What Are The Fixes For Roblox Error 268?
This isn’t an inescapable bug at all, so don’t worry and read on to know the various ways to fix this error.
There are multiple fixes for this Roblox error 268, and those are discussed below:
1) Check The Game Server
Before trying any fix, the first thing you need to do is to check the Roblox game server.
You can easily check the Roblox server status from here.
If you find the game server is under maintenance or there is an outage, wait for a couple of hours before starting the game again.
If you don’t encounter any server issues, then use the UWP Roblox app.
2) Use The UWP Roblox App
Instead of playing from the browser, you can directly use the UWP Roblox app from their official server.
This is how you can do it:
- First, you need to go to the Roblox page and log in to your account.
- Next, go to the games section and start playing any games of your preference.
As soon as you launch any game of your preference, the auto-download process will start.
3) Disable Antivirus Temporarily

So, disable Windows Firewall for the time being and see if this fixes the issue.

- Next, Turn Windows Defender Firewall On or Off option from the left panel.
