Persistent Input Lag on PC – Needs Fix

Since the release of FC 26, I have been experiencing serious input lag / controller delay issues. It’s hard to understand how a game developed in 2025 one that aims to integrate real-life physics, animations, and detailed mechanics can still fall behind in something as fundamental as multiplayer gameplay optimization, especially when other online titles do not suffer from these problems.

I have been playing FIFA and FC titles for more than a decade, and I have never encountered issues at this level. This situation now genuinely affects both my enjoyment of the game and the time I invest in it. During matches, the first half may feel normal, but in the second half input delay suddenly increases, button presses register late, and players react significantly slower making the game almost unplayable.

I have also tried many different methods to fix the issue—from capping FPS, adjusting monitor refresh rates, updating drivers, testing various graphics settings, to optimizing in game configurations—but none of these attempts provided any improvement. This strongly suggests that the problem lies within the game's own optimization.

On the same hardware, I do not experience any lag in other multiplayer games. Additionally, it appears that PlayStation players are not facing this issue, which raises an important question:
Do we really need to purchase a PlayStation just to enjoy a stable FC 26 experience?
It is not reasonable for PC players who encounter this issue to feel forced into switching platforms.

I kindly request a clear, noticeable, and timely fix for this matter.
As long time supporters of this franchise, we hope this feedback will not be dismissed with a generic response. We are asking for a real, meaningful solution.

Thank you for your attention.
