Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Issues: Fixing the "Join Failed" Error
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived, but some players are encountering frustrating connection problems. A common error, "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version," prevents players from joining friends' matches. Here's how to resolve this issue.
The error message indicates an outdated game version. The first step is to return to the main menu and allow the game to update. However, some players report this doesn't always resolve the problem.
If the error persists after attempting an in-game update, restarting the game is recommended. This forces a fresh update check. While this requires a short wait, it's a necessary step to ensure you're running the latest version.

If these steps fail, try searching for a match. In some cases, initiating a match search allows friends to join your party, even if the error initially appeared. This might require multiple attempts, but it offers a potential workaround.
This concludes the troubleshooting guide for the "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error in Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
