Winning is the new losing
Does anyone else just love being handed losses is MUT head to head after winning the game resulting in your season ending prematurely? The cherry on top for me is having to deal with the constant lag and connection issues that occur throughout the game as if everyone in the lobby is playing at their local McDonalds. SMH AAA titles are so good!!!
Request for an EA SPORTS FC Server/Data Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba
I’m an EA SPORTS FC player located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and I’m asking EA to seriously investigate the lack of a nearby FC game data centre for players in Manitoba and central Canada. I play FC competitively and put a significant amount of time into improving at the game. My normal latency is approximately 38–45 ms. I have occasionally seen around 26 ms, but this is not consistent. Meanwhile, I regularly play opponents who are competing at under 10–20 ms. At a high level of FC, this difference is extremely noticeable. Player switching, first-time passes, interceptions, left-stick movement, tackling, skill execution and reacting to passing lanes all depend heavily on responsiveness. A player can make the correct decision and still feel behind the opponent because their inputs are reaching the server later. This becomes especially frustrating in Division Rivals and other competitive modes. I’ve played and beaten strong players multiple times, but the experience can feel completely different depending on the latency of the match. I’m not asking EA to make the game easier or give Manitoba players an advantage. I’m asking for a more level competitive environment. Please investigate: A Winnipeg/Manitoba EA SPORTS FC game data centre Additional server infrastructure in central Canada Better routing for Manitoba players to existing FC data centres Why Winnipeg players can sometimes receive significantly lower latency than usual, but cannot consistently connect at that latency Canada is a huge country geographically. Having infrastructure concentrated far away from central Canadian players creates a latency disadvantage that players cannot solve simply by purchasing faster home internet. Please forward this feedback to the EA SPORTS FC networking/infrastructure team. I would genuinely appreciate an explanation of what data centre Winnipeg players currently connect to and whether EA has plans to improve FC server coverage in central Canada.
FC 27 crashes to desktop instantly during "Connecting to EA Servers"
Hi everyone, I am experiencing an instant Crash to Desktop (CTD) with no error message on PC. The crash happens consistently at the exact same point: right when the game reaches the "Connecting to EA Servers / Please wait while retrieving data from server..." phase (as shown in the attached video). Interestingly, I was able to get into the game and play once without issues, but upon restarting, the crash immediately returned. What I have tried so far (none resolved the issue): Offline Launch: If I cancel the connection or launch the game completely offline (via Windows Firewall / disabling network), the game reaches the main menu without any issues. However, the second I press R3 to connect to EA Servers from the main menu, it instantly crashes to desktop. Settings & Squads Reset: Deleted local settings and squads files from the Documents\FC 27 folder, and also tested renaming the folder completely. Network & DNS: Tested using different DNS addresses, tried connecting via mobile hotspot (different ISP), and tested with a VPN. With a VPN, it hangs on "Syncing settings" for a longer duration before eventually crashing. EA App Troubleshooting: Cleared the EA App cache via App Recovery and disabled the In-Game Overlay. Security Settings: Disabled Windows Core Isolation (Memory Integrity). Since the game runs completely fine offline, this appears to be a crash triggered during the account-level server handshake / cloud profile data retrieval. Has anyone experienced this specific crash and found a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Conduit is locked again with no unlock option — Steam / multiple PCs
Platform: PC — Steam Issue: Conduit is locked even though I unlocked and used the Legend previously. Conduit currently appears as locked, but unlike other locked Legends, there is no option to unlock or purchase her with Legend Tokens or Apex Coins. The issue is not limited to one PC. I recently changed my hard drive and reinstalled Apex Legends, but Conduit is also locked when I log into my account on other devices/PCs. This makes me believe the issue is related to the account entitlement/progression rather than the local game installation. What I have tried: Restarting Apex Legends. Restarting the PC. Checking the game files through Steam. Logging into the same account on another device. Reinstalling/moving Apex Legends to another hard drive. Expected result: Conduit should remain unlocked because I had already unlocked the Legend previously. Actual result: Conduit is locked and there is no option to unlock her. This appears to be very similar to the recent “Conduit locked and cannot be unlocked” issue that was reported on the EA Forums. Please check whether the Conduit entitlement has been removed or incorrectly reset on my EA/Apex account. I can provide screenshots showing that Conduit is currently locked and that there is no unlock option, as well as any account/platform information needed to investigate the issue.
Online Franchise Crashing
I've played through 2 years of a franchise with my friend. Suddenly whenever I try to play any game, it now crashes as soon as a play is picked. I can’t even do the opening kickoff. I even deleted the game and re-downloaded it. I tried deleting the save data and starting fresh, but no matter what I still can't play, I've been advancing by simming my games. My friend hasn't had any issues playing his. Please help.Not Getting XP for Daily Stats or Spotlight
Stat tracking for Daily XP hasn't worked since the new season. I've been playing H2H, completing the games, and nothing is tracking. Also, I noticed the weekly stats for Spotlight isn't working either - I have three spotlights in the lineup. Anyone else having this issue?
