For PC Users:

Meanwhile, some PC players experience crashes at the launch of the game or even during the gameplay that include 0x00001337, 0xc0000005, and 0x00001338 error codes. Luckily, here we’ve shared a couple of possible workarounds that should help you out.

1. Update Graphics Driver

The first thing you should try checking the graphics driver update on your Windows computer whether the driver is outdated or not. If there is a new update available, make sure to install the update. To do so:

  • Press Windows + X keys to open the Quick Start Menu.

  • Now, click on Device Manager from the list > Double-click on Display adapters.

  • Right-click on the dedicated graphics card that you’re using.

  • Click on Update driver > Select Search automatically for drivers.

  • If there is an update available, it’ll automatically download & install the latest version.

  • Once done, make sure to manually reboot the system to change effects immediately.

2. Check System Requirements

At least you should check out whether your PC configuration is meeting the minimum system requirements of the Vanguard game or not.

Minimum Requirements:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • Dedicated Video RAM: 2048 MB
  • CPU: AMD FX-8300 or Intel Core i3-6300
  • Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7950 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Ti
  • Pixel Shader: 5.0
  • Vertex Shader: 5.0

If your PC hardware is compatible with the game then you can move to the next workaround. If not then you’ll need to upgrade the hardware accordingly to avoid such issues.

3. Close Unnecessary Background Running Tasks

Sometimes unnecessary background running tasks can also cause several issues with the game launching or gameplay. If you’re facing the same problem or the game starts lagging then make sure to follow the steps below:

4. Reboot Your Console

Try rebooting the console properly to refresh the system and clear out any kind of possible glitch.

  • Alternatively, you can press the PS button on your controller to bring up the quick menu > Then select “Restart” and wait for the console to boot into the system again.

Xbox:

  • Alternatively, you can press the PS button on your controller to bring up the quick menu > Then select “Restart” and wait for the console to boot into the system again.

It’s also worth mentioning to clear the cache on PS4/PS5 or Xbox console to fix the issue completely.

For PS4/PS5:

  • Fully power down your PlayStation 5. [Do not enter Rest Mode]

  • Wait for the lights on your PlayStation 4/5 to turn off completely.

  • Finally, turn on your PlayStation 4/5.

  • Make sure to turn off your Xbox Series X|S using the controller. [You can also directly Power Off the console using the power button]

  • Now, unplug the power cable from the back of your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One.

  • Wait for at least two minutes or so and then plug the power cable back into your console.

  • Finally, turn on your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One.

7. Clear Game Data

It seems that deleting the installed game saved data on the console can also fix several issues with the game launching or gameplay. You should try performing this method to check for the issue.

  • First of all, quit the Call of Duty Vanguard game completely > Select My games & apps.

  • Select See all > Make sure to highlight the Call of Duty Vanguard game.

  • Select the Call of Duty Vanguard game > Checkmark the files that you want to delete or just Select All.

  • Finally, select Delete > Select OK to confirm the task.

  • Once done, reboot your console to check for the issue again.

8. Test your Internet Connection

If nothing seems working for you then try testing out your internet connection on the PC or console to check if there is an issue with the network speed or stability. If there is an issue then make sure to fix it out first. It’s also worth recommending switching between the Wi-Fi and Wired connection or vice versa to ensure there is an issue with the internet connectivity. Otherwise, contact your ISP for further technical assistance on it.
