Many Black Ops 6 players are encountering a frustrating "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error, preventing them from connecting with friends. This error indicates a version mismatch; your game isn't fully updated.
The first troubleshooting step 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, restarting the game is the next logical step. This forces a fresh update check, though it requires a short wait to rejoin the game.

If these steps fail, a workaround exists. Attempting to search for a match while the error is displayed sometimes allows friends to join your party. This might require a few attempts, but it's a viable solution when other methods prove ineffective.
This covers the common solutions for 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 available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
