Severe Input Delay Caused by Routing Issue – Turkey Region (Vodafone ISP)
Hello EA Team,
I am experiencing severe input delay in FC 26 for the last few weeks, even though my internet connection and PC performance are completely stable. Before this problem started, I played the game for months without any delay or network issues.
Here are the details of the issue:
🛑 Problem Description
- There is a 0.5–2 second input delay in every match.
- Commands such as passing, shooting, defending, and switching players respond very late.
- The delay happens every day and makes the game unplayable.
- This is clearly not a hardware or local internet issue.
🌐 Connection and Technical Details
- Location: Karaman, Ermenek – Turkey
- ISP: Vodafone (35 Mbps fiber/DSL plan)
- Connection Type: Ethernet (Wired)
- Ping in Game: Stable around 48–55 ms
- Ping to EA Servers: ~140–150 ms (stable but higher than normal)
- MTU: 1472
- DNS: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
Despite all settings being correct, there is extreme input delay.
🧪 Troubleshooting Already Tried
I already tried all possible fixes:
- Reset router
- DNS change
- MTU optimization
- Port forwarding
- Clean boot
- VPN (NoPing, Mullvad) → made it worse
- Reinstalled EA App and FC 26
- Windows network reset
None of these solved the issue.
📌 Important Note
This problem started only 3 weeks ago.
Before that I played every mode (Rivals, Champs, Online Seasons) without any delay.
This suggests a routing issue between Vodafone Turkey and EA servers.
Many players from Turkey are reporting the same problem recently.
🙏 Request
Please forward this issue to the network engineering team.
It seems to be a regional routing / server path problem affecting Turkey-based players, especially those using Vodafone.
Any update or investigation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
