If you are facing error code 2901 while trying to play Black Ops 6, this guide will help. It shares some working fixes and workarounds that help resolve the issue.
While Black Ops 6 is one of the best Call of Duty games since the MW I and MW II reboots, it suffers from many issues that players often encounter while playing the game.
From errors like couldn’t rename your account to basic ones like display name not accepted to some serious ones like the black flickering screen.
Black Ops 6 has its fair share of technical and network-related issues that often infuriate the experience.
While most of these issues are from the developers’ end, some, like the error code 2901, might be from your end, and you must fix it on your own or with the help of Activision Support.
With that said, here’s my guide on fixing error code 2901 in Black Ops 6.
What is lobby not found error code 2901 in Black Ops 6?
Lobby not found error code 2901 is an issue that mainly arises when trying to play Black Ops 6 through a Gamepass subscription on a shared account.
It can also appear if you are playing the game on the original Gamepass account, which is not set as the home Xbox.
On the other hand, server maintenance is another big reason for the error code 2901.
How to fix lobby not found error code 2901
Before I talk about the fixes, please check the Black Ops 6 server status.
If the game servers are under maintenance, you are likely getting the error code 2901 because of it.
If you are trying to play Black Ops 6 on PC through Gamepass and are getting error code 2901, you must try re-logging into your Activision account while running the game through Gamepass.
To re-login to your Activision account, click the ⚙️ and select the ‘Account & Network’ option.
When the pop-up opens in Chrome or any other browser, clear its Cache and Cookies.
I recommend doing this step even before trying to re-login to your account.
If the issue persists, try to re-log into your Gamepass account.
Setting your Xbox as the primary
For players getting the error on Xbox, ensure your system is set as a home Xbox.
If you don’t know how to set your Xbox or any other as a home Xbox, follow the below steps:
- Turn on the Xbox and log into your account
- Press the Xbox button on your controller
- Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalisation
- Now, select My home Xbox
- Select the status of your Xbox based on the requirement:
- To make the current console your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.
- To remove the current console as your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox > Remove this as my home Xbox.
If the above fixes don’t resolve the issue, try the following basic troubleshooting:
