Hello. I have been having issues inside my Roblox game, IsInGroup, GetRankInGroup requests are being blocked.
Is this a Roblox issue? or is this on my end?
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 500 Internal Server Error server error response code indicates that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
This error response is a generic “catch-all” response. Usually, this indicates the server cannot find a better 5xx error code to response. Sometimes, server administrators log error responses like the 500 status code with more details about the request to prevent the error from happening again in the future.

Sorry for the bump, but this issue has been happening continuously with my own game after rebooting the servers when up to 80 players join at once. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It’s severely impacting the functionality of my scripts that use :GetRankInGroup() as an essential function as to whether they go ahead and execute the code or not. If this function fails, it will cause players with certain ranks to be unable to do things that they should be able to and it is quite troublesome.

I will bump this as well because its giving me ALL sorts of headaches.
So far these are the best solutions I found
local GetRoleInGroup: (Who:Player, GroupId:number) -> string
local GetRankInGroup: (Who:Player, GroupId:number) -> number
do --Safe GetRole/GetRank
local RoleCache = {}
local RankCache = {}
function GetRoleInGroup(Who:Player, GroupId:number): string
local Role = RoleCache[GroupId]
Role = Role and Role[Who]
if not Role then
repeat
local Succ, Why = pcall(Who.GetRoleInGroup, Who, GroupId)
Role = Why
task.wait(.3)
until Succ
local Cache = RoleCache[GroupId]
if Cache then
Cache[Who] = Role
else
Cache = {
[Who] = Role
}
RoleCache[GroupId] = Cache
end
end
return Role
end
function GetRankInGroup(Who:Player, GroupId:number): number
local Rank = RankCache[GroupId]
Rank = Rank and Rank[Who]
if not Rank then
repeat
local Succ, Why = pcall(Who.GetRankInGroup, Who, GroupId)
Rank = Why
task.wait(.3)
until Succ
local Cache = RankCache[GroupId]
if Cache then
Cache[Who] = Rank
else
Cache = {
[Who] = Rank
}
RankCache[GroupId] = Cache
end
end
return Rank
end
local function ClearCache(Who:Player)
for i, v in next, RoleCache do
v[Who] = nil
end
for i, v in next, RankCache do
v[Who] = nil
end
end
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(ClearCache)
end
Edit: Added cache just incase roblox doesn’t cache for whatever reason.
