How to Fix “An unknown error occurred” on Roblox

Are you facing an “An unknown error occurred” error when you try to log in to Roblox?

You can get this error message on both the Roblox mobile and PC apps.

It restricts you from signing in and reloading Roblox will not get rid of it.

Roblox is a virtual experience that allows you to play with friends and build anything using your imagination.

A myriad of experiences is available due to the community that you can join.

Regardless of what you’re looking for, whether it is a challenge, an adventure, or fun, there’s something new every day.

The game comes with cross-platform support and it can be played on PC, mobile, Xbox, or VR headset.

In this post, I will guide you on how to fix the “An unknown error occurred” login error on Roblox followed by “Please try again”.

Why does Roblox say an unknown error occurred?

Roblox says an unknown error occurred due to a bug/glitch.

If you’re experiencing the error message when you try to log in, it might be due to the outage of Roblox.

There are two ways to find out if Roblox is down.

The first thing is to visit this URL: downdetector.com/status/roblox/.

After opening it, see if there is a huge spike in the number of reports.

If you come across a sudden spike in the graph, it indicates that Roblox is probably down.

This is the second way of checking the status of Roblox from this link https://status.roblox.com/.

However, the Roblox status website does not always show accurate results as it only keeps the report of major errors.
