If Call of Duty: Vanguard is stuck on connecting to online services and you can’t connect to the game or its multiplayer modes, then you’ll want to know how to rectify this so you can jump back into its PvP component. So is there a way to fix this unfortunate error? Let’s take a look.
How to fix CoD: Vanguard stuck on connecting to online services
If Call of Duty: Vanguard is stuck on connecting to online services and you can’t connect to its multiplayer, there are three possible reasons why this is happening:
- The game’s servers are offline
- You haven’t installed a new update
- You aren’t connected to the internet
Each of these problems are relatively easily rectified. If the game’s servers are offline, then you won’t be able to play CoD: Vanguard until Activision and developer Sledgehammer resolves this issue. The game may have either been taken offline for scheduled maintenance, or it could be facing an unexpected outage. It’s worth keeping an eye on the official Call of Duty Twitter account to check if any updates are being pushed live.
If you haven’t installed an update, be sure to navigate to either the Battle.net menu on PC or your respective home menu on PS5/PS4 and Xbox Series X/Xbox One and check if an install needs to take place. Typically, all platforms will notify you that a game needs to be updated before you play, though you may need to manually push an update through if you’ve accidentally skipped over this warning message.
If it’s an issue with your internet, you’ll want to reset your router and try again. It’s likely that you’ll have noticed you’re experiencing internet issues before Vanguard wouldn’t connecting to its online services, but it’s always worth double-checking.
Typically, issues with CoD: Vanguard’s online services will simply be related to problems on Activision’s end, meaning that you’ll have to sit and wait for a solution to be pushed live.
