Fix Black Ops 6 Crash Error Code 0X1

Now, that you are aware of the causes behind the crashing issue with Black Ops 6, now let us proceed further to fix these issue so that you will be able to enjoy your game without any error.

Repair Game Files

In the basic troubleshooting guide, I firstly recommend repairing the game files so that if there is any corruption in the files, they will be replaced with the new one so that you will be able to launch the game.

For Xbox Game Pass

• Go to Windows settings by simultaneously pressing the “Windows key+I” key
• Click on the Apps from the left menu
• Go to Installed apps and scroll down to find Call of Duty
• Click on three dot icon and choose Advanced settings
• Scroll to the bottom and click on Repair

Wait for the process to finish and re-launch the game.

For battle.net

• Launch battle.net launcher and click on the Library option
• Select Call of Duty game and click on the gear icon
• Choose the option repair

wait for completion and relaunch the game

For Steam

• Launch Steam and click on the Library
• Right click on Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and select Properties
• Click on the Installed files from the left pane
• Now choose verify integrity of game files

Once done, relaunch the game and hopefully this will fix the Black Ops 6 not launching issue.

Uninstall Controller Re-Mapping Software

Many users, in order to change the button inputs, use various re-mapping softwares. It has been seen many times that these re-mapping softwares are one of the major cause for not launching the game.

So if you have installed any re-mapping software such as REWASD, make sure to completely uninstall this software from your system. Once uninstalled, relaunch the game and this will instantly fix Black Op6 crash error code 0X1.

Uninstall Third Party Antivirus

Another solution to fix Black Ops 6 open beta crashing issue is by uninstalling the third-party antivirus from your system.

Third-party antivirus such as Norton, RAV endpoint blocks the Black Ops 6 executable file thinking it as a virus and doesn’t let the launcher access the file which in return gives you error code 0X1.

I have personally figured out that uninstalling the RAV endpoint antivirus has fixed the crashing error code 0X1 with Black Ops 6.

So you must uninstall the third-party antivirus from your system and then re-launch the game to fix the issue.

Replace Game Files

If you are having Black Ops 6 error code 0X1 with Xbox Gamepass, you need to replace the game files using the battle.net launcher. To do so–

• Launch the battle.net launcher and install only the COD HQ game
• Now, click on the gear icon and choose the option show in explorer
• Copy _retail_ folder and paste the folder onto the Xbox game directory, which is available by default (C:\Xbox Games\Call of Duty)
• If It’s asking to replace the files, go ahead and proceed
• Once done, relaunch the Xbox select your game and click on three dots and click on Manage
• Select the files tab and click on verify and repair

Once done, relaunch the game to fix the not launching issue with Black Ops 6.

Using Windows Script

There is a randgrid.sys service is a kernel-level driver which is used by the Black Ops 6 anti-cheat system and when this service is not properly installed or not properly registered with the Windows system, it will though an error code.

So Here is the script and step-by-step guide, that will help you properly register this service so that you will be able to launch. The script is different for Windows 10 and Windows 11 so copy and paste the script in notepad file depending upon the type of Windows you have.

For Windows 11

echo Please enter the Xbox app installation folder for Call of Duty.
echo For example: C:\XboxGames\Call of Duty
set /p INSTALLDIR="Enter the folder location: "

sc query atvi-randgrid_msstore >nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% == 0 (
    echo Service atvi-randgrid_msstore was found, removing...
    sc delete atvi-randgrid_msstore
    if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
        echo Failed to remove the service. Please run this script as an administrator.
        exit /b
    )
) else (
    echo Service atvi-randgrid_msstore is not installed.
)

echo Randgrid installing
sc create atvi-randgrid_msstore type= kernel binPath= "%INSTALLDIR%\randgrid.sys"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
    echo Failed to create the service. Please check the folder path and run this script as an administrator.
    exit /b
)

echo Updating Randgrid permissions
sc sdset atvi-randgrid_msstore D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)

For Windows 10

@echo off

echo Please enter the Xbox app installation folder for Call of Duty.
echo For example: C:\XboxGames\Call of Duty
set /p INSTALLDIR="Enter the folder location: "

sc query atvi-randgrid_msstore >nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
    echo Service atvi-randgrid_msstore was found, 
removing...
    sc delete atvi-randgrid_msstore
    if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
        echo Failed to 
remove the service. Please run this script as an administrator.
        pause
        exit /b
    )
) else (
    echo Service atvi-randgrid_msstore is not installed.
)

echo Randgrid installing
sc create atvi-randgrid_msstore type= kernel binPath= "%INSTALLDIR%\randgrid.sys"
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
    echo Failed to create the service. Please check the folder path and run this script as an administrator.
    pause
    exit /b
)

echo Updating Randgrid permissions
sc sdset atvi-randgrid_msstore D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

echo Service installation and configuration completed successfully.
pause

• Copy and paste the script on a notepad file
• Click on the file menu and choose the option “save as”
• Give it a name as “FixBO6.bat“
• In the Save as type, from the drop-down list, choose the option “all files“
• Save it onto the desktop

Once the command run successfully, it will ask for the folder location, so you need to provide the directory of the Xbox game files which is C:\Xbox Games\Call of duty\Content (by default)

Paste the location and hit the enter key, and then the command prompt will close automatically.

That’s all you have to do. Now relaunch the game to fix Black Ops crash error code 0X1.
