PC Controller NOT WORKING online - Why it fails and how to temporarily solve it

If you are facing problems with PC controllers and your controller does this:

  • Works perfectly in offline: moments, squad battles, ...
  • At online matches: rivals, tournaments works for a few seconds and suddenly stops working, you can only pass or shoot

Then you have the same problem as me.

Apparently its caused by some graphic or screen issue, and not by the controller.

Here is a temporarily solution that "works" for me:

Go to screen settings and limit your fps to 60hz and turn on VSync, this way your controller should work.

I say temporarily solution because I don't find this a real solution, I hope they don't spend again 1 month without fixing this like last  year.

This problem is similar to last year problem that was causing stuttering, lag and fps drop when someone in the match used L1 dribbling, and it was temporarily solved by limiting fps.

This should be fixed ASAP, honestly I don't want to play this game with a terrible 60 fps experience, the game looks horrible and doesn't even look like 60 fps, looks that you are playing a **bleep**ty 30fps game in 2012. I WANT TO PLAY WITH MY 165 MONITOR REFRESH RATE.

If this does not get fixed it's an absolutely lame and a joke company, how can I be experimenting the same issue that I had on FC 25 (That lasted months of unplayable gameplay) ON THE RELASE DATE OF FC26! ON THE RELEASE DATEEEE!!!!!!!

If you find some setting to improve this, you can share it on this post

    Hey everyone!

    We've just released FC 26 update version 1.0.3. This also included addressing some instances of controllers not responding during gameplay.

    Please also keep in mind that it's important to only use your controller after launching the game. Switching back and forth to mouse and keyboard can cause some problems.

    We are also not done yet and our team continues to investigate your reports on this issue and plans future improvements.

    I'd also recommend checking out our new guide for controller issues.
