How to fix Roblox disconnected error on PS4

You may end up seeing the following error when playing the PlayStation 4 version of Roblox:

Disconnected. Please check your internet connection and try again. (Error Code: 277)

To see how you can stop the game from disconnecting, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. The disconnections may be temporary. To test this theory out, select the Reconnect option in the error message.

2. If you still can’t connect to the server, then we recommend checking the official Roblox Twitter account to see if there is any downtime.

If there are server issues, then there is not much you can do other than to wait before they are fixed before you can play the game again.

3. If the Roblox servers appear to be fine, then there may be something wrong with your internet connection.

In this case, avoid downloading or streaming on the same network you are using to play Roblox.

4. You can also try power cycling your home network by doing the following:

  • Turn off your PS4 or PS5.
  • Turn off your router and modem.
  • Wait a few minutes.
  • Turn back on your router and modem.
  • Wait for the internet connection to go online.
  • Turn back on your PS4 or PS5.
  • Open Roblox and then try to connect online.

How to fix frame rate issues in the PS4 version of Roblox

You may notice that the PlayStation 4 version of Roblox may not run as smoothly as you would like. To see how you can potentially fix the frequent frame rate droops and stutters, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you can try turning down the Graphics Quality by doing the following:

  • Press the Options button while you are in a game to open the Roblox menu.
  • Use the L1 and R1 buttons to switch tabs until you get to Settings.
  • In Settings, make sure that Graphics Mode is set to Manual.
  • Afterwards, use the Graphics Quality bar to reduce the text quality in the game.

2. Some Roblox experiences may also come with visual effects that can be turned on, which could lead to a smoother frame rate.

To access these options, look for the Settings menu for that particular experience. If you see visual effect options (such as shadows, fog and more) try to disable them to see if it helps improve the fps.

3. If possible, you can also try playing the PS4 version of Roblox on better hardware. The PlayStation 4 Pro should be able to run the game with better performance.

Of course, you should be able to get a much better frame rate by playing Roblox on the newer PlayStation 5 console.

4. It is also important to note that some of the Roblox games may be more demanding when compared to others. So, if you find the frame rate to be too distracting in one experience, then you can try playing another one to see if the fps is smoother there.

5. It is a good idea that you keep the PS4 version updated as well since a new patch may help improve the frame rate due to better optimization.

How to reset your avatar position in the PS4 version of Roblox

1. While inside a Roblox experience, press the Options button on the DualShock 4 or DualSense to open the Roblox menu.

2. In the pop-up menu, select Respawn Character.

How to close pop-ups in the PS4 version of Roblox

When playing a Roblox game on your PS4, you may get menus or notifications that appear and stay on the screen. To see how you can close these pop-ups, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

Before we start, it should be noted that Roblox started out on the PC; therefore, the user interfaces for a lot of the games are based on using a mouse or keyboard. So, using a DualShock 4 or DualSense can be very cumbersome.

In order to close pop-ups, you have to bring up the Game Toggle Menu. This will let you switch the controls from gameplay to menu navigation. In order to do so, press down on the touch pad of your DualSense or DualShock 4 controller.

You should now be able to move around the menus. The navigation is either done with a big circle (similar to a mouse cursor) or from teleporting from one selectable area in the menu to another.

Either way, you should be able to close the pop-ups after you gain control of menu navigation.

How to fix unresponsive controls issues in the PS4 version of Roblox

When launching a Roblox game on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 console, you may find the controls to be unresponsive. To see how you can potentially fix this issue, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

Before we begin, it is important to note that Roblox started out as a PC and mobile game before being ported over to consoles. The development team at Roblox Corporation did a straightforward port to the PS4; as a result, menu navigation feels a lot more clunkier than normal.

If you can’t seem to move around, you can try pressing the touch pad on your DualShock 4 or DualSense. This should enable the Game Menu Toggle, which turns the middle dot you see in the game into a giant circle. Similar to a mouse pointer, you should be able to move the circle around to navigate the menu.

If pressing the touch pad does not work, press the Options button on the controller to open the in-game menu. From there, select the Menu option. In the next screen, press the R1 button several times until you get to the Help tab. You should see a button layout, which may help you find out how to control the Roblox game you are currently playing.

It is also important to note that some Roblox games may not work at all on the PS4 or PS5 even though you can launch them from the home menu.

How to disable crossplay in PS4 version of Roblox

By default, you will be able to play with players on other platforms in the PS4 version of Roblox. If you would rather limit the matchmaking to those on the PlayStation Network, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can disable cross network play.

1. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you are in the home menu in Roblox. If you are currently playing a game, then you can exit by pressing the Options button and then selecting Leave.

2. From the home menu, select the “…” More option on the upper right corner.

3. Afterwards, you need to select Settings.

4. In the new screen, scroll down to the Cross-Platform Play option in the PlayStation Network Settings section. It should show the following description:

You will join experiences with people from all platforms, and you will see more people in more experiences.

5. By default, the Cross-Platform Play option is set to (Recommended) Enabled. To disable this feature, select it with the X button.

6. You can then exit the Settings menu and then head back to the home menu.

The matchmaking in Roblox should now be limited to players on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5.
