Why does Roblox keep saying an error occurred while starting?

This is a common error message that Roblox players get when they have a poor Internet connection. Problems with your ISP can cause it, but also network configuration issues.

Many users report having this problem after changing their router settings. We can only conclude that they may have mistakenly blocked access to Roblox, in which case a simple reset to default should help.

On the same note, it is also possible that your Proxy settings block the app or your Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) is corrupt.

It is also possible that the Roblox servers are down, in which case you will have to be patient until they solve the problem. You can check the Roblox Downdetector page to see if there’s currently any outage.

Third-party applications such as antiviruses or firewalls may also interfere, so make sure you check and adjust your security settings.
