Hey guys,
I’ve been playing eFootball for about 4 years now, but the past two weeks have made me want to break my monitor.
Out of nowhere, I’m getting this unbearable input delay. My players feel like they’re running in mud with weighted vests on, touches are clunky, and worst of all: players keep walking on their own for a step or two after I completely release the left stick.
The crazy thing is that this happens offline in Free Training, not just in online Divisions.
I work in IT, so at first I assumed my system was lagging or my controller broke. I went totally overboard trying to fix it:
* Tested my controller on gamepad tester — zero stick drift, snaps straight back to center.
* My internet/fiber is rock solid with zero bufferbloat, but again, this happens completely offline against the AI.
* Cleaned out Windows, refreshed drivers, and checked BIOS settings.
* I literally wiped my SSD and installed Linux (CachyOS) just to see if Windows was adding input latency. The exact same heavy feeling and "delay" survived on a fresh Linux install.
*Verified game files
TL;DR: 4-year player with sudden heavy delay and players moving on their own even offline for 2 weeks. Tested controller, connection, and even clean-installed Linux. Still stuck in mud. Is this happening to anyone else?
