Getting This Unknown Error Message From 'Roblox'

[ChetFritsch]

Hello gamers, I have been playing 'Roblox' on my PC for a long days. But recently I have been encountering a problem while playing the game. I a, getting this unknown error message when play the game:

"Authentication Failed
Error Code: 403
An error was encountered during authentication. Please try again."

I have no idea what could be the issue. Could anyone please help me to solve the issue? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Not sure if it's the same within games, but here are a few links about the http error codes.

The REST API makes use of http codes as well, and I would figure games use it for network negotiation/s.

Reading the error code itself, it seems the AUTH () function didn't authenticate your player credentials. A server could be busy, but I think that's unlikely, as most gaming servers split up into several various servers anymore. There is usually one dedicated to authenticating user info, another for maps, another for player inventory, another for magic/weapons and so on.

This is done all invisible to the players to effectively balance out the bandwidth load, keeping servers from being overloaded & busy. Maybe you're not up to the correct exp level for a quest, weapon/magic/special. I don't know beyond there is a reason you're not being authenticated. You'd need to ask the game's web devs, devs. Maybe your version needs to be upgraded? It could be any number of factors.

No, I don't play that game, sorry. I've played other MOMUD/MMURPG type of games though. Now, I mostly play X-shishen sho, about all I'm keen on, matching shapes.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. But I have resolved the issue with the help of this article. I followed some useful methods from there. First I modified the DNS settings and the uninstalled Roblox and reinstalled it. After doing the methods properly, the problem got solved. Now I have no problem when playing the game.

*facepalms self* Ah, okay reconfigure DNS. Makes sense. Dumb me for not thinking of that. Glad you got it fixed despite my input.
