Cross-game symptom router
Not sure which game guide you need?
Pick the closest symptom to jump straight to the reviewed guide that answers it. The game and key difference stay visible in the static page, so you can route even before the guide loads. Numbered error codes such as 277, 279, and 403 are Roblox messages; Minecraft routes by symptom instead.

Routing FAQ
Which guide do I need?
How do I know if my problem is a Roblox error or a Minecraft error?
Read the exact on-screen message. Numbered codes such as 277, 279, and 403 are Roblox messages, while Minecraft shows wording like "Connection timed out", "Outdated client", or "Failed to verify username". Match the wording to the game, then open that game’s guide.
Which guide should I open if a game just will not connect?
For Roblox, start with the 277 vs 279 vs 403 comparison to match your exact message. For Minecraft, start with the "can’t connect to server" guide and confirm the address, edition, and version before changing your network.
How do I tell whether a game is down for everyone or only for me?
Check the official status source for that game, then try a second known-good experience or server and, if safe, another network. Use the Roblox status guide or the "Is Minecraft down?" guide for the ordered checks specific to each platform.
A "fix" site is asking for my game password. Is that safe?
No. No reviewed guide here ever needs your password, browser cookie, recovery code, or two-step code. Real sign-in and repairs happen only through the official platform. Leave any status, server-list, or "fixer" site that requests those.
