How to Fix Rainbow Six Extraction ‘Server Connection Error Juliett’

A lot of reports were made by Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction players who are dealing with the ‘server connection error Juliett‘. This error is not letting them play the game properly, making a big number of users upset (and for good reason). In some cases the players can’t join any matches, not being allowed to connect to the servers. Some of them were kicked out of the server while playing a solo game. This error is typically encountered on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, as well as PC.

Here’s how you can fix the Rainbow Six Extraction Server Connection Error Juliett

We have decided to take a deeper look into this Rainbow Six Extraction error to see what are the causes responsible for its appearance. Here is the shortlist of all the possible triggers:

  • Ongoing server maintenance – The first thing that needs to be checked is the current status of the Rainbow Six Extraction server. This error could be happening because there is scheduled maintenance for the server or because the server is going through some problems and it’s down. In this case, the only thing that you can do is to check the current server status on their official site or to visit their Twitter page for more information.
  • Unlinked Ubisoft account to Game Pass – Another cause for this error might be your Ubisoft account being unlinked to your Xbox Game Pass. This is happening because the game cannot connect to the server if the connection between your Ubisoft account and Game Pass is not made. All you have to do is go to the official Ubisoft site and make sure to sign in with your Microfost account.
  • Outdated game – This issue might also happen because your game is missing the latest available updates. If that is the case, this is happening because you have missed the installation of the updates or you didn’t have enough free storage to install them. The game can’t work properly and connect to the server if the latest update is available. So all you have to do is to check for pending updates and install them in case you find any.
  • Profile status set to Invisible – The Rainbow Six Extraction server connection error Juliett could also happen because the profile status is set to Invisible instead of Online. This makes the game incapable to connect to the server, so this is what might cause the issue. If this is the case for you, all you have to do in order to fix this issue is to open the Ubisoft Launcher and go to your profile. There you will be able to change the profile status from Invisible to Online.

Now after you are aware of all the potential causes of the server connection error Juliette, here is a list of all the methods that players have used to fix it:

1. Check for the current server status

The first thing you should do before you try to fix this error is to check the current server status. This way you will see if this issue is caused by the server being under maintenance. The server might be going through some problems, so checking if they are down is worth checking.
