Packet Burst is a frustrating issue that many Call of Duty Black Ops 6 players face. It’s different from Packet Loss, which occurs when data sent from your computer to the game servers gets lost in transit. Packet Burst is more severe, causing your game to receive too much information at once or not enough for a while. This leads to characters moving too quickly or skipping scenes, making gameplay challenging and even unplayable.
To fix Packet Burst in Black Ops 6, try these steps:
- Restart Shader Preloading in the Graphics Settings > Display menu.
- Perform a hard reset on your PC to clear the memory cache.
- Switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection to eliminate potential router or port issues.
- Disable On-Demand Texture Streaming in the in-game Graphics Settings.
- Ensure your in-game FPS matches the settings in the NVIDIA control panel.
If these solutions don’t work, the problem may lie with the game servers or your internet service provider (ISP). Contact your ISP and explain the issue to see if they can help. You can also try switching ISPs to troubleshoot further.
For Ethernet users, there’s a technical solution that involves disabling specific settings in your network adapter properties:
- Energy Efficient Ethernet
- Gigabit Lite
- Green Ethernet
- Interrupt Moderation
- Jumbo Frame
- Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)
- Power Saving Mode
Disabling these settings may help resolve Packet Burst, micro-stutters, lag, and other issues.
Remember, Packet Burst is a complex problem with many potential causes. If none of these solutions work and numerous players are experiencing the same issue, it’s likely a problem with the game itself. In that case, contacting Activision for further assistance may be necessary.
Don’t let Packet Burst ruin your Black Ops 6 experience. By following these steps and staying proactive, you can get back to enjoying smooth, uninterrupted gameplay.
