🔍 The Diagnosis

This error shows the message: "Disconnected from game, possibly due to game joined from another device."

What causes this error?

  • ⚠️ Someone logged into your account from another device (potential hack)
  • ⚠️ You logged in on your phone/tablet while playing on PC
  • ⚠️ You've been warned, banned, or terminated and tried to join a game

🛠️ The Fix

If you see Error 273, follow these steps immediately:

1

Did You Log In From Another Device?

First, think: did you recently open Roblox on your phone, a friend's computer, or a tablet? If yes, this is normal behavior. Roblox only allows one active session per account, so the older session gets disconnected.

If you did NOT log in elsewhere → go to Step 2 immediately. Someone may have your password.

2

Change Your Password NOW

Go to Settings → Security → Change Password on the Roblox website. Use a strong, unique password that you don't use for any other account.

3

Enable 2-Step Verification

Go to Settings → Security → 2-Step Verification and turn it on. This adds an extra layer of security — even if someone gets your password, they can't log in without the verification code.

4

Log Out of All Other Sessions

In Settings → Security, click "Log out of all other sessions." This kicks the hacker out of your account everywhere.

Account Secured! 🎉

Your account is now protected. If you think someone accessed your account, also check your Roblox inventory and Robux balance for any unauthorized changes.
