  2. I have some pretty hardcore spikes on mine too, I'm suspecting the patch itself...
     
  3. Yes Im thinking perhaps that's maybe the issue too. Think they messed up quite a few things with the last update :/
     
  4. If your server is popular like mine (60+ average most nights), could be a DDoS as well. I was getting slammed all last night.
     
  5. On average we have around 30-40 players, Max last night was 42 but today its been happening when numbers are lower :/
