Game crashes to login when zoning

Need some help and everything I've found on the subject has not helped yet, including changing the page size (which I reverted).

This issue started last night, my game loads fine most of the time. However, 25% of the time when I try to zone to somewhere else it crashes back to loading screen after a longer than normal wait time. This has always happened in the past, I'd say only 5% of the time before. I play a summoner which makes the game unplayable for me since building my army takes a few zones to begin with.

Nothing has changed on my system that I've been playing on for the last 8 months. It's a fast/new system, so I don't believe it's hardware related. Trace route came back fine. Re-installed PoE hoping it would help but it didn't. Any suggestions?
I am also having the same problem.
never happened to me before today and it crashes back to the login screen almost 50% of the time for me now.
So this is not a game crash I think but a disconnection from the server? Is there any error appearing? Maybe check the PoE logs?

There are several common issues listed about that here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/73322


This is all i get in the client.txt file. Also, no error popups of any kind when it happens. This is me jumping around in waypoints until crash to login screen. Anything else I can check?

I too am getting the same problem. I emailed GGG and got this in response;
In situations like this the best way to proceed will be to generate a WinMTR report. A WinMTR report will provide us with some details about the connection between your PC and our servers, and can help pinpoint any potential issues. You can find a guide to using WinMTR here

I'll try this soon after i finish updating my other game.

I did the WinMTR last night and found no issues. Ill have to re-run it when I get home and post.
Hi There,

Could you guys please let us know where you're located (country is fine), as well as what ISP you're using?
Im from the UK my isp is SKY been having issues all day disconnecting from poe server with the error "unable to connect to instance"
I am having the exact same issues, and guess what... I am with stupid SKY as well. Webpages are taking longer to load too for me so I am not too sure what to make of this, how is your connection outside of POE?
I am in US, Oregon to be exact. Carrier is Frontier/FiOS. Interesting you mentioned the internet. Normally loading a page takes only a split second, but since last night it can take several. Doesn't happen often, one out of every 8 or so pages.
