Re: Nhl 22 input lag and delay

@DeliveryForKiki 

Thanks for the details. We'll certainly keep an eye out for this. Personally, I play on both an Xbox One and Xbox Series X with no delay. I have had input lag issues in the past, but using game mode as well as upgrading my router took care of that. Regardless, we're not aware of an issue within the game that is causing this as we don't get that many reports of this in comparison to the overall playerbase. I'm not saying we don't know for sure that it's an issue with the game or servers, but so far, we're not able to reproduce it. There's a lot going on with connections we can't test for though. It could be unique to your equipment and ISP. It's very odd that this happens in free skate. I haven't seen reports of that in the past but will keep monitoring for them.

@EA_AljoThe only thing that makes sense is some data is corrupted and being transferred over from system to system. If this was only online? I don't have ISP issues but sure, plausible. But offline modes too? Tonight, my new Series S feels exactly the same as my old Series X. Unmistakably. 

My router/modem has been upgraded along with my internet package to a GB download plan. But I'm sure it's not that b/c it's offline. There's not a piece of hardware connected to my gaming that hasn't been swapped 2-5x. I even purchased NHL22 on disc just for the yucks.

I wish there was a way to totally erase all my data from my account, just to test this out. Something is corrupted with the game data or how it interacts with my Xboxs because it's moving from system to system like a virus.

You could try creating a different gamertag. That would let you start over on a fresh account. Otherwise, there isn't anything else I can suggest other than upgrading your router. It sounds like you've done everything else. I know you've already upgraded it, but the fact that it doesn't support QoS means it's not quite up to par with better routers. 

@DeliveryForKiki 

The thing that's odd is that if this were a software problem, most likely, everyone would be experiencing it or we'd at least have a far higher number of reports. It's pretty rare someone says they're lagging in modes outside of HUT or EASHL. At any rate, we'll keep an eye out for other reports.

Not everyone has to have an issue for one person to have an issue. Especially when it comes to a bug or corrupted data or whatever. Maybe some people haven't spent the 100 hours experimenting on it, like me, to narrow it down. The issue is there for me, and that's beyond a reasonable doubt.  I can only hope NHL23 does not have this issue. 

It’s actually creepy how closely this guys issues mirror mine. Literally everything. It’s not ping related. Something related to cloud storage and save data on the game just constantly messes with the amount of input lag there is and it totally messes with the skating, pickups, turning, everything. Weirdly it is manageable in versus but unplayable in EASHL. Restarting the Xbox, deleting game data, seem to have short term effects but it never lasts. 

I was clinging to the hope that NHL23 would not have this delay issue. Sure enough, the beta feels just as bad. No one can diagnose the issue or give me anything remotely constructive. I'm so far beyond my breaking point, I don't think I can continue to purchase or play this game. I can play another game like MLB: The Show without issue, and I guess I'll continue to do so. 

@DeliveryForKiki 

We're getting very few reports of this with the Technical Test, but will of course keep an eye out for any issues.

As long as other people can enjoy the game, I'm happy. 

@HYDEEZY 

The Technical Test ended on Sunday so you won't be able to connect to it.

Hey, have found this thread whilst trying to find some kind of solution as I've been playing NHL 21 through to 22 religiously with no issues and no equipment changes but the last few months the game has become unplayable, the lag is horrendous and it's only on NHL, nothing else.

I'm in the UK, my internet is fine, no issues and I game online on various other titles but only get issues with NHL. Having ordered NHL 23 I'm hoping this gets rid of the lag issue but ready to send it back if it does lag like NHL 22 is now. 

What is confusing for me having followed the thread, is that my game has worked fine for so long, across 2 games, it's only the last 4 or 5 months the lag is unplayable. 

I've finished the thread and doesn't seem to be a solution to it, and doesn't sound like EA are looking into it? 

(Yes my TV is in game mode too 😉 ) 

@Deanogore666 

Are you getting input lag or is your game stuttering or stopping and then starting again, but playing fast?

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUEEE!!! FIX THE SERVERS FFS
