Call of Duty: Vanguard’s January 31 update has sought to fix some frustrating issues such as enemy nameplates not displaying, Xbox’s crashing and switching to mouse and keyboard input, and campaign issues.

We’re only two weeks out from Vanguard’s Season 2 update, which the devs delayed in order to work on more bug fixes. Still, they’re working on squashing some small but frustrating issues in the meantime.

Here’s every change made in Vanguard’s January 31 update, including Xbox stability, nameplates not displaying properly, and controller fixes.

This update was mainly to target some frustrating issues on Xbox consoles, where Vanguard would crash when loading into a match and the game switched to mouse and keyboard after a controller was disconnected.

The latter issue would be particularly frustrating, as you can’t change your input once in a game, so you wouldn’t be able to move and would have to back out of the game to fix it. But, you shouldn’t have this problem following the January 31 update.
