Game crash mid-Deathmatch
Out of nowhere, while playing Deathmatch, the game suddenly crashed and i got hit with an error. I did not stick around long enough to remember the error, though. I have:
13th Gen Intel(R) Core i5-13400F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX-3060, 16GB Memory, and are connected via Ethernet.What's the issue?

Solution
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab

- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:

- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it

After you’re done with that:

- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
