constant random dcs while switching cones/entering specific cones

Hey, as the title says iam expiriencing many random dcs while playing. The thing is, that they seem to occure mostly randomly and are not in any relation ro my connection. Once iam in a cone iam able to reenter it a million times without dcs but whem iam trying to switch eg from a palace to a courtyard map its most likely a dc. Its even predictable to see if it will be a dc, loang loadin screen is mostly a dc.
What i tryed so far:
Reinstalling
Setting texture quality manually down to 4+
Deleting Cache and client log
Adding -gc2 and -ns
Playing with a vpn connection
Raising virrually memory drastic
Giving poe a higher priority in the task manager

Nothing seems to help? Any help is appreciated
just adding: there are cones i never even dced once while entering eg. lunaris/dominus place (dont know how it is called atm)
there are cones i already dced like 18 times in a row eg. barracks (no not joking, i acuatlly counted the number, couldnt believe myself....)

Heya dude, just to help eliminate any potential areas could you post a DXDiag and some WinMTR results (preferably during a time that the issues occur).

Are you using a 32bit OS by any chance?

nope not using 32 bit os.
And, during 78 rotations, i found out, that if i restart my game every time were going to run a courtyard map, nomore random dcs will appear.... (until we switch to palace and then again back to court, the court will most likely dc me then)

i hope this was what u were refering to as dxdiag result:

Sounds like you're running out of memory. 6GB seems like enough, but I don't know what kind of stuff you're running in the background.

What GPU do you have? It's not an integrated card with shared video memory is it?

running like nothing in the background, manuell enabled all not needed processes via taskmanager or other programms.
gpuz says the gpu is called intel hd graphics family (y must be an integrated but still....)

Alrighty - well until someone smarter than me comes along, I'm going to suggest its probably a combination of your CPU and GPU being a little underpowered for the job :(

Good news is that you can try a few things to moderate it -

You can append -gc 2 or -gc 1 at the end of your program shortcut, it will decrease the amount of garbage assets maintained in the instances and reduce the overall stress on your system

You can also try -nopreload, it will not load art assets until required. Increases load time, but lowers load.

Have a go with those and spam some Docks/Sceptre/Barracks instances (not too many, don't get flagged as a bot) and see if the problem persists.

already tryed adding -gc 2, didnt try -gc1 and -nopreload, will do when i restart the game the next time.
however, iam really thankfull for your help, thank you that u took ur time to help me out (on the other side, iam a bit curious, that your the only one trying to help me, deep inside me i was hoping for an "official" answer)
Oh, your issues are already covered in the sticky posts - so the Mods/Support usually just let the normal posters point people in the right direction.

If it was something juicy or unusual they'd be in here like a flash.
