If it is the new patch, it wouldnt just be our servers that are lagging. Pings are a tiny bit higher than normal for me at the moment but I dont think its related. Sadly I cant check it out ingame from my current location but I will see if I can get some feedback from other players.
Once you server is updated its posible that other servers on the same box are getting updated still, this would cause lag spikes. All servers are finished updating at this time so that will no longer be an issue. If you are still getting lag spikes come let us know in #nfo-support on gamesurge or drop us an email.
