Unplayable Gameplay Despite All Fix Attempts

Hello,

I’ve spent an enormous amount of time, effort, and money trying to make EA FC/FIFA playable on my system, but nothing has helped. I have a powerful PC on which every other game runs perfectly, but FIFA feels completely broken.

Here’s what I’ve tried over time — absolutely everything possible:
 • Reinstalled the game multiple times.
 • Updated and rolled back GPU drivers.
 • Disabled all overlays (EA App, NVIDIA, Xbox, Discord, etc.).
 • Tuned NVIDIA Control Panel settings according to professional guides, locked FPS to 190–200, optimized latency and frame delivery.
 • Adjusted my gaming monitor specifically for FIFA (refresh rate, color modes, overdrive, etc.).
 • Changed in-game settings (V-Sync, G-Sync, FPS limiters, resolution).
 • Disabled GameDVR, Game Bar, Xbox Game Mode, and background services.
 • Applied registry and power tweaks (High/Ultimate Performance plans, latency fixes).
 • Tried different monitors, DisplayPort cables, and refresh rates.
 • Fully reinstalled Windows 11.
 • Followed advice from one of your support representatives to switch from Windows 11 to Windows 10 — no improvement.
 • Used DDU for clean driver installation, tested RTSS, latency optimizations, and dozens of community fixes.

Yet the gameplay remains unplayable:
 • Players feel heavy and unresponsive, like moving through oil or slow motion.
 • Defending is nearly impossible due to severe input lag and sluggish animations.
 • The game feels completely desynced — there’s no sense of speed, rhythm, or natural responsiveness.

I’m not a beginner — I’ve been playing online since FIFA 22 and consistently achieved 12–14 wins in FUT Champions. I know how the game should feel, and this is absolutely not it.

The time and nerves I’ve lost trying to fix this are gone forever; I just want to recover at least the $100 I paid for the game. Please review my case — I truly believe I’ve exhausted every possible solution.

Thank you for your understanding.

  • the only way i manage to play online modes, such as rivals, drafts, etc its to turn VSYNC on 50% and limite the hz to 60. the games still feels bad because you are playing on 60hz but its closer to what it should be. This started almost a month ago, thousands of pc players are impacted by it but EA chose to keep ignoring by just saying "we are investigating. They should refound every player with this problem, its the minimum.
