Abnormal Disconnects When Refreshing Flasks at Brutus During Races

Twice recently this has occurred and it's really fucking irritating and deflating in a competitive race environment.

There seems to be a bug or issue with the Brutus encounter/instance, or town portaling. Twice recently during races, when i town portaled to town to refresh flasks, and then very quickly clicked the portal in town to return to Brutus, the return loading screen would take longer than usual and disconnect to the login screen. Both times exactly the same sequence of events.

The second time, it was not long after the start of Brutus' second phase. I can't recall if that's the case the first time this issue occurred.

Is it some kind of anti-botting mechanism or something? I'm spam clicking in town where the portal will appear, to immediately re-enter the Brutus instance.

Whatever it is, can you make it stop, please? :P

This isn't connection related afaik, i've been doing WinMTRs a lot lately and everything's fine on that note.

Happened again today, this time as i entered Upper Prison for the first time. Something is up with loading this zone. I run 3 races a day every day and play for hours, yet Upper Prison is the only zone that disconnects, and it's the 3rd time now.
