How to fix error code 529 in Roblox

This issue is caused by Roblox' servers. Here's how to deal with it swiftly.

Roblox errors are mostly categorized into two groups: server-sided and player-sided issues. Roblox error code 529 is one of those that has nothing to do with the player or their system but it is an issue caused by the Roblox servers. While your hands might be tied, there are quite a few solutions that may actually work. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about error code 529 in Roblox and its potential fixes!

What does the code 529 mean in Roblox?

Error code 529 in Roblox is an HTTP error. This means there's a problem with the connection between your device and Roblox's servers. You might see messages like: “We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later. (Error Code: 529)” or “An HTTP error has occurred. Please close the client and try again. (Error Code: 529).”

This error usually happens when Roblox’s servers are too busy or undergoing maintenance. This means the problem is not with your computer or your internet connection but with Roblox itself. That may be good or bad news because it means that there is nothing wrong with your connection or your PC. However, it also means that you don’t have much to do but wait for Roblox employees to fix the issue.

How to fix Roblox error code 529

As mentioned, there is not much you can do as the issue is server-based and it has nothing to do with your connection or PC. However, you can still tryout a couple of general fixes that have the potential to work on almost all the issues, here they are:

Check Roblox Server Status

The first thing to do is check whether Roblox's servers are working properly. You can find this information on the official Roblox website or their social media pages. If the servers are down, you will need to wait until they are fixed.

Change Your DNS Settings

Changing your DNS settings might help you connect better to Roblox. Google Public DNS is known for being fast and reliable.

Here’s how to change your DNS settings:

Go to the Control Panel on your PC.
Click on "Network and Internet" and then "Network Connections."
On the left-hand menu, click on "Change adapter settings."
Right-click on your network adapter and choose "Properties."
Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click on "Properties."
Choose the option "Use the following DNS server addresses:"
Type 8.8.8.8 in the "Preferred DNS server" box.
Type 8.8.4.4 in the "Alternate DNS server" box.
Click "OK" to save the changes.
Disable Firewalls and Antivirus Software

Sometimes, your firewall or antivirus software can mistakenly block Roblox. Try temporarily turning off these programs to see if that fixes the error. This might be a long shot, so after you try launching the game without the firewall and antivirus software, don’t forget to turn them back on so that you don’t face any bigger issues.

Restart Your Router

Restarting your router can solve network issues that might be causing the error. To do this:

Turn off your router and unplug it.
Wait a few minutes.
Plug the router back in and turn it on.
Try connecting to Roblox again.

Reinstall Roblox

If none of the above-mentioned fixes help you out, you might need to reinstall Roblox. This can help if there are issues with the program files. Here's how to reinstall Roblox:

Uninstall Roblox from your computer.
Make sure all Roblox files are deleted from your computer.
Download Roblox again from their official website.
Install Roblox and start the program.

These steps can help you solve or avoid Roblox error code 529. If you keep having problems, it might be best to contact Roblox's support team for more help.
