Hello,

Recently before the latest patch I would get occasional ping spikes that would last for 2-3 seconds across most maps. While this was annoying, the game was still playable. Since the recent patch, the game has developed ping spikes that send me from my normal ping of 30 up to 6000+, which occurs just after the match begins and subsequently kicks me to the login screen, which I am able to immediately login again.

This deadly ping spike occurs potentially on every map, but has a more frequent occurence on the maps "Forest Colony Snow" and "Tourmaline Desert". I am not sure what make those maps particularly special, but thats the pattern I've noticed.

My system specs are as follows:

i7 2600k 3 GHz
8GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce GTX 660
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

I've never had this issue with any other online game, MechWarrior Online stands alone with this issue, as generally I can run the game on max graphics without issue, but even setting the game to low settings doesn't prevent the ping spikes and follow-up crashing.
