Unplayable on PC

Ever since the latest update (patch 1.4.1 or whatever it was), the online game modes have been completely unplayable. Everything worked fine before this update was released.

I can't play Rivals, Champs or any Live Events. 
Rush and Squad Battles works fine (with occasional slow motion gameplay).

I can't even pause the game in the said online modes without having to spam the pause button (which will then cause the game to randomly pause after 1-2 minutes). Surprisingly, the pause menu options and controls work perfectly without any lag.

This has been a major issue almost throughout TOTY. There's swap tokens released now that are time limited and live event based. How is one supposed to even try to get these without even being able to play the game?

Before anyone says about my internet connection or controller, I have tried both Ethernet and Wi-Fi as well as different controllers. The issue remains the same. I have 0 issues with any other online games I play on ultra settings, so this is 100% not an issue with my system.

The main tagline for this year's FC 26 was that they are listening to user feedback and keeping us updated. Forget communication, there has been 0 acknowledgment of this ongoing issue by EA which is completely unacceptable.  

I bought the TOTY version of the game so I cannot even ask for a refund. When will this issue be resolved?
