Following a recent season update, Call of Duty players have reported significant matchmaking instability marked by frequent lag spikes and packet bursts. Despite stable home internet connections, many attribute these issues to poor ISP routing to game servers, which disrupts gameplay quality. Community members on r/CallOfDuty are actively discussing VPN setups that might offer more direct and stable connections without triggering the Ricochet anti-cheat system or causing further packet loss. This ongoing challenge affects player experience and highlights the need for better network paths to maintain smooth matchmaking.

  • Players seek VPN solutions that avoid Ricochet anti-cheat detection.
  • Issues persist despite stable local internet connections.
