it has probably been some error on the server, not sure through why would that happen, but i would think it’s uncommon to see that, but it’s not something dangerous… except if you saw a cmd window appearing for a second and then closing, but if you didn’t, you’re fine

Apparently Google says that: Roblox error code 285, a "client initiated disconnect," typically results from a problem with the game's connection to the server or a server-side issue.

2 weeks ago -
(The image is entirely to get to know what game I'm on) Roblox has kept kicking me and my brother out of Animal Hospital for already three times in a row every 10-15-20 minutes. We can't even get past shift 3-4 because of that issue, and I tried contacting people for help on this issue but no one seems to know, and NO, it's not my PC, my PC is working perfectly fine even we made some restarts and fixed it some time ago. This is entirely a Roblox issue that it's literally getting complicated to play, if someone can contact Roblox and ask for help or to fix it, it would be appreaciated. It happened yesterday as well when I was on Dolly's Factory, then when I went to Dandy's World, two times. Then it stopped. Please contact Roblox and find a solution, I beg you!

for over 2 months, i've had the same issue.
at absolute random, my game client will completely cease sending info to the server. this is not a GAME freeze, this is a client freeze. i can still move, but everything will be frozen at one point in time and will never move from that point unless i rejoin. this is caused by error code 285, i know this for certain because in the logs it says "Disconnect with reason: 285" and i have tried every last thing to solve this, but no matter what it persists. at this point, reddit is my last resort. please, help me.
