Input Lag/Unresponsiveness
New game, same issue. Since last January. Not my first rodeo posting here! To get the jump on the response: Xbox Series X, 1ms monitor, all hardware has been swapped multiple times (including my sys...

@OzzyGoose78 DM him on twitter would be the way to go, tell him you are from vancouver and have horrible connection to server yet he is from same area and his game play looks smooth ask him who is ISO is and if he has any suggestions. EA person is incorrect because my friends from Calgary still connect to Oregon as of last week and still have delay.
@niccolo91ea So I talked with SAP Alien on Twitter just now. You are right! It's my ISP. I'm on Shaw and for some reason their DNS doesn't work well with the EA servers! There is another ISP named Telus that has Fibre Optic and he said you have to use them. He has some friends that used to be on Shaw and said it was a nightmare. Thank you so much! You have no idea what a relief it is to have finally figured this out! They're coming next Tuesday to install it. I'm so excited to play some Chel with no lag!!! You da man!

You da man!try offline, you will see that it has nothing to do with the connection. The game itself is faulty, not your console, not your connection, just the file you download, but still wish you luck, hope it's really just the connection for you
- @Dadaruklija I hear what you're saying but I don't think the game ever really goes totally offline if that makes sense. Some games I don't have lag so there's definitely something happening only some of the time. SAP Alien who is one of the better players here in Vancouver says he has no issues. Also he has buddies who said it was brutal playing on Shaw but have no issues now on Telus. But yeah you never know. This whole thing has been a mystery
@OzzyGoose78By offline I didn't mean team battles, disconnect from the console and play completely offline without connecting to the server. If the game runs normally then it's the connection, if it's just as terrible as before then you can save the money and time for a new provider.. I've already tried 100 different things, like in the other house, different connection , other new console..nothing has changed.. for me only 2 things come into question, a faulty file when downloading the game or patches or updates of the consoles that don't get along with EA games. We focus too much on EA, maybe our consoles are causing the asynchronous game.
Try changing your static DNS1 to 1.1.1.1 and Static DNS2 to 8.8.4.4.
This bypasses the ISPs preset DNS they use....
Been running this ever since NHL22.
- @OzzyGoose78 I’m glad you spoke with him and I’m glad you possibly found a solution. The people I spoke with in the past tell me Vancouver is one of the best connections it’s almost like Montreal, so I hope it’s game changing for you and you can enjoy this game again.
- @SpaceFury65 Hey dude thanks for the tip. Changing the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.4.4 has helped reduce the lag a fair amount. I still get some lag but it's way better. I'm actually 3-4 in Champs right now. The best start I've ever had. The main problem is my ISP thou. I've spoke with some guys here and the ISP I'm on right now (Shaw) is the problem. I have an appt for Tuesday to switch to Fibre Optic (Telus) from what I've been told it will be like night and day the difference. I cannot wait
- @niccolo91ea Thanks man! You are actually a legend. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have thought to switch my ISP. Sorry if I came off as a know it all. I was just super frustrated. Thanks again bro. I'll let you know on Tuesday how it goes, after I switch my ISP
