Failed to connect to instance

I am using Bell from Canada, never had issues until the most recent patch.

p.s. 100 replies in 5 minutes holy crap

I'm having the same problem. I use a Belkin router and have enabled the ports as suggested in previews posts, I also tried using the European sever to enter town then switch back to the US server after entering a new area. I disabled my firawall and even went as far as uninstalling my old antivirus program and installing a new one. Is there no way to fix this?

I am receiving several errors

While trying to load the client I get an error unable to connect to patching server.

After several attempts I get in and I get am error saying I cannot connect to login server.

This has been happening for 2-3 days.

Today when I try to join an instance it says Failed To Connect To Instance and then boots me from the game.

Essentially nothing has changed on my end and has gone from a perfectly playable enjoyable experience to unplayable.

Please Help.

Also been having the same issues for the past few days, would like help :\

It's been months and still having the same issue. This has pretty much made PoE unplayable for many users. Sad because this game has potential.

I have lost hours upon hours of gameplay because of this issue. Any actual progress i make is lost when i get disconnected mid-instance while trying to port to town or sometimes even when simply switching areas. I can't play it anymore because i am not making any progress, i am stuck in the same spot. In the last hour i have been disconnected 4 times and from the middle of the Vaal Pyramid went back to the waypoint in Waterfall Level 2. Have to start all over again. This game is unplayable for me. I have tried every suggestion in this thread and no luck therefore i can only say it is from the server. Are the devs even looking into this?

I haven't been able to load any of my characters for about a month, I just get returned to the log in screen whenever I try to select one to play with the message "failed to connect to instance". If this has been fixed somewhere can someone redirect me? I even tried re-installing the game and still the same problem.
