Re: Input Delay - Impossible to play with 1.4.1 update

input delay is fix in 1.4.0 patch update, but is back after 1.4.1 patch update

This game is the worst! It feels like my players are running in ankle deep water. The ball bounces all over the place as if it was made of rubber. My players have 0 ball control. I try to turn away from defenders and they knock the ball 10 feet back. Then I hold L1 and pull the stick and the knock it 10 feet in a different direction.

EA have no clue what they are doing. All they know how to do is add more overpriced packs to the store. Outrageous!

it wasn't even fixed for everyone in 1.3.1 

Input delay after today's patch on PC.

Hello EA Support Team,

I would like to report a serious gameplay issue in EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC (EA App) that started immediately after the latest update.

Since this update, the gameplay has become extremely heavy and unresponsive. There is severe input delay, delayed passes and shots, slow player reactions, and overall very poor performance. The delay is constant and makes the game almost unplayable.

Before the update, the game was much smoother. My internet connection is stable, my PC meets the system requirements, and I do not face this issue in other online games. This strongly suggests that the problem is related to the recent FC 26 update or servers.

Platform: PC

Launcher: EA App

Region: Middle East / Egypt

I kindly ask the technical team to investigate this issue as it is affecting the gameplay experience significantly for many players.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Mohamed Reda

The game broken after update 1.4.1. Input Delay, lag, performance issue, game use to run on balanced settings very well, but now need to set performance to high, but that causes high CPU & GPU temperatures that wasn't the case earlier.

Same with me, ea should be sued.

It takes immense amount of energy & time to climb up the ladder in division rivals, one moment you think you can turn pro and the other feel like quitting.

Whenever I play pro clubs with 22 players in the lobby, I get around 5 seconds of input delay and so obviously this is unplayable. This doesn't happen if I am only playing pro clubs with a few friends or in any other online mode. Ultimate team is perfectly fine and rush is fine.

My rig: 

• RTX 3060 12GB
• Intel i5 11400f
• 16GB RAM

I am also running the game on an nvme SSD. Many people have already reported this bug since release and yet there are no responses. Another complaint was even marked as "solved" despite there being no actual fix in the replies. I have no patience for obvious fixes such as "restarting PC and internet" or "verifying integrity of game files". These have been tried countless times and nothing works. We want you to fix your problems so we can play the game we paid for. 

It's a shame that every two weeks we have to address you for the incredible amount of problems this game shows us. Until two days ago, PC players could at least play the game. Today the game has become unplayable due to input delay, like 3-5 seconds of delay. This problem is the same of one month ago, and some of you developers and moderators suggested graphic settings that seemed to work; now the same graphic settings suggested by you doesn't work anymore. And NO, IT'S NOT A DEVICE PROBLEM. It's something depending on EA and what they do with every update. We are tired, angry and upset. PC players are treated like garbage every time however they spent same money of other devices players. This is not acceptable, we are in the middle of the TOTY promo ffs. 

NVIDIA 1660Ti

Intel Core i7 10th gen

Graphic settings
Full Screen, 1920x1080, 144Hz, 60FPS, VSync ON, Graphics LOW. AS YOU SUGGESTED!!!

I can't beleive its back. 

The actually made it worst. 

The input delay is back again to us, as a PC user iam facing it after today's update, i cannot play a single match 

Any solution for jt guys

Greetings, first of all, I'm very angry. For the last two days, I've been experiencing problems in my game, especially in Ultimate Team and online modes. There's a 1-second delay, and reactions, shots, and overall gameplay are incredibly slow and sluggish. Please fix this, and the optimization is completely messed up.

After the last update the input delay came back. Haven't felt this in a while, but in the beginning this was a problem and now is a problem again. Fix it ASAP as it shouldn't be like this.

PC players are treated like garbage?? 🤣 I have input delay since September on PS5, what about that?? Gameplay on console is garbage, trust me your input delay is balanced with me now 😂 Cross play shouldn't even be allowed with the abysmal difference of gameplay console vs PC. Now more seriously, Friday EA is waiting for some more FC Points load up (if you can even connect to UT 🤣), but trust me they will not use the money to fix their servers. Now imagine, I can't even finish a game without these garbage game kicking me out of their servers. 2 days ago couldn't complete gauntlet because if kept dcing me mid match, now it dced me twice in a row in drafts making me loose and waste 2 tokens for free. Trust me, it's not a PC specific issue, it's a whole EA company problem that only see 💵🤑💵🤑💲💲💲💲in front of them, but addressing all their game issues it's irrelevant. They broke the game after 1,5 month after release, took them 4 months to finally address 🌈 flicks. It seems they are very quick to break the game, but too slow to then fix it or address the issues. This is the first FIFA or FC if you will I buy since FIFA 21, but I'm not making the same mistake again next year, regardless of what streamers will say. There's no way I'll pay 70€ again for this garbage, there are free to play games more fun to play with 50% less issues! 

i thought i was crazy when all of a sudden after updating the input delay was back😂i remember celebrating this past week that finally after months i can finally play a normal game, looks like its back to square one, i really wish there was a high authority that holds this company accountable cause this is not fair and during toty no less lol and best belief this is gonna take them atleast 4 months to even notice

Hey man, if you're on WIndows 11 (or even 10), try and disabling Game Mode, saw this on a reddit post and it worked, even for me that I run my game on an old 7200rpm HDD

Don t work for mine

Its not 1.3.1 pacth but its 1.4.0 patch after i check again

Are these issue's only with pc?

they need to revert the patch or release 1.4.2. knowing EA, they will take two months to fix it and reintroduce it few weeks later. I wish my credit card got stolen the day I decided to purchase this game

Instead of fixing issues, they brought the old delay issue back 🤣🤣

After every set piece, there is huge delay upto 10 seconds and input doesn't sync with graphics 😬😬

Yes i think, my friend have fc 26 in ps5 its no any problem

Im use fc rollback now for downgrade my fc26 patch to 1.4.0, and fc26 run smothly for online or offline
