Players in my game have local scripts that are erroring out due to “Player:GetRankInGroup failed because of HTTP unknown error (HttpError: SslConnectFail).” This is completely random and happens when trying to use Player:GetRankInGroup.
Players are having this issue in VOICE 🎤 | Blend V1.5 - Roblox.
This issue started happening this week after I noticed lots of errors containing HttpError: SslConnectFail in different functions which could be unrelated, and it’s now affecting :GetRankInGroup. This user is on Windows 10.
Below is my code that has worked for a year and just now started to stop working from the error above.
While I should probably be pcalling this function, it has only just now started to break, so I thought I should report it.
local Brick = script:WaitForChild("StaffBrick")
local Group = 3078838
local Rank = 3
local Loaded = game:IsLoaded() or game.Loaded:Wait()
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
for i,v in pairs (workspace.Block:GetChildren()) do
v:Destroy()
end
if Player:GetRankInGroup(Group) < Rank then --Line Erroring Out
Brick.Parent = workspace
Brick.Name = "Part"
else
Brick:Destroy()
end
I’m looking through some of our data and I don’t see a lot of ssl errors for our groups endpoint. Maybe it was a transient issue, are your players still having this problem?
I’m glad you were able to work around it! Hopefully the problem isn’t occurring anymore, but if it is I would really appreciate if you could share your findings with me.
Hello! In the time since I’ve setup the system to report these errors yesterday, I’ve had a few occurrences. One of them is new with “HTTP unknown error (HttpError: Timedout)”
I can confirm we’ve also been having this issue.
It’s not super frequent, but it does happen, and we’ve been tracking it.
This is the exact error message:
I’ve been tracking them in popular roleplay groups which get tons of requests, and am getting 1K+ errors a week with multiple reasons. Some reasons are “ConnectFail”, “SslConnectFail”, “DnsResolve”, “Timedout”, and “curl:52, Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)”.
I seem to be getting an increase of HTTP 500 errors being logged across multiple API endpoints, including GetRankInGroup. These errors all occurring in 3 minutes on multiple clients:
This post is not about the recent HTTP 500 errors. I have created a new thread for those specific errors as it’s affecting more endpoints than just GetRankInGroup. Increase In HTTP 500 Errors On API Endpoints
