Ea FC 24 When Playing Online there is huge delay when i press the controller

Ok here you go:

What platform are you playing on? Also, how bad is the lag? Your test looks pretty good. Not perfect, but not bad. Do your players just feel heavy or is there noticeable lag?

It is not a connection or internet problem 80% of the PC players have the same problem and you think every single one got a problem with connection and packet loss?

Gameplay is smooth and squad battles and other offline gamemodes are instant, no delay. But as soon as i play online(Draft, div rivals, co-op, etc) it's smooth for the first five minutes then suddenly the rest of the game there's a 1-3 second delay whenever i move/press a button.

Exacly.

Also, just a heads up, I'm heading out for the weekend in about 20 minutes and won't be able to pick this up again until Monday. You're all welcome to contact an advisor by following the instructions here to get some help with this.

Also, again, here are links to articles for connection troubleshooting -

Ok but befoure you head out, can you just please spread the word to anyone working on the game in EA!

Exactly. EA just dont seem to be able to make a problem-free game for once! Last year it was absoulute mayham to even start the game with the whole anti-cheat system and now This! I really hope they fix it SOON.

So, I have now managed to "fix" the problem for me twice but I'm still not sure how exactly :D. So I will just put all I did in here and maybe it can help someone else reach a fully working solution.

I had the same problem as others - all smooth in offline modes but in online modes there is a noticeable (0,5s) delay in all actions. And it feels different from regular ping related delay. Ping related delay often slows down gameplay and then speeds it to "catch up". But the delay I have encountered is just a smooth delay that, as others have said, seems to slowly worsen the longer you play. So while it might seem manageble at minute 10, it will be unbearable by minute 40.

I troubleshot my internet for several hours but all seemed fine (ping 8-10ms) and performance was smooth in other games. So, after trying out all logical things, I went to the illogical ones.

For some reason EA FC24 says my monitor is 60Hz with no possibility to change it (it actually is 144Hz and recognized by all other games as such, including previous FIFAs). But frame rate was set at 120FPS by default. So I changed it to 60FPS and voila! Performance was smooth and it was night and day difference compared to how it was. You could feel from the start of the game that it's a completely new experience. Played a second game and exactly the same thing - everything perfect. I then went and changed the FPS back to 120 and input delay came back in online mode. It's not even just input delay but some weird overall stuttering that's difficult to explain.

I was now sure I had found the root cause (screen Hz and FPS didn't match) but when I changed the FPS back to 60 the delay was still there. I restarted my computer but nothing - still delay. I then tried to disable the Playstyle icons as suggested in an earlier post but still nothing.

But then I went and changed the game mode to Windowed borderless and FPS to unlimited and delay was gone again. I have now played 3 games in a row like this and all works amazingly.

Is it possible all the changes I have done have nothing to do with the performance and it has just been server related luck? Possibly. But the "type" of the delay and level of coincidence tells me that it's more probably related to some video settings.

As I have now spent app 5h troubleshooting the game I don't want to test anymore. I'm selfish and want to play the game (because if you get rid of the delay, it's fricking brilliant). So I put this info out here for others. Maybe others can do some similar tests and someone will figure it out fully.


TL;DR - mess around with your video settings

Currently downloading the game AGAIN, but i will for sure try it! Thank's in advance haha. I also tought it was weird that Hz and fps was two seperate options, EA clearly didn't demo test the game enough!

@lgsnelhThis helped me, no more input delay 🙂 Thank you so much!

Yay 🙂

are you insaine how can he get a better connection? beeing next to the server ?

@lgsnelh unfortunately didnt help, thanks for the suggestion though

Thank you, helped 🙂

@EA_Aljo  Please find below my connection score as you mentioned in the first reply, i have tried all the above suggestions that you and fellow players suggested but none of them work. I am as all the other players here on PC. 

thank you, but this doesn'thelped me ☹️
You just put borderless window and unilmited fps to solve, right?

Yep - last things I changed were to borderless window and unlimited FPS. But I also feel it's not that simple. It may be connected to some other video settings (maybe in game, maybe in NVIDIA control panel) and I have tinkered with almost all possible settings by now that I don't remember what I have changed before.

As it has helped for a few others I feel it's at least probable that it's not an issue with network but more with some video settings. But what exactly, I don't know ☹️

You absolute f*** legend mate! it worked!!!

i can confirm that windows borderless and unlimited fps fix the problem for me.. thats the only thing i changed and delay dissapears.. thanks you mate

Uncapping FPS and window borderless worked like a charm. Thank you so much! Guys remember that you have to apply those settings. Firsly i forgot and was mad that it didn't work :D
