (Wi-Fi) network to check for the issue. Otherwise, if you’re only using Wi-Fi then try performing the power cycle of your router. To do that:
If in case, you’re using a web browser on the computer to access and play Roblox games then make sure to try checking the same on a different web browser. Sometimes it can also possible that the existing web browser has some issues with the cache data, glitch, extension issues, issues with browsing history, etc.
