Found a temporary fix. A user named twostars came up with it.
Go to the start menu and search for "cmd".
When the black command box opens up, type in "hdwwiz.exe" and hit enter.
When the hardware thingy comes up, click next.
Click the option that lets you install the hardware that you pick (Advanced) and then click next.
Scroll down and find Network Adapters, click it, then hit next.
Click Microsoft for the Manufacturer, then on the right, scroll down and find Loopback Adapter, then hit next.
Proceed and let it download, then try joining a game.
Note:when you join a game it will still say roblox is updating for a few seconds, but it will join, just let it go. Reply if this worked for you. |

It's safe. The point is creating an ethernet adapter it can see.
It doesn't need to do anything (and this doesn't). It just needs to be there.
It won't harm anything.
This is why it works:

Thank Arceus and Celestia that worked. I was just baffled at what it was doing. I figured at first, "Maybe I need to update ROBLOX studio first..."
Nope! That didn't work. Then I looked at the forums, found this, and cried with joy when it worked. |

This isn't risky at all, it harms nothing on your computer, it simply creates an adapter that ROBLOX can see. The reason this was happening is because roblox gets confused for some reason and doesn't know where to port the update to. This will fix that. If you don't trust it just because you use the command prompt to locate the hardware wizard, then you are simply an idiot and should just wait for 10 years until ROBLOX fixes this themselves. But don't scare other users with your stupidity. Good day. |

Also the reason that this happens is there is a faulty code in the update. that doesn't check to see if you have a wireless adapter connected. Guaranteed all of you having this problem are using wireless internet.. No? You are all in shock now. |
