While players are fully immersed in Modern Warfare 3, a packet loss issue has started to appear. But fear not, there are various steps you can take to address and potentially eliminate this issue in MW3.

Packet loss is a form of server error that can cause visual and gameplay issues such as lag and stuttering. Symptoms of packet loss may be obvious to the player, but a key indicator can often be seen on screen.

Three superimposed squares on the left side of the screen indicate that you are experiencing packet loss. The squares may also be accompanied by actual text saying “packet loss” to confirm the problem.
