If you’ve encountered the Call of Duty: Vanguard can’t find match error, we’re here to help. This pesky glitch interrupts matchmaking, so you can’t get into a game. In a title as geared around multiplayer battles as Vanguard, this is unsurprisingly a big annoyance. Fear not, as we break down how to fix the Call of Duty: Vanguard can’t find match error.
How to fix Call of Duty: Vanguard can’t find match error
While there isn’t one fixed way to get around the can’t find match error, here’s a clever way to solve it:
- On the Cod: Vanguard multiplayer menu, search for a Champion Hill match. This more tactical mode has separate matchmaking to the base multiplayer.
- You’ll find yourself in a game of Champion Hill. Rather than backing out, play the match in full.
- Once that game is over, head back to the main multiplayer menu, and search for a game.
- With this done, that should sort out the issue, and you’ll be able to find a match.
Of course, this isn’t a permanent fix, and will only solve the can’t find match error for your current play session. As such, you’ll likely need to rinse and repeat this method the next time you play, if the issue comes back. Equally, it means you have to play a Champion Hill match, which may not always be feasible if you’re short on free time.
In those scenarios, you’ll have to resort to classic fix methods. Firstly, you can close and reopen the game, in the hope that connecting back to the servers will resolve the error. Equally, it would be worth keeping an eye on the Vanguard server status via the Activision website. In some cases, you might see the error when there’s a larger server problem, which this site will identify.
