3. Solve the port forwarding problems

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a feature of your internet settings used by Roblox as Roblox is an online multiplayer gaming platform.

Sometimes the disabled UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) setting of your internet causes the Roblox error 103. You must change the UPnP settings to fix the port forwarding problems.

Here are the steps to solve the port forwarding issue;

1. Turn on your computer, open the browser, and type in one of the IP addresses to access the router’s settings. (IP 1: 192.168.1.1) (IP 2: 192.168.0.1)
2. A login page will be opened. Login by entering your login details. If this is your first time, input ‘admin’ as your username and ‘1234’ as the password.
3. After you have logged in, select the ‘Advanced‘ menu and choose the ‘NAT Forwarding.’
4. Find the UPnP setting and enable it.
5. Finally, save all the changes, reboot your Xbox, and play a game on your Roblox account to check if error 103 has been resolved.

4. Perform power cycling

If the above procedures don’t fix the error code 103 on Xbox, it means temporary data stored on the Xbox RAM is causing the error. You can perform a power cycling process that will eliminate all the bugs.

Here’s how to power cycle your Xbox One;

1. Turn on your Xbox and ensure it’s in idle
2. Long-press the Xbox button for 15 seconds until the LED light turns off and you hear the fans turning off.
3. Your console must be powered off. Remove all the power cables from the power outlet and Xbox. Now, wait for a minute.
4. Plugin the power cables after a minute and turn on the Xbox
5. Wait for the startup to complete.
6. Once the startup has been completed, open the Roblox account on your Xbox to see if Error 103 persists.

(If the startup animation lasts longer than 5 seconds, the power cycling procedure was successful.)

5. Final fix: Reinstall the game

If none of the above fixes have worked, the bad game installation is causing the Roblox error code 103. Unfortunately, the only way to fix the error is to reinstall the game.

Here’s how to reinstall the game on Roblox;

2. Now scroll down through the installed app and games list and find the ‘Roblox‘ option.
