2. Make Sure Your NAT Type is Open

For PC:

• If you are playing the game on PC, you first need to click on the Windows start menu option and search for the Xbox console companion app.

(Note– If it is not present there, you will need to install the Xbox Console companion app by going to the Microsoft store)

• Now, click on the settings menu option of your Xbox console companion app that will appear on your screen as a gear icon.
• Next, click on the network tab

3. Check COD Vanguard Server Status

You’ll need to ensure that it is not a problem on the developer’s end. To ensure that, you will need to cross-check and know whether the server is facing any downtime. If the problem completely lies on the developers side, there is nothing much you can do on your end. All you can do is wait for a few hours and then try to connect to the server once more and check whether the issue is resolved or not. You can follow the official Twitter handle of the game and other gaming forums to get updates about server connectivity issues.
