Call of Duty: Fps Solution (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Its works.
How to fix it
Run Notepad with administrator rights
- Search for Notepad, right‑click it, and choose Run as administrator.
Open the hosts file
- In Notepad choose File → Open.
- Navigate to
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\. - Change the file type filter to All Files so the
hostsfile becomes visible. - Select
hostsand open it.
Add a blocking entry
- Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 cod‑assets.cdn.callofduty.com - Save the file (Ctrl + S).
- Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the following line:
Flush the DNS cache
- Open a Command Prompt (run as administrator).
- Type
ipconfig /flushdnsand press Enter.
Restart the game
- Close Call of Duty completely and launch it again.
- The FPS drop‑outs caused by texture streaming should be gone, resulting in smoother gameplay.
If it still doesn't work
- Verify that the hosts file was saved correctly and that the new line is present exactly as shown.
- Make sure you edited the file with administrator privileges; otherwise the changes won’t be applied.
- Re‑run the DNS flush command to ensure the old entry isn’t cached.
- Restart your computer before launching the game again, in case any system services need to reload the hosts file.
What players reported
I found a FPS solution on Reddit. fps drawdowns have gone away and the game has become smoother. you can try this: Here's what I did: Open Notepad as administrator. Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (change file type to All Files). Add this line at the bottom: 127.0.0.1 cod-assets.cdn.callofduty.com Save it. Open CMD and run ipconfig /flushdns. Restart the game. if it helped you, please…
What players suggest
Howlysh! Its works. What does it do? How did you know this?
disables texture streaming, which means that texture streaming takes up processor time so much that it doesn't have enough time to process the gameplay. The game will still download something during gameplay, but now it's not permanent.
