Troubleshooting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Connection Issues
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has launched, but some players are encountering frustrating connection problems. A common error message, "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version," prevents players from joining friends' games. Here's how to resolve this issue:
This error indicates a version mismatch; your game isn't updated. The simplest solution is to return to the main menu and allow the game to update. However, this doesn't always resolve the problem.
If the error persists after attempting an in-game update, restart the game. This forces a fresh update check. While this requires a short wait, it's a crucial step.

If the problem remains after restarting, try searching for a match. In some cases, initiating a match search allows other players to join your party, bypassing the error. This may require several attempts.
These steps should resolve the "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
