failed to connect to instance Anyone fixed the "Failed to Connect to Instance" error in PoE?

Hey everyone, I can get to the character selection screen and even create a new character, but when I click on a character, it just says "Failed to Connect to Instance."

Has anyone experienced this and managed to fix it? Any advice would be really appreciated!
