How to Reduce Packet Loss While Gaming Online

Gaming with buddies is still a go-to activity for many, and it doesn’t seem the legions of online gamers will thin out anytime soon.

While online gaming has come a long way since its debut, it still has its fair share of technical challenges. Unfortunately, most of them affect the end-users (gamers) and can turn a pleasant experience sour in seconds.

Connectivity problems are often to blame, with high latency, jitter and packet loss hindering a gamer’s ability to score perfect games (or so he might say).

Packet loss seems to be the most frustrating; it frequently has no apparent cause, can be a pain to troubleshoot, and has no guaranteed fix.

In addition, to reset your internet connection on a particular windows device, open command prompt (cmd) and run as administrator. Type the below commands one by one while pressing enter after each command.

ipconfig/flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled

netsh int tcp show global

This should reset your internet connection on that particular windows device.

If you've tried the above steps and are still experiencing persistent packet loss, reach out to your ISP for support. They may be able to investigate and address any network issues that could be causing the problem.
