Packet burst in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2

Ways to fix packet burst in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2

The methods listed below will assist players in overcoming packet bursts.

1) Turn off On-Demand Texture Streaming

On-Demand Texture Streaming is a function that enhances a game's visual quality by downloading high-quality textures in the background while it is being played. Since textures are downloaded between matches, it may cause packet bursts, and turning it off is the simplest method to avoid the problem.

To disable it, go to the game's Graphics settings and change the On-Demand Texture Streaming to Off under Details & Textures.

2) Check Call of Duty server issues

The creators occasionally take the servers offline for server maintenance with little notice, causing players to experience many out-of-control packet bursts. If this occurs, individuals should check to see if the servers are up and running by visiting the Activision Online Services website or the URL: https://support.activision.com/onlineservices.

The following webpage will reveal whether the title's server is online or not; if it is not, take a break and try again later.

3) Check internet connection

Players who connect to the game through WiFi are more likely to encounter the issue since such connections are more prone to electrical interference. An Ethernet cable, on the other hand, offers a direct, dedicated connection between the device and the router, which helps to limit packet bursts.

Players are advised to connect an ethernet cable rather than play Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 using a WiFi connection.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded update will arrive in a few hours on PC (via Battle.net and Steam), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
