Roblox provides a platform for gamers to develop their games or play several online games developed by other people. The platform has over 170 million registered users and it is common that these users sometimes run into problems during their game.

One major issue gamers encounter is the error when updating in-game items. This error usually occurs when players are trying to dress their avatars, bringing up an error message that reads “Error while updating worn items“.

If you are facing a similar issue, go through this guide, as it will provide you with practical solutions on how to fix the problem.

Why does Roblox keep saying error while updating worn items? 👖

Server error: most times this error message pops up due to problems with the server. If the Roblox server has just been updated, users are likely to experience this issue. Another reason could be that the server is overloaded at the time. It is important to keep an eye on the creator’s social media page or website to get the latest information and the next course of action.
Item not added to user’s profile: to be able to dress your avatar with the available clothing items, you must add those items to your profile. If you didn’t do this and you click on that item, it will display the error message.
