CoD Vanguard’s Zombies hasn’t had the smoothest launch, with many players unhappy with the state of mode since it dropped. Now, after the mid-season update, the graphics are completely broken, leaving the mode “unplayable.”

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing for Vanguard Zombies. Ever since its launch, CoD players have criticized the lack of features and sup-par updates.

Even the addition of the classic Shi No Numa map wasn’t enough to salvage the mode’s reputation, with many fans calling it a “slap in the face.” However, it’s the bugs and glitches that seem to have caused the most frustration among the community.

Following the most recent update, the graphics in the mode are totally broken, making it incredibly difficult to even play.

Even the release of Shi No Numa wasn’t enough to change Vanguard Zombies’ fortunes.

The issue was highlighted in a post from Reddit user SecretlyHiddenSelf, which showed just how busted the visuals are currently. Even when the player was simply looking around, without any undead around, the mode was a graphical mess.

When the player looked up, their screen became overrun with crazy polygons where the sky should be. It continued when they look towards one of the many buildings, the structure was immediately consumed by the strange shapes.

Other players responded mentioning that they had also experienced graphical issues. “Something similar happened to me the other day on Xbox, couldn’t see the floor or anything just the buildings,” said one reply.

Now Zombies is unplayable with insane graphical glitches.
