Did you ever consider you are experiencing lag every time there's an update...is because there's an update and everyone has to download the new patch? This puts strain on the servers and bandwidth of the connections. It's no different than your Netflix stream losing quality when you're download something or someone else is streaming in your house.
The reason the issue goes away when you "tweak" your settings is more so because the community as a whole will have downloaded the patch and the strain is gone so pings return to normal levels.
Just give it some time and have a little patience.

I think you don't understand the essence of the problem, it's not the fault of the load on the servers (why then in other EA games there is no delay with patches?) it's about the anti-cheat javelin, because of which after 1 half the fps drops to 5fps and the load on the video card is 100%, other users have a delay for 2 months, there can be no delay due to downloading the patch

I don't think the problem is related to this .. because the last patch before this .. they solved the problem and i was able to play right after i downloaded the patch .. but input lag returnes again after yesterday's patch .. it seems like whenever they release a new patch they mess up the files of the previous one or something like that .. it's frustrating to have an issue like this in 2025 and it's from a very popular company like EA !
