any solution to input delay?
Input delay has happened previously (after some of the previous patches) but there was a way to fix it setting a monitor to 60hz and locking 60fps ingame but this time it doesn't help and moreover - ...

Hi EA Community Team,
Since TU 1.1.3 (early Nov 2025) and worse after TU 1.3.0 (Dec 2, 2025), EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC has become unplayable in online/competitive modes for me.
Affected modes
Rivals / Champions / Pro Clubs (online competitive)
Offline modes like Squad Battles / Rush are fine yet a bit of performance drop after 1.3.0
Symptoms
Controller input delay builds up to ~4–6 seconds (pass, shoot, sprint, switch)
Can’t skip celebrations/replays because the input doesn’t register
After halftime, there’s a freeze/stutter and the 2nd half becomes unplayable
FPS can drop to “slideshow” level during stutters/set pieces, with GPU usage spiking
Starts normal, then gets worse after ~10–15 minutes
Troubleshooting already tried (no fix)
Reinstall/repair, latest drivers, low settings/FPS cap, wired controller + different USB ports, clean boot/background apps off.
Timeline
I started playing at launch (Sep 18, 2025). The issue started early November and I haven’t been able to properly play online for about 2 months.
Request
Can a Community Manager please:
Acknowledge this as a tracked PC issue, and
Confirm whether it’s being investigated (possible link to anti-cheat / online performance), and
Share any known workaround or ETA for a fix?
I have the exact same issue and it’s awful. The game can start off fine but then will start having like 10s input delay. I’ve only had this for the last week or two, but before my gameplay was absolutely perfect with no flaws but now it’s unplayable and needs to be addressed . I don’t get how something like this happens and I’m appalled by the lack of customer service this company has.
I have the same issue its really annoying please let me know if u find a fix ;)
EA dgaf mate, imagine any respectable company having same issues from launchday. They are not going to fix this.
