[Updated] COD: Vanguard freezing, crashing, or disconnecting from server during Kill confirmed matches, issue gets acknowledged

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on February 24, 2022) follows:

Call of Duty recently released Vanguard, a game that lets players witness the birth of special forces during the end of the Second World War.

With gameplay mechanics similar to that of Modern Warfare, Vanguard does introduce new features such as the ability to blind fire from cover and destructible environment.

However, since launch, players have faced several bugs and issues with some making the game completely unplayable. That being said, Vanguard players now say (1,2,3,4,5) that the game is freezing, disconnecting, or crashing from the server during Kill confirmed matches.

Many say that the issue surfaced after the recent Season 2 update. This is causing a lot of players to get angry or frustrated since they are unable to complete the round.

Below are some reports from Vanguard players experiencing crashing, freezing and disconnecting issues when playing Kill confirmed matches.

Lately, I’ve been dealing with back-to-back host/server disconnects. It happens when I’m playing a normal vanguard match and then all of sudden, everything freezes. In this picture, I was playing Kill Confirmed – the tags stopped spinning, teammates & enemies frozen, their face textures all distorted, etc. Is this an issue on my end with my graphics card, corrupt files, etc., or an issue on vanguard’s end? If anyone else has dealt with the same issue and has even perhaps fixed it, please let me know.

Kill confirmed maps freezing and crashing
Multiple maps freeze and crash every game on kill confirmed. Berlin, Gravutu, Desert Siege, and Decoy all literally freeze every time. Other maps freeze and crash occasionally as well. I haven’t saw this mentioned on the trello board or by SHG. If any devs check this sub Reddit please look in to this.
