Roblox Error Code 273, same account launched the experience from another device

Error code 273 means the same account launched the experience from a different device while you were already in a game, so this session was disconnected. It is the in-game version of error 264, and it can also appear if a warning or a ban lands on the account mid-session.

The fix, in order

  1. Close Roblox on the other device. Only one device can run the experience on the same account, so decide which device keeps playing and close the other one.
  2. Sign out of all other sessions. In Roblox settings, go to Security and sign out everywhere else, then sign back in on the device you are using.
  3. After rejoining, check for a warning message. If a warning or ban notice appears on the account page, that was the other cause of the kick, and the account page will say what it was for.
  4. If you do not recognize the other device, change your password. An unexpected 273 can mean someone else has the login, so set a new password and turn on two-step verification.
  5. Rejoin the experience. Once the other session is closed, the error clears on the next join.

If it still happens

If 273 keeps kicking you mid-game and no other device is in use, sign out everywhere, change the password, and watch for a warning or ban notice when you sign back in. Repeated 273 kicks with no other session and no warning point to a stuck session, which usually clears after a few minutes, or to an account issue that Roblox support needs to look at.

Common questions

What is the difference between error 264 and error 273? Error 264 usually appears when joining, because the account is already active elsewhere. Error 273 kicks you out mid-game, because the account launched the experience on another device while you were playing, or a warning or ban arrived during the session.

Does error 273 mean I was banned? Not by itself. It most often means another device launched the game. If a ban or warning was the cause, Roblox shows that notice when you sign back in or visit the account page.

Why does 273 happen when I only own one device? A session can stay open in the background after a crash, or the account may be signed in somewhere you forgot, such as a phone or console. Signing out of all other sessions ends those sessions.
