The XDefiant "VICTOR-1" error could stem from the server load as it had a record number of 5,00,000 players that got on the game after it went live on May 21, 2024. The load on the server might have caused an error that stopped the players from entering the game.

The Ubisoft Connect client could also be the reason for this server as the game client is reported to be laggy. With that said, an issue on the client side might have caused the players to receive the update game prompt.

The game version discrepancy might be the root cause of the XDefiant "VICTOR-1" error. Occasionally, server problems can cause patch updates to reach the client at varying times in different regions which might cause a version difference in the game potentially leading to an error.
