Roblox Error Code 268 Resolved and Explained (8 Methods)

Roblox Error Code 268 “You have been kicked due to unexpected client behavior.” mainly occurs when the Roblox Client detects any suspicious program that can be either a third-party program or a hacking tool. However, this error also occurs due to a server problem from Roblox.

Even though this error should not pop up when there is a server problem, some users have confirmed that this error can be caused by a server problem. Therefore, it is important to check the Roblox server status before moving down to the following methods.

In some cases, Roblox gives soft bans to its users as a punishment for doing any unexpected activity which is not allowed. If that’s the case, then just wait for at least 1 to 24 hours for the ban to be removed. Usually, a soft ban lasts for one hour. Hence, if all the methods fail to fix this error, try waiting for at least 1 hour.

1. Clear DNS cache

Clearing the DNS cache will clear the DNS records from the local cache, so the next time when you open Roblox, it will first ask the DNS server to convert the server domain names to IP addresses, which will help connect to Roblox servers. Hence, if there is a corrupted DNS cache on your device causing this error, clearing the DNS cache will help.

1. To do this, press the Windows key and type cmd in the search menu.
2. Open the command prompt.

   

3. Now type ipconfig /flushdns and hit Enter to clear the DNS cache.
4. Once done, paste the following commands to reassign the IP address of the computer.

   ipconfig /release
   ipconfig /renew

   

5. Once done, close the command prompt, launch Roblox, and see if the error is fixed or not.

2. Use VPN

There are several ways that Roblox used to give a soft ban to its users. The most common ban is the IP ban that Roblox can give you. Since this error mostly occurs due to an IP ban, we will try changing the global IP address by connecting to the free VPN.

4. Perform a Clean Boot

5. Re-install Roblox

If the error persists, try clean reinstalling Roblox because it is possible that you are facing this error due to corrupted Roblox client files, which forces the game to display error code 268 for no reason.

To re-install Roblox:

1. Press Windows key and search for %localappdata%.

   

2. Open the folder, find and right the Roblox folder, and select Delete.

Roblox can also give soft bans to its users through their accounts. If the error occurs on the mobile version of Roblox, it means they have banned your account. In this case, you cannot do anything except contact the Roblox appeals team.

If the Roblox is running without any error on your mobile, that means it is an IP ban which will automatically remove by itself.

7. Reset your Windows

If you have waited for 24 hours and still encountering this issue, try resetting your Windows because it is possible that Roblox has detected some suspicious services that are working silently in the background and cannot be disabled. Hence, try resetting your Windows by following the instructions.

1. Right-click Start Menu and select Settings from the options.
