The CoD Vanguard campaign does not start for many people. We have a possible solution for you, which has helped numerous users.
If you are currently having problems starting the Call of Duty Vanguard campaign, you are not alone. At the moment, search queries are piling up as to why the solo content is locked. We have collected several possible solutions for you.
Classical solutions
Check your internet connection and Battle.net: Of course, you should try the usual solutions first. If you have already done so, then you can simply skip these points:
- First of all, make sure that you have installed the campaign package on Battle.net. To do this, go to Vanguard, select “Modify installation” in the options and check whether the checkmark next to the campaign is set. If not, you will need to check it manually and then download the rest.
- Check your internet connection, best disconnect once and reconnect.
- Don’t forget to check Battle.net, update if necessary, otherwise restart completely once.
- A PC restart could also help under certain circumstances.

- Didn’t work? Then try this workaround from Reddit user (MBKGFX). Select “Modify installation” in the Vanguard options and install a different language pack. After the download, you can ideally start the campaign via the button (and change the language again). According to the (Blizzard forum), this has helped many users.
Why is the Vanguard campaign blocked? There is no official statement yet as to where the problems are coming from. If the developers make a statement, we will of course let you know directly.
Beware, even if Battle.net shows you that you can play Vanguard before the installation is complete, experience shows that this almost never works without serious problems. In this case, be patient and try again as soon as everything is installed.
