Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has seen its fair share of criticism and negative reviews. And when you consider the errors and bugs present in the game, you will understand why players are not happy with the experience it provides. Anyway, in this guide, we have shared details regarding the Error Code 2901 and some potential workarounds to help fix it. So, if you are encountering this issue, consider reading this guide for more information.
Many players are facing this issue, particularly when trying to join matches with friends in a party. Also, one thing to notice from all the player reports so far is that this primarily seems to be an issue with Xbox Consoles and Xbox Game Pass. That said, have the officials acknowledged the issue? What about some player-suggested fixes? Let’s find out.
Call of Duty (COD) Black Ops 6 (BO6) Error Code 2901: Is there any fix yet
Unfortunately, we do not yet have an official fix for this error. What we do have are some player-suggested fixes that may come in handy. So, here are those potential fixes!
Basic checks
The first steps to try include running the game as an administrator to resolve potential permission issues. Additionally, check your internet connection for stability—restart your router if needed, switch to an Ethernet connection for more reliable connectivity, or try a different network altogether. Also, check if the servers are out for maintenance. If that is the case, you have no other choice but to wait.
Xbox fix
For those on an Xbox, press the Xbox button to open the guide, then go to Profile & System > Settings > Account > Remove accounts and remove your account from the console (make sure you have your email address ready to log back in). Next, press and hold the Power button on your Xbox until it turns off, then unplug the power cord from the back of the console. Wait a minute, plug it back in, and turn the console back on. Finally, log in to your account again and set your Xbox as the home console. You can do this by pressing the Xbox button on your controller, then going to Profile & System > Settings > General > Personalization. Select “My home Xbox” and choose “Make this my home Xbox” to designate your current console as the home Xbox.
Invites only
If you are trying to play solo and running into this error, what you could do is try joining other players’ sessions by accepting invitations or inviting others to join your game. This has worked for some allowing them to bypass the error by forcing a different matchmaking or connection process so do give it a shot!
Quit and Restart
Another simple workaround is to quit the game entirely and restart it simply. Several players have reported this as an effective way to bypass the issue, which allowed them to rejoin matches. While not a permanent fix, it seems to resolve whatever underlying issue is causing the matchmaking error for many users.
Avoid some matches
Another workaround involves avoiding the training or private matches that the game may suggest during the free trial. Instead, players have found that jumping straight into normal multiplayer or zombie modes bypasses the issue entirely. So, if you are using the free trial version of Game Pass, it seems the problem is linked to the specific modes or features the game recommends.
Link account
Linking your Activision ID to your primary Xbox Game Pass account is yet another effective solution for Error Code 2901. To link your Activision ID to your main Xbox Game Pass account, log in to your Activision account via the official website or through the game’s settings menu. Navigate to the account linking section, select Xbox as your platform, and sign in with your primary Xbox Game Pass credentials.
Verify Game files
Since the game is available on a few different platforms, here are the ways by which you can get these files verified! For Battle.net, go to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 page on Battle.net, click the cogwheel icon next to the “Play” button, select “Scan and Repair,” and then click “Begin Scan.” Wait for the repair process to complete. If you have a copy of the game on Steam, go to your library, find Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, right-click on it, and select “Properties.” Navigate to the “Installed Files” tab and click “Verify integrity of game files” to start the verification. Finally, for those playing it through Game Pass, open the Xbox app, right-click on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, go to “Manage,” and select the “Files” tab. Then, click “Verify and Repair” to check for any issues with the game files.
Update and Reinstall
Lastly, if nothing works out, check if there are any pending updates for the game; if there are any, install them right away. If the update does not solve the issue or if the game is already up to date, consider reinstalling the game.
