Call of Duty: Vanguard servers: How to check if they’re working
It’s worth knowing where to check Vanguard’s server status to know whether the issue lies with the game or your own connection. The best place to do this is on theActivision Online Services Support website. Simply select ‘Call of Duty: Vanguard’—or any otherActivisiongame you want to check the status of—and click ‘Refresh’ beneath.
As well as telling you the server status across all platforms, the site offers a few generic tips to help you check your connection. If you find a green tick and the message ‘All platforms online’ but you’re still having problems connecting, you can report an outage using the ‘Let Us Know’ button at the bottom-left of the page.
