unresponsive controller/mouse click playcalling or player control
This relates to Madden 19 on PC: I can load a online game (head to head or franchise) and select the kickoff play that I want (left, right, middle, etc), but after that there is such a huge lag in the controller (or mouse click when I tried using that, though the pointer itself moved fine) that I can even call a play. I have tried quite a few things. I don't like the idea of having to turn my firewall off, but I even tried that. My ping rate is about 1 or 2 ms, so that sounds like it should be okay (but correct me if I'm wrong), and my upload and download rate seem to be around 24 Mb/s, which isn't great, but I would think would be fine for calling plays if nothing else. The game art still looks good, and the players seem to run okay on kickoff (or if I'm on defense after kickoff I think they run okay there too - no major latency in that). I'm using a Xbox controller plugged into the PC, but like I said, the mouse click seems to be about as bad for unresponsiveness. I also get a message after a little while that "your opponent has experienced network problems" or something like that, and it sounds like they get the same message about me. Further, after the first delay of game penalty I get (if I am on offense after receiving opening kickoff) - since I can't call a play most of the time - the opponent doesn't seem to be able to accept or decline the penalty; I don't know if this is because the online connection has been disrupted already or not. I don't know if it is related, but it does seem like the EA servers have disconnected a fair amount since I did online franchises recently, though that just means maybe a few times a day for a very short while for the most part. I am able to play online league games just fine against the CPU, it is only against other players I can't get it to work. Can you help me? I have no idea why it is doing this. If there is any other information I can provide, please let me know. It is completely unplayable online in the current state.
Thanks, but I did that already. I also bought a new computer (which I later returned) once it was determined to be fairly likely that below requirement specs were causing the issue. It worked on the new computer. I doesn't mean that below requirement specs were absolutely the issue, but I would say the likelihood is fairly high.
