Dedicated servers not responding

It would be helpful if BHVR could provide what exactly we could give them to actually report/diagnose this.

Since the Alan Wake patch, I've had dedicated server crashes somewhere between 33-50% of my games. Steam. West coast. 6-9pm.

I've mostly been playing killer, Wraith, Slinger, Dredge, Hag, and seen crashes on all of them. Slinger seems most common, but not so much so that I wouldn't chalk it up to randomness. No consistently used perk or add-ons among them. The worst was a full Hex build on Slinger for a rift challenge (Retribution, Ruin, Devour, Undying), which crashed 3 times across two days before I was finally able to finish a match with it.

Sometimes the crash is 3-4 minutes in. Sometimes it's when the game is essentially over. Sometimes in chase, sometimes just roaming the map. There's always a 4-5 second period where the server has clearly lagged out (unable to interact with anything, survivors continue moving in a straight line, etc), but zero latency indicators, and then the server dies with a "Dedicated Server Not Responding" message. I'm still gaining experience from the games though, bizarrely, and the last couple days, have not seen a DC penalty from it, so that's nice at least, though that seems to me to indicate that the existence of an issue here is known.
