No more lags<\/h2>

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/em> is a highly enjoyable game, isn’t it? However, it can be frustrating when you encounter errors like packet bursts and packet losses. These errors can lead to lags, high ping issues, and even connection errors that can ruin your gaming experience. While there are more than a few factors contributing to the problem, some simple solutions can fix the issue in no time.<\/p>

In this article, we will explore the underlying cause of the problem and discuss some possible workarounds to help you get back to enjoying the game without interruptions.<\/p>

To start with, it’s important to understand the underlying cause of the problem. Packet bursts and losses occur when there’s a disruption in the flow of data packets between your device and the game server. This can happen due to various factors including, network congestion, hardware issues, or problems with the game server<\/a> itself. Whatever the cause may be, the following general fixes can solve the issue.<\/p>

Check for updates & server status<\/h3>

It’s common for maintenance work or server outages to cause packet burst and loss errors. Therefore, it’s crucial to check the server status and confirm with customer support before trying any other solution. During such situations, waiting for developers to fix the issue is the only option. Attempting any other solution won’t work and will only waste time.<\/p>

It’s also important to check for any pending updates and ensure that the game is running on the latest version<\/a>. Developers often release updates that include bug fixes and performance enhancements that can help resolve packet burst and loss issues.<\/p>

Make sure your internet is stable<\/h3>

Ensuring that your network connection is stable is a possible solution to fix the error. This can be done by simply verifying your network settings or running a speed test. If your network connection is unstable, it is advisable to contact your internet service provider to resolve the issue. Additionally, restarting or resetting your router can often resolve internet connectivity problems. In case these steps do not work, switching to a wired connection may fix the problem.<\/p>

Turn off On-Demand Texture Streaming<\/h3>

Finally, it’s worth noting that the On-Demand Texture Streaming setting in the game could be contributing to the network problems. This setting downloads high-quality textures from the internet to your hard disk as you play the game, enhancing the color and detail of the game. This feature is often enabled by default and may be causing the packet loss issue. Disabling the setting could potentially resolve the issue.<\/p>

It’s important to note that there may be other solutions to the problem that are specific to your situation, depending on what is causing the error. However, the solutions mentioned above are the most common and have been proven to be effective in resolving the issue in the majority of cases.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":860,"featured_media":376701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[21983],"tags":[373,387,21382,232,21956],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":860,"display_name":"Devansh
