While playing Roblox, “The game is currently not available, try again later? (Error Code: 517)” or “This game has ended (Error Code: 517)” normally appears.
Reasons for Error 517
Normally the error appears when you join a game or you are playing the game and suddenly experience the problem. Users have also experienced the issue when they have used their accounts on new devices. Here are the reasons why the error appears on your screen.
1- Corrupt Files
One of the most basic and probably unknown for many reasons is a corrupt file. Here corrupt files don’t mean, corrupt files of Roblox. Instead, it means there are corrupt files in the script of the game provided by the admin.

4- Mid Game
If you have shut down the game instantly or have turned off, your phone (if you are on mobile devices) then you might have corrupted your account’s data or the game’s script which can stop you from the game’s access.
5- Slow Server
There is a possibility that the server you are using is slow and you can reach the game. Or there are too many users on the server and there is no room for you.

If you are using an earlier version of Roblox then you are probably out of date.
7- Slow Internet connection
