Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 + Windows 10 Packet Loss and Stutter
I'm a fan of CoD.
So I bought a good micro SD card, installed Windows 10 to Go via Rufus and then Battle.net.

Unfortunately MW2 doesn't work on SteamOS (Thank You Ricochet)

In MW2 I now have 80 frames and I could play it perfectly if I didn't have constant packet loss. This gets worse with longer playing time.
In the end even Windwos starts to stutter. What can I do? I play on the lowest settings, have the AMD Adrenaline software installed, the UMA buffer set to 4GB and still... the packet loss occurs regularly.

Texture streaming is also off. But nothing helps. And it's not the WiFi, I can play CoD perfectly via my laptop on the same WiFi without any problems.

What can I do now?

Are you talking about the way the connection drops for like 5-10 seconds every few minutes? If so, it turns out the wifi drivers Valve included are kind of bad. I downloaded another set of drivers and the problem went away, I think it was this https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds550288-realtek-8822ce-wlan-driver-for-windows-10-64-bit-version-2009-ideacentre-aio-3-22itl6-aio-3-24itl6-aio-3-27itl6

I gave it a shot. First game was better, only two times packet loss. Second game just like before ...

This is indeed a problem. For some reason this issue is more problematic in MW2 than in other cod games.

There is nothing I can do? Just not playing CoD on the Deck?

I would keep trying other updated WiFi drivers, or maybe even ask Windows to look for drivers itself. All I know is I've never had this issue after updating the drivers, my deck is using version 8822ce

Thank you, I will try it.
I thought to myself that maybe I should install Windows 10 on an external SSD and then play CoD via the SSD. I have no idea if that will do anything.
