What does Roblox error 0 mean?

The Roblox error 0 means the servers are not operational, your networking devices are misconfigured, your PC is connecting to an unreliable DNS, the network driver is outdated, there are too many cache files, or you use a VPN while trying to launch Roblox.

How to fix error code 0 Roblox?

Fix the error code 0 in Roblox by applying these quick fixes and checks:

Check Roblox Server Status: If all systems seem operational and marked with a green color, the problem is on your end. If you see that there are any issues marked with orange or red, it means it might be a server-side issue.
Restart your PC: A quick restart can solve some network-related error codes. Do this whenever you experience similar problems to avoid losing time on more complicated solutions when the problem is not that complicated.
Restart your networking devices: Find your router, modem, or other device that manages your home network. Restart it by pressing the restart button, usually located on the back side of the device.

If this doesn’t give the anticipated result, and you still experience problems with authentication, proceed with the step-by-step solutions.

3. Delete cache files

Roblox stores cache files locally on your PC to launch faster and run smoother. However, if these files aren’t saved appropriately, they will cause issues, such as authentication error code 0.

Use the Windows Key + R shortcut to open the Run dialog, type %localappdata%, and hit OK.
Use the CTRL + A shortcut to select all files in the folder.
Hit the Delete Key to delete all of the files in the folder.
▫ If prompted to confirm, click on Yes.
▫ If some files can’t be deleted, click on Skip.

Extra steps

Some gamers will experience more difficulties when eliminating error code 0 Roblox. If this is your case, try to:

❌ Disable VPN: Accessing geo-restricted content, staying anonymous, and network security are just some reasons to use VPN software. However, Roblox servers might not allow you to connect using a VPN, so we advise you to disable it before launching Roblox.
🌐 Use another network: The problem might be the one you are using, so you can try using an alternative network. One way to do so is to enable a mobile hotspot on your smartphone. If this resolves the issue, it means there is a problem with the network you usually use.
📞 Contact your ISP: If you still can’t play Robblox due to error code 0 and you applied all of the solutions we proposed, contact your ISP and explain the situation. This applies especially if you don’t get any errors when using another network or mobile hotspot.
