Whereas some affected players are also expecting that developers will come up with a patch fix soon because the beta version may cause such connectivity issues with the newly added servers. So, we’ll have to wait.
4. Turn off On-Demand Texture Streaming
Make sure to disable the on-demand texture streaming feature from the COD Vanguard’s graphics settings. It’s a graphics feature that basically improves the color quality of Vanguard and provides more vivid visuals. If you turn it off, it may not download additional textures during gameplay but puts pressure on the bandwidth.
So, constantly downloading new textures while playing COD Vanguard can cause packet burst errors to players a lot. You can turn it off by going to in-game Settings > Head over to the Graphics section > Turn off On-Demand Texture Streaming.
5. Check COD: Vanguard Server Status
It’s also highly recommended to check for the Vanguard Server Status by visiting the Activision Online Services page. You’ll be able to find out all the service status here in real-time. If there is an issue with the server like outage or downtime then make sure to wait for a couple of hours and then check again. Until the server issue has been fixed, you may experience the packet burst issue with Call of Duty Vanguard.
Whereas if you’re seeing that the server connectivity issue is going well then make sure to follow other methods below to try fixing it out.
6. Reset your Router
Try resetting your Wi-Fi router to completely refresh the networking glitch or any kind of networking cache data that will gonna help you out. Make sure to press and hold the reset button or pin-hole button on the router for around 15 seconds until the LED indicators stop blinking & slow down the blinking. It means now your router is fully reset. Head over to the router’s admin page > Log into the account and setup configuration again then check again.
7. Change your DNS Address
