Typically, this issue occurs on your side if you have an inconsistent internet connection; however, sometimes, it also gets triggered on the server side if the servers become overloaded. In that case, there’s nothing you can do other than wait for the servers to stabilize.

This article will provide a few possible fixes that can potentially resolve the Battlefield RedSec packet loss issue.

How to possibly fix the Battlefield RedSec packet loss issue

Battlefield RedSec recently launched, and this has led to a huge influx of players, which may be causing massive server loads, one of the possible reasons for packet loss. In this case, you simply need to wait for some time and relaunch the game after a short while.

However, if the issue is on your end, here are a few solutions you can try to resolve it:

Restart your game

This is a simple yet effective solution, especially if you’re launching the game for the first time. Simply restarting can clear temporary glitches, which might help fix the packet loss issue.

Use an Ethernet connection

If you are on Wi-Fi, minor interruptions can lead to packet loss. It’s best to use an Ethernet cable for a more stable and reliable connection.

Restart your router

Sometimes, temporary glitches can prevent a stable link with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). These interruptions can cause packet loss during gameplay. Restarting your router helps clear these glitches and re-establish a stable connection.

Turn off VPN

If you’re using a VPN, it can cause poor routing between your network and the game’s servers, leading to packet loss. Turn off your VPN before launching the game.

Check network usage

Make sure other members connected to your Wi-Fi aren’t heavily using the internet for activities like streaming 4K videos or downloading large files. Heavy usage on a limited-speed network can result in packet loss or lag while playing.
