While players look ahead to the update, several members of the community are wondering how to get past the Vivacious error that's also preventing them from accessing Warzone.
With that said, there are some workarounds that can be performed to fix the problem. In this guide, find out how to fix the Vanguard vivacious error for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
How To Fix Vanguard Vivacious Error
According to players encountering the error, it occurs when they're unable to connect to Vanguard's servers and while they're downloading the game or an update. The error prevents anyone from accessing the main menu, giving you an option to try again or quit the game entirely.
Restart PC or Console
As with any error code, the first logical step to take is to reboot your PC or console. Performing a power cycle on a PlayStation or Xbox is known to fix the vivacious error altogether and it's incredibly straightforward.
- Hold the power button down until the console switches off.
- Remove the power cable from the back of the console.
- Wait 20 seconds and re-connect the cable.
- Turn the console back on.
Check Vanguard Server Status
As mentioned earlier, the vivacious error stops you from connecting to any Call of Duty online service. On some occasions, Vanguard's servers have issues so check out our guide on the current Vanguard server status to make sure the problem isn't on your end.
Test Internet Connection

PlayStation
- Select 'Settings.'
- Choose 'Network.'
- Select 'Test Internet Connection' and wait for it to finish.
Xbox
- Press the Xbox button to open the Xbox guide.
- Select 'Profile & System' > 'Settings' > 'General' > 'Network' > 'Network Settings.'
- Select 'Test Network Connection' and wait.
If the tests come back fine, you know that it's not your internet causing the error to appear.
Scan and Repair Vanguard PC Files
There are several instances of players having to scan and repair Vanguard due to corrupt files and this is a possible cause for the vivacious error. Here's how to scan and repair the game files:
- Open the Battle.net launcher.
