Severe Input Delay in Online Matches (PC)
Title: PC - Severe Online Gameplay Delay Despite Stable FPS and Green Connection
Platform: PC (Steam)
Issue:
I am experiencing severe gameplay delay during online PvP matches in EA SPORTS FC 26.
My FPS is stable and performance is normal. Offline modes such as Kick Off and Squad Battles feel responsive and smooth. However, online matches feel very delayed, with players responding slowly to inputs, turning slowly, and overall gameplay feeling heavy.
What I have already tested:
- FPS is stable during gameplay
- Offline matches work normally
- Connection indicator is always green
- Tested with LAN connection
- Tested with Wi-Fi connection
- Tested with mobile hotspot
- Reinstalled NVIDIA driver using DDU
- Performed a clean driver installation
- No significant performance issues on my PC
PC Specs:
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
- Driver Version 591.44
- Platform: Steam
The issue only occurs during online PvP matches. Since many other players seem to be reporting similar gameplay delay problems, I would like to know if this is a known issue and whether EA is currently investigating it.
Thank you.
