Client Kills Wi-Fi Connection

Hmm, the weird thing is that on the ODD occasion, the ROBLOX player starts the loading and I can see some of the map forming, but it never fully loads and the Wifi disconnects way before it is done.

The wifi kinda feels like its being ddosed as it goes very slow, then dies and then I have to wait a couple of minutes. I know the ROBLOX player isn’t ddosing me but that’s what it feels like :smiley:

I’m not sure if this is related but I also started getting this problem, but it wasn’t just on when using Roblox, it happens when I’m playing other games (Overwatch in particular) and even just browsing the web, it also happens when I’m using Team Create.

My ping visibly climbs to 650+, once even up to 1800, and it also kills all the devices on the wifi.

I’ve checked and it only happens when my computer is connected, and mine is the only one with Roblox on.

Flushing my DNS cache fixes the problem for about 5 seconds, then it’s back to how it was.

Same here! I also try resetting my wifi adapter.

It’s very annoying ; (

Is this happening to anyone else? : /

If I may mention, the new “Kicked for high ping” Apocalypse Rising update did not help my stuttering wi-fi situation at all, @Gusmanak . My friend Steve_U and I both got kicked repeatedly although neither of us experienced any heavy lag (needless to say we don’t lagswitch). Kicking players for high ping definitely isn’t the answer to whatever you were aiming to fix. This is the line where i’ll stop playing AR until solutions can be made to this wi-fi problem.

I don’t like to bump, much less my own posts, but is there any word on Roblox looking into this issue? I was just at my WIP game and it cut my wi-fi about 2 minutes in, so this is still a problem for me.

Yeah, I’m still experiencing this, although my Wifi cuts out after about 10 seconds - it can sometimes be as long as 2 minutes and as short as 2 seconds, though.

Could it be that your router has packet flood protection that’s triggering because Roblox client is sending/receiving a lot of what looks like random (i.e. encrypted) UDP packets?

Hey! Sorry for the late resonse!

Well, after further research, It can’t be to do with my WiFi because it is fine on my laptop; and yet I still cannot connect to the roblox client on my desktop PC :confused:

On my PC, I join and then all I see is the skybox - In task manager it shows that I am recieveing 2-3 mbps so the ROBLOX client is definitely recieving data to try and load the game but then I just get CURL errors about connection timeout in the dev console and my internet connection drops for about 1 minute after that and then it is back to normal again.

When those errors start occurring, do you see an explicit disconnect? I.e. on your PC, change your wifi network settings to not connect automatically, and then connect manually, and see if it disconnects on its own, while you’re running Roblox.

Well it doesn’t actually “Disconnect”, it usually goes “Limited” or still stays showing connected but my browser or any other internet related thing does’t work after starting the ROBLOX client.

One more thing: if you have a laptop connected to the same wifi network, does the Limited sign appear on both computers when Roblox is running on your desktop PC, or just the PC?

Nope, just the desktop :confused:

Good! Here’s one more thing to try: see if your router supports wifi transfer speeds higher than baseline 56 Mbit/s. If so, set it to 56 and try again.

OK, yes - the router supports speeds higher than 56 Mbit/s!!

Set what to 56? As far as I know, the router is running at the max speed it is recieving.

So just to test the thing, set the router max transmission speed to the baseline 56Mbit/s and try running Roblox. I’ve seen quite a few wifi chips/usb dongles promising support for greater speeds, and then failing miserably.

OK, I set it to the baseline which was actually 54Mbit/s and Roblox still didn’t work :frowning:

Any ideas?

Well, I ran out of ideas, tbh. Maybe try using a (different) wifi dongle, if you have one, and see if it breaks.

i think i have the same issue but it still says the wifi is connected (on mac)
