Unfortunately, this means that, despite the fact that the game is technically broken, some users are still having trouble connecting.
If the game runs normally but a player cannot connect, the best thing to do is wait a few minutes and try again. If the game continues to crash, players should download the patch that restores the game’s previous state before installing the Secrets of the Pacific update.
Today’s Call of Duty: Vanguard updates should have arrived in everyone’s inbox. Those who have only received one should use their platform’s check for updates function to get the second patch.
If problems persist, players should try the standard set of fixes:
- Try restarting the console or PC.
- Restart routers and modems.
- Verify the integrity of files.
- Reinstall the game.
If none of the above fixes work, the problem is almost certainly not on the player’s end. The best thing to do in this situation, as with many others we’ve seen with Call of Duty games, is to wait and try again later.
