One second of input lag despite game claiming 10 ms of ping (video)

Hi.

Please see the following video of the issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NHLHUT/comments/rpbylb/video_proof_of_gamebreaking_input_lag_on_the/

I am using a hard-wired 1 gbit optic fibre connection. I live in Finland so the nearest server is in Sweden.

The game's network monitor shows that I have rock solid 10 ms latency to said server.

As you can see in the video, when I get matched up against other Finns there is often a second of input lag and the game is absolutely impossible to control when this happens.

This only seems to happen when connected against other Finns, and as you also can see in the video the game claims that the latency is just 10 milliseconds.

The input delay comes and goes and rarely affects the entire match. It is also often not as bad as in the video but still enough to have a hugely detrimental effect.

Is there some kind of lag compensation going on as Swedes I have spoken to say they also get the same kind of impossible gameplay against Finns? Finns often use mobile cellular connections.

I should also mention that I played in the middle of the night when the game's population was extremely low and had to wait several minutes to find a match.

This has to be solved as the game is not playable as it is now.

Thank you so much.

    @XYZASDFSAFSFDS 

    I appreciate your effort to further this discussion and your Reddit post was interesting. However I’ve noticed that EA, or at least @EA_Aljo goes silent as soon as lag comp is brought up. I think they are very aware that lag comp is causing all these issues but it allows a greater market to play their game so in interest of sales, maybe they are unable to discuss removing lag comp with us customers. 

    @EA_Aljo if you will actually reply and deny what I just said, and can confirm there is no lag comp in the game then I will be grateful. But honestly as it stands right now you are ignoring me and it appears you are aware of the problem but keep giving us all the runaround to avoid the real problem.

  • I would like to know this too I have a ping 21 m but the behavior in that game, however, is fear unplayable when nothing listens to you and EA no answer as really great

    I came here because I have similar issue and I am tired of it, Ive played over 400 Chel games and 200 HUT games and I notice it usually when playing people in Quebec or Ontario but sometimes when playing people in upstate NY or Washington DC. I think it has to do with proximity to server since servers are in VA and Montreal supposedly. I would like a response as well but it seems EA goes quiet when it comes to this.
