Roblox error code 524 most commonly appears when you're trying to join a game, but it can also show up while you're playing, causing you to be kicked from a session. One of the error messages that you can receive reads, "Not authorised to join this game. (Error Code: 524)". 

There are a few reasons that this error can occur, ranging from issues on your end to issues on the end of Roblox itself. Here are some solutions to fix Roblox error code 524.

Check Your Account Age

Many Roblox servers and modes don't allow completely new players, meaning you need to have an account that's at least 30 days old. The best way to see this is by checking your emails to see the date your account was created, and calculating how long you have until it reaches 30 days. 

Check Roblox Servers

Sometimes the problem can lie on the end of Roblox, meaning their servers are running into problems. You can check the status of the servers on this page here to see if you need to wait or try another fix. 

Change Privacy Settings

You may not be able to join a game due to the privacy settings set up on your account. This is quite easy to change with a few steps:

  1. Open the Roblox app and log into your account. 
  2. Click the settings icon in the top right corner.
  3. In the settings for the game, click 'Privacy', scroll down to 'Other Settings, and then under 'Who can invite me to private servers?', select 'Everyone'. 

Clear Browser Cookies And Cache

If you are playing Roblox on your browser, you may need to reset your cookies, which can cause seemingly random issues. We'll cover how to do this for Google Chrome.

  1. Click the Settings icon (three dots) on the top right of the browser.
  2. In the menu, select 'Settings'.
  3. Scroll down to the 'Privacy and security' section, and select 'Clear browsing data'. 
  4. Do the same for the 'Cookies and other site data' section. 

If after all these potential fixes, error code 524 still appears, your best bet is to contact Roblox support. 

That's all for our primer on how to fix Roblox error code 524, and now you have an idea of how to stop the bug where you are kicked from games.
