Summary of the issue:I am experiencing significant gameplay delay and slow-motion effects specifically in online modes (Division Rivals) in FC 26. Offline modes (Kick-Off) run perfectly smooth with stable frametimes, confirming that my hardware is not the issue. During online matches, gameplay becomes sluggish with delayed inputs 2s delay, and I can occasionally hear menu navigation sounds while actively playing, even though no menu is visible. The issue instantly resolves when I pause the game and gets worse during set pieces (corners/free kicks), indicating a real-time simulation or synchronization problem rather than a rendering issue.
My system shows stable performance metrics (no FPS drops, stable frametime), and CPU usage stays around 88–96% during gameplay, but does not spike abnormally. Network tests show good baseline conditions (ping ~38–42 ms, low jitter), Bufferbloat tests rate the connection as good (A), but still show intermittent latency spikes. Based on testing, the issue appears only in online gameplay and is leading to server desynchronization
I have already tested using Ethernet, optimized system performance, adjusted in-game settings, and verified stable frametimes, but the issue persists only in online modes.
Videos and dxdiag are attached please reply asap i havent been able to play since i bought this crap
