Cannot join games without being connected to VPN

@Outrun1986 The operations team has identified one potential source of your issue and has made an update that may help. Please let us know if the issue seems to improve for you.

Seems to be fixed for me.

Can you tell me the cause of the problem (if you can, and it’s not some top secret information?)

Although the issue isn’t fixed for me yet (at least not without a VPN), on the bright side I recently purchased a paid VPN service which seems to work just fine without any lag as prior to before.

I noticed this around 2 years ago, eventually I could get in without the VPN. Just give it a week or so I would say. that’s is how long it took for me.

(EDIT) Oh, I thought his was a recent post, I recommend Emailing Roblox on the subject, as they make an update

Things to include in the email: Internet you are using, Specs, and area in the world. as all of those things could have a factor within this error

After around 3-4 months of giving up, I recently tried switching from my 5G band, to my 2.4GHz band, fixing the solution. My understanding is that Roblox might not be compatible yet with 5G, I’ll update later if the problem reoccurs, but for now it seems fine.

It seems that after a few days, the issue still persists. I did however, hopefully, find another fix that may be or may not be temporary. I port forwarded Roblox, and it seems that after a few tries of joining a game, I am successful.

That is a problem that I’m already having since like 3 or 4 years.
The only solution is using a vpn.

The problem started to appear after my isp did some internal changes in their network.

The only difference that I found in the logs between a join with vpn and without vpn is that,

with vpn:

So yeah I think that it has something to with the schema that couldn’t be correctly initialized.

I’m still hoping for fix for this problem.

Alright, I know it’s been forever, but I called my ISP and asked them to slow down how fast my ip address changes, before being every 10 seconds, to now being until I turn my router off. It seems like Roblox cannot recognize the ip when it changes so often. So I recommend contacting your ISP, most likely they should do it without charge.
