Some games are purposely locked by developers, which is why you might be unable to access the game. However, this error can also occur if there is corruption in ROBLOX cache data or if the default DNS is not working properly with Roblox. Before you start applying the following methods, we recommend that you restart your computer and router. Sometimes a simple restart fixes connection and authentication errors.
1. Log out and log in.
Your login cookies may become corrupted; hence, Roblox is not allowing you to enter the game. Cookies are small pieces of text that can be used by a website or application to remember the user’s information. Cookies are created by the application or website when you sign up or log in. Every time you log in, the new cookies will be sent to your browser by the website with the help of your login credentials. If you have been playing this game for a long time and are receiving this error message, try logging out and then logging back into your Roblox application or website. In this way, you will be able to create new login cookies, which might fix the error. To do so, Open the Roblox Player and log out from there. Once you have logged out, open it and log in. Then, try entering the game that shows you the error code 403.
2. Delete the Roblox cache folder.
The Roblox cache folder contains data that the application requires and that the user frequently accesses, such as log files, local storage, cookies, and cache files of images, saved games, etc. Thus, the application won’t need to request data from the server, which takes time and can result in a poor User Experience (UX). Therefore, cache files store data that the user wants or accesses frequently. So, if there is corruption in the Roblox cache folder, it won’t work properly, which can result in this error message. Therefore, try clearing the Roblox cache folder. This action will recreate the cache folder when you launch Roblox again. To do so, follow these steps:
3. Try the Roblox Microsoft Store version.
Roblox error code 403 can also occur when players commit mistakes such as harassment or promoting toxicity. One user confirmed that whenever he received this error on the browser, he had to use the Microsoft Store Roblox version with a new account to avoid the error. You cannot encounter Roblox error code 403 after getting banned because it is not a hardware IP ban. Instead, you can consider it more like a browser ban, as users can access the game by simply creating a new Roblox account and using the Microsoft Store version. This indicates that it is not a permanent ban or IP ban. Now, if you are thinking of creating a new account and logging in through the same browser to fix this error, unfortunately, you are mistaken. You will have to create an account and log in to the Roblox application, which should be installed through the Microsoft Store. In this way, you will be able to avoid the error message and play the game. Follow the instructions:
4. Use Google DNS.
If your default DNS is not stable, you may receive this error message, as slow DNS reduces overall internet performance, which can lead to this error. DNS, or Domain Name System, is used to convert human-readable names into IP addresses so that the browser can understand the address and communicate with the server to fetch the requested data. Hence, if your DNS is slow, it will result in slow performance, which may lead to this error. Therefore, try changing the default DNS to the Google DNS server, which is often faster, more reliable, and more secure than the default DNS server. To integrate Google DNS, follow these steps:
5. Allow Roblox through Windows Firewall settings.
If you are still encountering the error message, you need to ensure that Roblox is allowed in the firewall settings. The Windows firewall monitors incoming and outgoing data to protect the computer from unauthorized access. There is a small possibility that the Windows firewall is not allowing Roblox to communicate with the game server. Hence, try allowing Roblox and check whether the error is fixed or not.
6. Appeal for a Ban.
If error code 43 persists even after attempting all the solutions, you should contact the Roblox appeal team and briefly describe the problem. However, this method will only work if you have not violated Roblox Community Standards.
