Massive Delay in online play
I play on PC. This year so far it seems like I am getting a good 1-2 second delay between inputting a command and players responding anytime I play online. Opponents do not seem to have the same prob...
Forum Discussion
@RadioShaqssure, 72 hours. Are you saying smthg like that on purpose people to lost their patinece and insult you in any way sp moderatos could have a reason for ban? Is it your mission here?
Here is video of input delay in rush. In other online modes it`s bigger. I have doubts anyone from ea officials answer me why I had 96-98 score (which means no packet loss) in ea connection quality report in fc 24 in september, and now with all same conditions on my side including same 23-30 ping I have only 80-81 score with 0.7 - 0.8 % of packet loss. I have two new controllers inculding xbox series x wired. My pc is good for any AAA game, 100mbit wired internet, I have no any connection related problems in any other dynamic online game. But in this game (also in fc 24 even in late september while having 98 score) I have damn input delay which just do not let me have comfort gaming expirience turning it into stress mess full of anger and disappointment. One of basic features of this game is player`s, any player`s ability to sprint, even really slow player`s. In game, in "customise controls/controller settings" it says - RT button - "sprint". Then whywhen I press acceleration button most of the times my players don`t actually accelerate, they start doing it 1 or even 2 seconds later, at times even like 3 secinds later! They start running faster (but not all and not always) but they don`t run for 100% of their abilities! Just in case I have to mention - of course I have analog sprint off. It`s literally impossible to play like that! It`s unfair, outrageous and absolutely unacceptable. I even don`t wanna start talking here about pro clubs experience... mode that I used to play for many years. And many other situations where input delay literally doesn`t allow you to play this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXTtxZVr4og
its ridiculous, my gameplay looks the same, I am a very decent player, very reliable on dribbling, yet these conditions make me feel like im so *. I used to get 17-19 wins last fifa on PS5, I sold my console and moved to PC. It's unbelievable for me that they could release a game in such state. I played fut champs last weekend and got 12-3 but my god was it so hard due to the gameplay.. I don't really think they will ever patch this unresponsiveness, this game has such a * code that it will not be possible. * optimisation, my gameplay in other games is perfect, yet here in EAFC which is not as demanding as e.g. Cyberpunk it's unplayable. Adding that my transfer market on webapp and companion isnt still unlocked makes me really think about a refund. This is tragedy.
holy f..k, my gameplay looks the same, I cant believe that they released a game worth 100€+ in such state. The code that this game is written in is in such a * state I don't believe that will be possible to repair. What's more I don't even think that EA wants to focus on responsiveness as they only want content in the store (FP packs). Adding that my transfer market in webapp/companion isn't unlocked after spending 100hrs in game and playing for 3 weeks daily makes me really think about a refund. This is madness.
Remember guys. It’s your console and connection even though it doesn’t happen on other games or EA titles haha
To be fair, i think a lot of it is to do with graphics and certain settings. I have suffered with issues going back to probably fifa 12, over xbox, playstation and pc. Generally it was sluggish players with no acceleration, no ai on my players etc, for every online match. Ive hardly played since fifa 22 because of it. However i have been looking at all sorts of things that i could do in the hope of finding a solution. Lately i have been looking at refresh rates and frame rates and this has had a massive impact on how the game plays (either good or bad). Ive finally got the gameplay to a place where its much more equal in how my players move. Yes the game can be sluggish but its more for both players. Luckily i can now get 240 in terms of frame rates through my pc. I doubt this can help others on ps or xbox but it is possible to improve the gameplay. Granted i shouldn’t have had to gone to the lengths i did to get decent gameplay, but i wouldn’t always assume its on EA’s end.
I have a question about Rush and the controller overlay the overlay reacts on time but when my player ran back to defend he kept running until I ran off the pitch happened a few times in the match.
I pressed buttons like slide tackles etc which registered on both overlay controllers automatically but my player just kept running.
So that tells me the overlay doesn't work with EA server delay.
- @NornIron11 I’ve not tried it on rush. Does rush have the online input overlay for that mode? Did you post a video of it already if so I missed it?
i can only play smoothly for the first minute in every online mode, after that every command has a delay of one second. The game is unplayable like this and this has been going on for a few days. Before that I could play for weeks without any problems. I have already reset the settings, reinstalled the game. no changes after 6-7 ingame minutes the game always starts lagging and has a 1 second delay. Internet connection and everything else is perfect.
How have they not fixed this * problem yet. Its almost a month ago this problem started snd how have they still not * fixed this *. Im definetly not buying this * game next year. We literslly got robbed on 100 dollars.
@RadioShaqs why are you asking for videos? You say you don't watch them. Also it is not only on rush but it happens even in other game modes as well
- @pawanwazza I watch them I don’t comment because you always complain if I give my opinion. Ea is the one who asked for them. So posting them will show ea everyone has delay. Although this thread has shown not everyone has delay and doesn’t look like a server issue. Here is a response from ea saying it’s not a server problem below. Let’s say you don’t believe them take this thread as evidence not everyone has delay and the server works fine for most players.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/EA-fix-your-garbage-servers/m-p/14178012#M13008 @RadioShaqs Listen carefully. I recently made multiple tests for packet loss, incuding test from my location (Eastern Europe) to NA host with average ping (latency) of 130 ms. Result was: Upload packet loss - 0.0%, download packet loss - 0.0%, late packet loss - 0.0%, and total paclet loss - 0.0% respectively. Today I played rush and like all previous days it was horrible online gameplay expirience in ea fc game. Players were moving like they under water - slow and delayed. I did ea connection quality report right after match and got 75 score - almost 60 ms ping (it`s not a big problem) and 0.11 packet loss. Packet loss is what ruining this game for me and I`m sure for many others. And it`s not on my side - I proved it above. It is impossible to play like that! Players don`t have to go to super sweat/rage mode just to complete simple objectives in such mode like rush. As they are forced to fight to packet loss firstly, and secondly with their opponents. ea have to fix it fast or they lose a lot of their customers.
- @chachachainside That’s a really high ping and packet loss. Do you get worse delay when you have that much ping and packet loss?
- @RadioShaqs 60ms ping is not so big problem, stop it already. You are silent about part of my post again, where I`m talking about packet loss tests. It`s on ea`s side. Actually I was right about your mission on this forum. Funny. Do you really think that if people stopped actively reply in this thread all their (ea`s) problem`s with input lag/delay are gone? No way! They just realised they will get nothing good for themselves from talking to someone like you here and probably just if not quit this game then started to play much less. And guess what - of course a lot of them will not buy any next football game from ea. Maybe any game at all.
- @RadioShaqs In division rivals or some cup games I ususally have 23-30 ms ping. But I still get about 79-85 ea connection score with 0.7 - 0.9% packet loss which make my game close to unplayable.
- @chachachainside You are wrong in your preconceived notions. The reason I ask is I’ve seen other threads about higher ping and packet loss and wanted to direct you there so you could add your experience if you think that makes your gameplay worse. It looks like it might be on eas end with matchmaking.
- @RadioShaqs btw why do you call 60ms ping "really high"? It is painted green! According to official information from ea connection quality report page any green ping is great! Here is streight quote from there about green ping: "Your Ping is unlikely to result in a degraded online gameplay experience". Man, this is another proof of your prejudgment. You have no any shame.
- @chachachainside It’s really high compared to 130 and 0 packet loss in your test. Not online. I don’t even think you read anything I write which is ok. I don’t always pay attention either when reading posts on here. Sometimes I miss things. You don’t have to be so rude. I just wanted to help you.
@RadioShaqs so what about 20 ping 0 jitter and 0 packet loss? Should be good right? Why do I still get slow and sluggish gameplay?
- @pawanwazza You are missing the point. I am trying to blame ea for rush ping and jitter being higher than in rivals. I’ve seen other threads pop up. If that’s a problem I would like ea to fix it. The other guy suggested that he might have that issue. I wanted to direct him to a thread discussing it.
If you guys don’t think ea is to blame or or not paying attention on my post explaining that it’s fine but it’s all I was saying there. Always beating around the bush
- @pawanwazza It’s not beating around the bush to want to blame ea for something and want something fixed or at least an answer.
Yayyy
- @pawanwazza I mean I was the first one to post when ea gave an answer that people are looking for in here. It’s not a server issue. When people actually have evidenced like rush higher pings and packet loss I call it out. I’ve been objective this whole time. I can’t say the same for others and it shows when they always poke digs.
- @RadioShaqs Why would you wanna redirect me somewhere if this thread we are in rn is about delay? It not just looks it`s defenetely on ea`s side. And it looks like it`s you who did not read carefully enough my recent replies. I said I did multiple packet loss tests, including tests to very remote locations from mine and I had no any packet loss - literally none. I attached screenshots also. And you could see on one of them that even when I did test to some NA host I had 130 ping and zero packet loss. But after playing on ea`s servers - no matter what mode - rush with ping 50-60 or rivals with 23-30 - I have 75-80, sometimes (not often) 85 score in ea connection quality report with 0.7 to 0.11% packet loss. So obviously this packet loss issue is ea`s fault.
- @chachachainside Radioshaq is definitely not going to accept this , lol
