Re: Input delay and game lagging(after the first half) PC

Hello EA team,I am still experiencing a severe input delay issue in EA Sports FC 26 on PC after the Title Update 1.5.3.Problem description:The match starts perfectly smooth.

After any cutscene (goal celebration, corner, foul, throw-in, etc.) a noticeable input lag appears.

The delay builds up during the match and is much worse after scoring a goal (due to the celebration).

The lag is especially obvious on the kick-off right after a goal.

Pausing and resuming temporarily resets it, but after several pauses it stops working.

This only happens in online modes (Rivals, Champions, Ultimate Team). In offline modes (Squad Battles, Kick-Off) the game runs perfectly.

My setup:PC: Lenovo with i9 processor and RTX 4090

Operating System: Windows 11

Platform: Steam

Controllers tested: PS5 DualSense (wired) and 8BitDo Ultimate (wired and wireless) – same issue with both.

Everything I have already tried (without success):Configuration files (fcsetup.ini, etc.) set to read-only

Cutscene Performance set to Full Frame Rate

FPS limited to 60 (both in-game and in NVIDIA Control Panel)

Low Latency Mode = Ultra + Prefer Maximum Performance

Fullscreen and Borderless tested

VSync disabled

Steam Input disabled

All overlays disabled

Game files verified

The problem became very noticeable after the 1.5.3 patch and remains unchanged.Please, can you investigate this cutscene transition bug on PC? It is very frustrating and heavily impacts the Ultimate Team experience
