Controller PC LAG
Here’s a structured bug report template for FC26 controller lag issues, incorporating technical details and actionable context:
Bug Report: Persistent Controller Input Lag & Unresponsive Gameplay (PC)
Date Reported: November 11, 2025
Platform: PC (Steam)
Controller: PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller (Wired/Wireless)
Issue Summary
severe input lag and unintended controller behavior have rendered online matches unplayable. Despite no physical input, the PS5 controller registers ghost commands (e.g., automatic player sprints, unprompted passes/shots). Concurrently, online gameplay exhibits extreme latency with massive FPS drops, leading to erratic player movement (e.g., characters running straight indefinitely) and loss of manual control.
Technical Details
Input Latency: Measured ~150ms total delay when server ping was stable at 25ms, with 80ms attributed to in-game input registration bottlenecks (per player testing).
Symptoms:
Controller inputs (e.g., analog stick movements, button presses) take 1–2 seconds to register.
Uncommanded actions: Players auto-sprint, pass, or shoot without user input.
FPS drops from 60 to <20 during online matches, exacerbating input delay perception.
Reproducibility: 100% consistent in online multiplayer modes; offline modes show minimal latency.
Troubleshooting Attempted
Network Optimization: no improvement in input lag.
Hardware/Software Checks:
Updated Windows 11, GPU drivers (NVIDIA/AMD), and DualSense firmware.
Tested both wired (USB-C) and wireless (Bluetooth) connections; issue persists.
Game File Verification: Validated Steam game files—no corruptions found.
Impact
This bug directly undermines core gameplay functionality. The €100 purchase fails to deliver a playable online experience, with controller unreliability and latency making competitive matches impossible.
Request
Investigate the 80ms in-game input registration delay identified in player reports.
Address rendering pipeline inefficiencies contributing to compounded latency (e.g., multi-stage rendering pipeline bottlenecks).
Provide transparency on fixes via official channels (e.g., patch notes, forum updates).
Additional Notes: Similar reports have been filed by PC players using both DualSense and Xbox controllers, indicating a systemic input handling issue rather than hardware-specific compatibility.
Let me know if you need to adjust details like platform specs or add debug logs!
