Bug Report – FC26 Input Stutter / Double Press Issue (Keyboard & Controller)
Game: EA SPORTS FC 26
Platform: PC (Steam + EA App)
OS: Windows 11
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K (3.40 GHz)
Input Devices tested: DualSense PS5 controller (Bluetooth), Keyboard
Issue Description
After installing the game from Steam, I encountered a controller stutter issue during the initial setup and menu navigation:
- A single press on a button/direction resulted in a double action (e.g., one press = two moves in the menu).
To troubleshoot, I:
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
- Deleted the initial settings folder and generated new ones.
-> After doing this, the issue was temporarily fixed.
However, today the issue came back, and after repeating the same troubleshooting steps, the problem changed:
- Instead of double presses, now the input stutters/freezes for one step when navigating menus or moving in-game.
- Double presses are sometimes not recognized at all.
This happens on both PS5 controller and keyboard, so it is not device-specific.
Expected Behavior
- A single press should always result in a smooth single action.
- Menu navigation and gameplay movement should not stutter or skip inputs.
- Double presses should be recognized correctly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install FC26 from Steam.
- Start the game and navigate through the initial setup or main menu.
- Press left/right or up/down once at a time.
-> Sometimes one press = two actions (double move), or the press stutters/freezes. - Repeat the test with both PS5 controller and keyboard.
-> Same issue occurs.
Frequency
- Occurs consistently every time the game is launched.
- Bug reappears even after reinstalling and resetting settings.
Additional Notes
- This issue did not occur in FC25 on the same hardware.
- It looks like a bug in input handling for single presses, affecting both controller and keyboard.
