Input delay all day except late at night

Honestly, I can’t even remember the last time I had a smooth and responsive gameplay that wasn’t late at night around midnight. No matter what I try, the game always feels slow and delayed during the day and only starts working properly late in the evening.

It’s pretty obvious at this point that the issue isn’t with my connection or my PC - it’s the servers. Are you ever going to do something about this problem?

    I’m definitely not the one who's spinning here. I’m literally showing you data from your own Connection Quality Report, yet you keep ignoring all of it and posting the same typical 'copy-paste' arrogant replies.

    When I get the exact same connection score (97-98, no packet loss, stable ping) but the gameplay feels completely different depending on the time of day, that’s not something I can "work on from my end".

    We're paying for this game and we deserve proper communication and transparency, not dismissive replies like this. There are countless threads, messages, and reports right here on this forum being posted every single day about input delay. Yet all you ever do is reply with "work on it from your end" and completely ignore the massive issues this game clearly has. And in the end, I’m the one here who’s "spinning"  things.

    If your only answer is 'work on it from your end', maybe you should start working on it from yours.

    You are free to spin it any way you wish consigliere087​ and blame anything and everything but this is something that you need to work on from your end.

    And how do you explain the fact that EAs own Connection Quality Report shows identical results for my connection at 2AM and at 1PM, but I'm getting a completely different gameplay experience? If the problem was with my connection, I'd be getting a different connection score, wouldn't I?

    If it works perfectly fine late at night when there’s less traffic, but becomes unplayable during the day when servers are packed, how does that point to a problem on my end? That logic makes zero sense. 

    That’s like saying if you’re stuck in traffic every day at 1 PM, it’s because of your car - not the road. Come on. The game clearly struggles when the servers are under heavy load, not when my “car” (connection) is driving on an empty highway at midnight.

    It’s honestly not okay to keep posting such ignorant and childish replies instead of actually addressing the obvious problem this game has. We’re paying for this game, you can’t just treat us like we’re crazy.

    That it improves outside peak hours points to it being network or ISP based consigliere087​.

    If it was a server issue it would be constant and at all hours of the day.

  • If I actually had a connection issue, the problem would be constant, it wouldn’t magically disappear every single night at the same time around midnight when the servers are less loaded.

    And of course I’m using a wired connection, no background apps, all overlays disabled. My connection is stable the entire time, which is also confirmed by your own Connection Quality Report (image in attachment).

    Last night around 2AM, the gameplay was smooth and fully responsive - no input delay, connection score 98. Today around 1PM, the gameplay was sluggish, player reactions delayed by almost half a second - same connection score: 98.

    There’s absolutely nothing indicating that my connection is the problem. It’s more than clear that the issue lies on the server side, and that’s as obvious as it gets.
