A game error message
An error is a piece of information displayed when an unexpected event occurs. Error messages are used when user intervention is required, to indicate that a desired operation has failed, or to relay important warnings (such as warning a computer user that they are almost out of hard disk space). Error messages are seen widely throughout Roblox and are part of every Roblox version.
In Roblox, if an error has occurred in the game, a dialog box will show up with a message, usually requiring the player to rejoin, causing the game's background to blur.
When on the website, most error messages will be the only content shown on-screen besides the header and footer.
Common website errors are:
- Unknown error
- 403 error
- 404 error
- 500 error
- 400 error
- Bad Request
