ERROR : FAILED TO CONNECT TO INSTANCE
HELP!
getting FREQUENT and ANNOYING disconnects only when I use portals, or am changing zones. it happens the most frequent in this order : 1. going to, or from, hideouts. tested with my HO and other's too. 2. changing zones. eg, going from one labyrinth/atziri/map room to another. 3. using waypoints. i got my first "failed to connect to instance" on saturday. i shrugged and continued. i got hit a few more times before i got annoyed. i quit for that day. on sunday, i tried to do the labyrinth solo. i got DC'd FIVE TIMES before i could even ENTER the labyrinth... i asked a person to come with me, and i got DC'd three times while in party. (you can contact him, i will provide his name). yesterday, i tried to do some maps and the disconnects were HORRENDOUS. three DC's in less than half an hour. almost impossible to play maps, since you lose a portal (and precious loot) when you get kicked out. already tried : 1. restarting everything. 2. re-installing everything (except windows) some solutions that i will try later : 1. re-install graphics driver. 2. disable sound. 3. try playing without steam. I DID NOT have this problem before saturday. i am 99.999% sure about THAT. please let me know if i can do anything to make troubleshotting/solving this problem easier. regards, -an angry young man.

Go into the Windows Firewall (and any other antivirus/firewall/security software) and remove the Path of Exile rule.
Once that is done, add a new Path of Exile rule (for PathOfExile.exe or PathOfExileSteam.exe if you use Steam) and exclude it from detection/blocking. Out of curiosity, what sort of network are you on? Can you record WinMTR traces while experiencing the disconnection issues? |
