It's a classic error that has popped up several times in recent CoD titles. Here's how to fix Error Code 2901 in Black Ops 6.
What causes Error Code 2901 in Black Ops 6?
Error Code 2901 in Black Ops 6 is often accompanied with a "Lobby not found" message. There is a disruption between your console or PC and Activision's servers, and a lobby is unable to be created.
Despite it's description, this isn't normally an internet problem. It's likely more to do with your game and account loading after starting the game. As a result, restarting your internet connection isn't a standard fix for this error.

The main fix for Error Code 2901 for Xbox users is to simply restart your game. Most users reported the error clearing up after a game restart, but I recommend restarting your console too just to be sure.
This fix should work for most console users encountering the "Lobby not found" error. Be sure to start the game and attempt to queue up or party with friends to confirm the error has cleared up.
But what if you're on PC, or a console restart didn't fix the error? Here's a short list of solutions you can try:
- Check the status of Activision's servers. It's possible there may be an outage affecting all players, so swing by the Call of Duty support page for the latest updates.
- Check for an update to Black Ops 6. After restarting your game, you may be prompted to download an update. Be sure this update is completed before you open Black Ops 6.
- Confirm your Activision account is linked to your Steam or Xbox Live account. This is a common error for those on PC or using Game Pass. Head to the Activision website, login, then head to settings and make sure your connected accounts are correct. If not, deactivate and reconnect them.
- Verify your game files (PC). To verify your files:
- Steam
- Head to your Library and right-click on Call of Duty.
- Select Properties, then Installed Files.
- Select "Verify integrity of game files" and wait for the verification to be completed.
