First HUT Game
What's with the User Input Delay? And, no, it sure is NOT my console or my controller. Please explain.

Paging @DeliveryForKiki ... Didn't you have a 300page thread on this last year and a new one already started this year??
How many reports did you receive from there @EA_Aljo ??

Here's how it worked last year (and some of the previous year):
1.) I explain the issue clearly. I provide video evidence
2.) I'm asked for more video evidence, or someone else is asked for video evidence after EA ignores my own. I provide more video evidence
3.) I posit theories about de-sync, the cloud, etc. I get the runaround
4.) I finally get the mod to acknowledge there is an issue. But he says that the EA developers can't replicate it......in Vancouver. Case closed!
5.) I laugh maniacally

I don't even play HUT, but my delay would 100% be there too. It's in every mode. Even in offline modes. Without issue in other games.

@DeliveryForKikiAnd others see this and lose all incentive to report..... Thus "we're not seeing many reports"
I'll quote my post I just made from my NHL24 Technical Issues thread in here:
NO DELAY:
In WoC free skate, I'm just doing left stick cuts back and forth. It looks normal. It feels normal. I don't even have elite edges on.

DELAY:
I am doing the same left stick cuts in the same session. "Why is your guy stopping and turning the wrong way?" you might ask. Because this is how it manifests.

Sometimes, if I reset play, it will stop. But then just begin again. Usually, the first few minutes of loading the game work before there's some slight hitch in the frame rate. Then it's shot.
Now, this doesn't communicate how heavy (fat man lag) it feels. My right stick barely works. My sprint takes an extra second. It feels like packet loss on perfect hardware/connection. Online? Good lord. Forget about it. With the physics and delay, I might as well be in the Upside Down. Besides delay, the animations don't feel synced on my screen vs. the opponent's.
I could write a novel, but I already did last year. I just wanted this incontrovertible video evidence in here.
