Similar to other online multiplayer games, XDefiant is filled to the brim with dreaded error codes and one of them is Mike-01. It prevents you from entering the multiplayer session, so here’s a look at all the possible fixes to get rid of the Mike-01 error in XDefiant.
XDefiant Mike-01 error code fix
The MIKE-01 error code usually appears when your system cannot establish a reliable connection with the Ubisoft servers. It is usually caused by the servers being overcrowded or offline due to maintenance. So make sure you check the XDefiant server status before performing any troubleshooting. If the servers are fully operational, then I suggest following these methods to fix the MIKE-01 error code:
Restart your WiFi router
Restarting your internet connection is one of the most effective ways to resolve the MIKE-01 issue in XDefiant. Instead of disabling your connection through the Network and Sharing Center, I recommend restarting your WiFi router, which establishes a fresh connection with the game servers, sometimes with a new WAN IP address.
Apart from this, you can also check your internet connection speed using various internet speed testers. If you are getting a slower internet speed than your actual plan, be sure to contact your ISP and raise a support ticket.
Disable VPN services
VPNs also known as Virtual Private Networks are well-known services for those who are more careful about their online privacy. If you are among them and have turned on your VPN software, I recommend turning it off; otherwise, you will continue to encounter the MIKE-01 error code.
Check for pending updates
Since Xdefiant has just been released across all platforms, the developers are constantly releasing new updates and fixes to patch unexpected bugs and errors. So, the next thing you can do is download any pending updates through the Ubisoft client and see if the error is fixed.
Contact Ubisoft support
If none of the above methods work, contacting the Ubisoft support team is your last hope to redo everything. To raise a ticket, simply go to the XDefiant support page and log in to your Ubisoft account. Next, explain your problem in detail and attach all relevant screenshots in the form. The support team may take a few hours to respond, so be sure to check back every couple of hours to resolve the Mike-01 error code quickly.
