Travis-Rilea is an error relating to connectivity. It could be a number of things. You could not be properly connected to your internet. The servers could be down for overload or maintenance reasons. The platform you're using, such as PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, or Battle.net could also be under maintenance.

Whatever the case may be, plain and simply put, Travis-Rilea in Black Ops 6 prevents you from connecting to the game's online services. You won't be able to play any of it, as this version of COD even requires you to be online for its campaign to run.

So, you're getting the Travis-Rilea error when you put up the COD hub and try to hop into Black Ops 6, eh? There are a few things you can try to fix it and get back to playing:

  • Double check that you are connected to the internet and restart your router/modem if necessary.
  • See if Black Ops 6 has an update on your platform, then update to the most recent patch.
  • Verify the integrity of your game files on Steam.
  • Restart your PC or console.
  • Uninstall and reinstall Black Ops 6 if the Travis-Rilea error persists.
  • Check Call of Duty Updates or your platform's social media channels to see if a scheduled maintenance is occurring.

If the majority of the above solutions don't work, then you are more than likely dealing with an error out of your control. The best thing you can do is keep your eyes on your platform or on social media to see when maintenance wraps up and others are beginning to play yet again.
