Here you can contact EA support and report them this problem: [https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/](https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/)

Also, you could contact your server provider and ask if they can do anything on their side.

Sorry, but that’s all I can say.

Unfortunately can’t be solved by the hosts ☹ But via EA help I’ve seen some community managers respond to this issue.

Funny, server providers say that EA does not listen to them either.. Multiple providers tell the same, ‘we have official channels to contact them for issues like this but they rarely respond’ and ‘this is something we can not solve as it requires a fix from EA’.

Did you ban anyone recently? Could be retribution.

I’m just glad I don’t have servers anymore.

Ok, I just wondered if within those there was a possible culprit. Perhaps a pooling of banlists may find the same player being banned which could be a connection.  
Had this on BF2 a player could send packets to crash all the players to desktop. One didn’t hide the fact, he’d hold admins to ransom including myself. He’d cheat, if I kicked or banned him he’d send the packets, if a player peed him off he’d send the packets.Basically control passed to him.
