Troubleshooting Checklist for Roblox Error Code 277
If this is something you rarely experience, then it could be caused by your internet service provider. However, if it has just happened recently or after a major update, then here are some things you could try to fix the issue:
Test Internet Connection
We recommend checking internet latency and speed if everything is operating normally. We also encourage trying other online multiplayer games to make sure that it’s purely internet related. If you are experiencing a lost connection in other games, better contact your ISP instead. Here are some things you can do by yourself:
- Power cycle devices (mobile devices, consoles, and modem/router)
- Check Internet Settings
- Use built-in program compatibility troubleshooter
- Use Port Forwarding
- Use VPN
- Disable ad-blocker

Update your default browser
Keeping Google Chrome and your browser extensions up-to-date is highly recommended when playing Roblox games. Suppose you’re using a different browser (Internet Explorer). Plenty of users have reported that this has been a common error, and updating their browsers can usually fix the issue.
You might also want to try clearing your cache and deleting your cookies if you’re still having some issues. Also, check your internet options tab for further troubleshooting. While a poor internet connection is a factor for connection error, you can’t be too sure.
Reinstall Roblox
