Disabling IPv6 for Better Network Stability

Why Disable IPv6?

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the modern replacement for IPv4, but many networks, games, and systems — including GameLoop and Call of Duty Mobile — still use IPv4 as the default.

Leaving IPv6 enabled unnecessarily can sometimes cause:

• DNS lookup delays

• Gateway conflicts

• Connection drops

• Longer handshake times in certain games

By turning it off, we simplify the network stack and reduce the chances of misrouting — helping with ping and connection stability in GameLoop.

🚫 Important Note:

Disabling IPv6 is safe for most users, especially if your ISP or router doesn’t use it. You can re-enable it at any time if needed.

🔧 How to Disable IPv6 on Windows

📍 Step 1: Open Network Adapter Settings

• Press Windows + R, type ncpa.cpl, and press Enter

• This opens the Network Connections window

📍 Step 2: Locate Your Active Connection

• Right-click on the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter

• Select Properties

📍 Step 3: Uncheck IPv6

• In the list, find Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)

• Uncheck the box

• Click OK to apply changes

✅ Done!

You’ve now disabled IPv6. Your system will use only IPv4 for networking — ensuring better compatibility with GameLoop, faster DNS resolution, and fewer connection interruptions.

Optional: Disable IPv6 in the Registry (Advanced)

If you want to fully disable IPv6 system-wide, including loopback and tunnels:

1. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter

2. Go to:

3. Right-click in the right pane > New → DWORD (32-bit) Value

4. Name it: DisabledComponents

5. Set its value to: FFFFFFFF (Hexadecimal)

6. Restart your PC

🧪 Tip:

To verify IPv6 is disabled, open Command Prompt and type:

You should see no active IPv6 addresses listed.
