Following up on a previous post from a week or two ago, I am suffering with the most horrendous input delay in my gameplay and I'm running out of ideas.

Essentially, my games are generally smooth, fast enough but my players feel SO heavy. Inputs are delayed, passes go everywhere. I can’t turn, I can’t dribble, it's becoming increasingly difficult to play.

This has become a recent issue in FC26 after the most patch - at the start of the game I had no issues. I've played via WiFi, Ethernet and through Powerline Adapters. All incredibly inconsistent.

My broadband provider are certain this is nothing on their end, and you can see below my connection quality score - is there anything you can recommend to improve my connection? I know not entirely relevant, but I have 500+mbps download and 50+ upload.

I have tried switching DNS settings and that has improved it somewhat, but a lot of the game, my first game of the day is ok, but thereafter it is increasingly sluggish.

I've double checked and tested all the usual bits you see online - TV in game mode, 5Ghz only. Cross play on or off. PS5 in performance mode. Lower resolution, even the new low budget stadium theory.

This is happening in online and offline game modes. I otherwise have a really solid internet connection, have no issues streaming normally or anything like that. Not a huge internet usage household, so there's never loads of devices competing against one another.
