For days now, the EA FC 24 community in Southern Africa has been grappling with an opponent tougher than any virtual rival: latency.
Reports began flooding in, pinpointing severe connection issues that transformed Division Rivals and Champions games into slideshows of frustration.
A game designed for swift passes and strategic plays has been bogged down by a sluggish connection, with players facing delays ranging between 120-200 milliseconds.
The outcry wasn’t silent. One vocal player shared their ordeal, emphasizing the severity of the situation:
“The servers have been down in Southern Africa since Tuesday. We are only connecting to players from the Middle East, and thus have latency between 120-200 ms, which makes the game completely unplayable. Please fix this issue. Thank you.”
This sentiment isn’t isolated, as a significant majority of complaints have revolved around server connection issues, making up 85% of the grievances aired by the community.
Gameplay hiccups followed with 11% of the feedback, while concerns about the game’s website constituted a mere 4%.
As the clock ticks, the anticipation for a fix grows.
The community’s patience is being tested as days go by without a word from EA FC 24 on a potential solution.
The silence from the developers has left players in a lurch, questioning when they’ll be able to enjoy smooth gameplay once again.
