Settings not being saved, missing connection report, severe input delay
Title: PC - Worse online input delay since v1.2.0, shooting assistance not applied, Connection Quality Report empty
Platform: PC (Windows 11), FC 27 build 1.2.0
Setup: RTX 4090, 4K 120 Hz G-Sync (frame cap 117), wired Ethernet (1 Gbps), wired DualSense
Problem 1 - Online input delay
Online modes (Ultimate Team, Rivals, Champions, and Ultimate Team vs AI) feel delayed and unresponsive. It has been intermittent since launch (worse in the morning and evening), but it got clearly worse after v1.2.0 on 10 November. Offline Kick-Off feels fine.
Problem 2 - Shooting assistance not applied
Shooting assistance is set to Assisted in the settings, but in online matches shots behave like Precision (no aim assistance). Reaction Time Calibration is shown as off. This looks like the same issue other players have reported, where the menu shows Assisted but matches play as Precision.
Problem 3 - Connection Quality Report empty
The EA Connection Quality Report shows "No match history available" even though Usage Sharing Data is on and I have played all match types.
What I have checked on my side
- In-game ping is a steady 14-16 ms, with no connection warnings.
- Network adapter error and discard counters are all zero, and the link is 1 Gbps full duplex.
- Route to my ISP shows 0% packet loss (pathping), and bufferbloat test grade is A.
- GPU usage is about 40-50%, CPU is not throttling, and the frame cap holds at 117 FPS.
- Afterburner logs (28 October, before v1.2.0) show identical frame pacing in offline Kick-Off and online vs AI, so the delay is not caused by PC performance.
- G-Sync, V-Sync and driver settings are correct, and the controller is wired at 250 Hz.
Since the shooting setting is not applied and the Connection Quality Report has no data, I suspect something is wrong with my account or profile data, or with how settings sync online. Could EA look into this? Is anyone else seeing the same since v1.2.0?
