Re: PC Controller NOT WORKING online - Why it fails and how to temporarily solve it

Despite the recent patch, my controller is still not working in Online game modes like rivals, tournaments or drafts, however is working in the menu and offline modes like Squad Battles.

I tried diffrent settings and it only works when I lower the resolution and lock the game to 30 FPS. But after some time durigng the game it shatters and there is few seconds of lagg that unable me to play.

Either way It's unplayable experinece because instead of playing in Full HD with 60fps that I can play normally in offline modes I have to struggle, and lower the resolution to 1600x900 with 30 FPS just to be able to move my players. I even replaced my graphic card to upgrade my PC but even this didn't solve the problem so clearny there is something wrong with game optimalization and controller imput.

Is there any fix to that? I've tried many settings and when I lock to 60 FPS or higher than I can only pass or shoot but other buttons are not resspoding to my command in online game modes.

    This problem is coming from your CPU. If you have 4 cores, that's it. For some processors its working, for some not. Mine for example is working fine now. You didn't need to change your GPU, if you searched that here on the forum you would know that

    What you can try is:
    1. Close all your useless processes in task manager before you enter the game.
    2. Uninstall all other windows preinstalled programs like outlook, teams, games from windows (which can use your resources in background)
    3. Try to set Low priority in task manager for EA processes (other than fc26.exe)
    4. Disable useless services (WIN+R -> Services) you can search on google/chat gpt what are those services (Ex. i disabled fax, printer whatev which are set enabled by default).

    That's what i did before the patch for atleast getting a 60fps/60hz experience of playing.

    Believe me I'm trying everything, diffrent settings and all just to be able to play for a game that I've paid extra to play ealier. Specs are almost the same as they were for FC25 and there I had no problems at all. Here somehow my controller is not working only in online modes, so why it works in offline modes?

    Yes I know I kill all other apps, overlays etc, and it's still not working. Menu and offline modes are smooth as baby skin with 60 fps and medium settings but online modes make the game unplayable.
