Packet Burst is a networking issue that you will come across in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, especially when you’re playing online modes like Multiplayer or the Zombies mode.
This issue happened with everyone during the closed Beta, and has seemingly made its way to the full launch as well.
So, if you’re encountering continuous Packet Burst, here’s how you can solve it for smoother matches in Call of Duty Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Packet Burst error fix
Two of the easiest ways to fix the Packet Burst error in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 are as follows:
- Change On-Demand texture download setting to minimal: This setting allows the game to download texture files while you’re playing the game, to make the environment look good. If you’ve set this to minimal, it’ll only download the necessary files, reducing the amount of files you need to download and improving your connectivity.
- Restart Shaders Pre-loading: This setting is available only on PC, and pre-loading shaders before a match can cause the Packet Burst error too. So, head over to Settings and hit the “Restart Shaders Pre-loading” menu from this window. This should also stabilise your network connectivity.
While these two steps can directly address the Packet Burst error in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, there are a few other general networking steps that you can use to try and solve this issue at hand. These steps are as follows:
- Restart your network devices including routers and modems.
- If you’re using a wireless connection, switch to a wired network (LAN Connection).
- Check your internet connection for any disruptions.
- Check Activision’s social media channels for any ongoing server disruptions.
- Update your network driver.
These above methods should help you fix the Packet Burst error in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. In case, the issues persist, you should try reinstalling the game, and that should definitely solve the problem for you.
