Close Roblox completely, restart it, and rejoin the game. If you were kicked by the game's anti-cheat script, check you don't have any browser extensions or overlay programs that inject into Roblox. Clearing your browser cache also helps if you play via the web.
What causes this error
Error Code 267 appears when a Roblox game server forcibly disconnects your client. The most common trigger is a server-side Lua script that calls player:Kick() — many games use custom anti-cheat or anti-exploit systems that kick players for suspicious behavior like teleporting, speed hacking, or using third-party exploit tools. It can also fire when your connection to the server drops mid-game and the server interprets the timeout as a disconnect. Less commonly, Roblox's own moderation system issues a temporary kick if it detects Terms of Service violations in real time.
How to fix it
- 01
step 1
Close and restart Roblox
Shut down the Roblox Player completely. On Windows, check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for any lingering RobloxPlayerBeta.exe processes and end them. On Mac, force-quit from the Apple menu. Relaunch and try joining the game again.
- 02
step 2
Check if the game itself is kicking you
Some Roblox games have strict anti-cheat scripts that kick players for specific actions (jumping too fast, using certain avatar accessories, or even having a new account). Try joining a different game — if that works, the issue is with the specific game's kick script, not your account.

step 3
Disable browser extensions and overlays
Extensions like ad blockers, screen recorders, or FPS overlays (Discord overlay, Medal, etc.) can inject code into the Roblox process. Some anti-cheat scripts detect this as exploit behavior and kick you. Disable them and rejoin.

step 4
Clear Roblox cache files
On Windows, press Win+R, type %localappdata%\Roblox\logs, and delete the contents. Then go to %temp% and delete any Roblox-related folders. On Mac, go to ~/Library/Logs/Roblox. This removes corrupted session data that can trigger false kicks.

step 5
Check your account standing
Log in to roblox.com and check for any moderation messages in Settings → Account Info → Moderation. If your account has been flagged, you may be getting kicked from games automatically until the moderation action expires.
How to verify the fix
- Rejoin the same game that kicked you and play for at least 5 minutes without getting disconnected
- Join 2-3 different games to confirm the error is not following you across servers
- Check the Roblox Developer Console (F9 in-game) — no kick-related messages should appear in the output
Why 267 happens at the runtime level
Error 267 is generated client-side when the Roblox game server sends a disconnect packet with reason code 267 over the RUDP (Reliable UDP) protocol that Roblox uses for game networking. The server triggers this when a Lua script calls Player:Kick(reason) via the ServerScriptService, or when Roblox's internal anti-exploit heuristics detect memory manipulation, speed anomalies, or injected DLLs in the client process. The client receives the disconnect frame, tears down the replication session, and surfaces the error dialog with whatever kick message the server script provided.
Common debug mistakes for 267
- Assuming you're banned — Error 267 is a game-level kick, not a platform ban, so reinstalling Roblox or creating a new account wastes time and solves nothing.
- Reinstalling Roblox entirely — the kick comes from the server, not from corrupted local files, so a full reinstall (which can take 10+ minutes) changes nothing.
- Blaming your internet connection first — while lag can trigger some kicks, most 267 errors come from the game's anti-cheat script, not your network.
- Using a VPN to bypass the kick — many Roblox anti-cheat scripts detect VPN IP ranges and kick even faster, making the problem worse.
- Ignoring browser extensions — ad blockers and accessibility extensions can inject JavaScript into the Roblox web client, triggering exploit detection.
When 267 signals a deeper problem
If Error 267 follows you across multiple different games and persists after clearing cache and restarting, your Roblox client may have been flagged by Roblox's Byfron anti-cheat system (Hyperion). Byfron runs at the kernel level on Windows and detects DLL injection, memory editing tools, and certain overlay software. Even having Cheat Engine installed (not running) can trigger Byfron's heuristics. The deeper issue is that a process on your computer is being detected as a threat — uninstall any cheat tools, macro software, or auto-clickers completely, not just close them.
Editor's take
Error 267 is probably the single most misunderstood error in Roblox. The panic it causes is wildly disproportionate to what it actually means. A twelve-year-old sees "You were kicked from this game" and immediately assumes their account is banned, their parents' money is gone, and their Robux inventory is lost. None of that is true. Error 267 is the digital equivalent of a bouncer at a club saying "not tonight" — you can walk to the next club and get in just fine.
The confusion stems from Roblox giving game developers enormous power over the kick mechanism. Any developer can write a Lua script that calls Player:Kick() with any message they want. Some developers write helpful messages ("Kicked for AFK timeout"), but many write alarming ones ("EXPLOIT DETECTED — BANNED") even when the player did nothing wrong. The kick message is developer-authored text, not an official Roblox moderation action. Understanding this distinction saves hours of anxiety.
The technical reality is that most 267 kicks come from overly aggressive anti-cheat scripts that flag false positives. A player on a slow connection who rubber-bands (teleports briefly due to lag) can trigger a speed-hack detector. A player using a high-DPI mouse with rapid clicks can trigger an auto-clicker detector. These are engineering false positives, not evidence of cheating.
For parents reading this: if your child gets Error 267, the first question is whether it happens in one game or all games. One game means the game's developer kicked them — nothing to worry about. All games means something on the computer is triggering Roblox's anti-cheat, and you should check for any downloaded cheat tools or suspicious software.

Frequently asked questions
Does Error Code 267 mean I'm banned?
No. Error 267 is a game-level kick, not an account ban. Bans show different messages and prevent you from logging in entirely. Error 267 means a specific game server removed you — you can usually rejoin or play other games immediately.
Why do I keep getting Error 267 in one specific game but not others?
That game likely has a custom anti-cheat script (Lua code running on the server) that flags something about your client — your connection speed, avatar setup, account age, or detected software. The game developer controls this, not Roblox. Contact the game's developer or check their Discord/social media for known issues.
Can using Roblox on a school or work network cause Error 267?
Yes. School and corporate networks often use firewalls or proxy filters that interfere with Roblox's UDP game traffic. The server sees your connection dropping packets and may kick you for instability. Try playing on a home or mobile network instead.
