Dedicated Server - entire game world slows down for all players during heavy combat

[TemplarGFX]

We are playing 3 players on a dedicated server and outside on combat it works great.

The second alot is going on however the entire game slows down, eventually reaching about 25% real time and at that point the game client stops recognizing button presses and your basically at the mercy of the game until it catches up

Happens every time there is a wave attack of some type, or all the foliage burns

We experienced the same problem on multi player. During some waves the game is nearly unplayable

sounds like the host isnt up for the task when it comes to working power. the slowdown is in the engine since EA, even in SP, when the CPU cant keep up the game throttles down the speed to avaoid stutters/lag.
