Connection Failures

There are several reasons that worlds will not open properly.

Narrowed down, there are two main things that can happen: A: Roblox will not start. B: Roblox opens, but the world never loads.

Roblox doesn't start

There are several things that can cause Roblox not to open when you try to connect to a world with your browser.

First thing to check, is see what browser you are using. Currently, the Roblox web site and the inbuilt browser you use in the Roblox Studio are using Internet Explorer, and that is all the Roblox can start from at the moment. Firefox and Oppera are not yet supported, and you will have to either use Internet Explorer to open it, or go into Roblox Studio, where the page will open up. If you try to connect to a world without IE, you may get an error message that says "Roblox cannot start from your web browser," and that is the very error that this is.

If you aren't getting any messages, nothing at all is happening, and you are using IE 7 and the current version of Roblox, then your best bet is to re-install.

Roblox opens, but the world never loads

There are few instances that this can occur, but it does happen, and could be for several reasons:

• 1: The map is bad.

Quite simply. the map is bad. something happened when the map was made, there is some bad script, or something is preventing the map from working properly. Inform the maker of the problem, there is nothing you can do about it.

• 2: The map loaded incorrectly.

Exit and re-join the map, the map crashed.

• 3: Your internet is slow, and the map is big.

If you are playing on the internet on really slow service, and the map is big, it can take a good bit of time to actually download the map. Give it a little while.

• 4: The map DID load.

If the map seems to be running, but it is unusually devoid of stuff, then the maker was just lazy, and the map did in fact load. The maker probably just didn't do anything with the map, so it is empty. You can tell when a map is done loading, a chime is sounded.
