Sandycove - constantly disconnecting

People on help chat were mentioning this hours ago but I wasn't having a problem then. About 30 minutes ago I started having problems and got kicked out of the game and can't get back in.

There seems to be a long delay on the loading screen, i.e. the bar goes 90% or so and just hangs there for minutes, then as soon as it fully loads - I get into the game and the hammer man is there and I eventually get a refresh client suggestion and have to start the same process again.

I get into the US servers this morning just fine though with the same browser.

Also this forum is still broken - so many times hit post/reply/submit new thread and just get a blank screen.

ok I guess this was the lead up to a unscheduled maintenance - appears fixed now
