Why does error 268 say unexpected client behavior?

Roblox error 268 triggers when the game detects your client behaving differently from a standard Roblox installation. This most commonly happens when exploit tools are running but can also be caused by antivirus interference or non-standard system configurations.

Can error 268 get me banned from Roblox?

Error 268 itself is a disconnect error and does not cause a ban. However if error 268 is triggered because Roblox detected actual exploit usage your account may also receive a separate moderation action. The error and any ban are handled independently.

I don't use cheats but still get error 268. Why?

Some legitimate software can trigger error 268. Antivirus programs, certain Discord overlays, GeForce Experience overlay, and some screen recording software have been reported to cause false positive 268 errors. Try disabling overlays and adding Roblox to your antivirus exceptions.

How is error 268 different from error 267?

Error 267 is a game-level kick triggered by a specific game's anti-cheat or admin. Error 268 is a platform-level disconnect triggered by Roblox's own systems detecting unexpected client behavior. Error 268 is considered more serious as it comes from Roblox directly.
