Failed to connect to instance

Yeah, both you and the OP have perfectly fine WinMTR runs ( yours was short, but I see nothing to indicate that anything would be different for a longer run ).

I'd say it is the ongoing server routing issues. If I had suggestions, I would give them, but I think there's nothing you'd be able to do. I think you, like some others are stuck waiting. Hopefully this is an issue that will be in the past soon.

Have you removed Asus ROG/GameFirst yet?
Thanks for the effort...

I'm not one to complain much, but my enjoyment in the game is seriously tanking at this point :/ Hope they manage to fix things soon

Am having exactly the same issue as OP since a few days and created a similar thread. My WinMTR results look fine as well. I tried another network card with a different cable and switched my gateway but still got the "failed to connect to instance" error every now and then. Am based in the Netherlands and my provider is KPN - tried Frankfurt, London and Amsterdam Gateway but always get an occasional disconnection.

This is basically an excersise in frustration. I've tried Amsterdam, London, Paris and Frankfurt gateways. All the same result.

I give up for now, because this is just pissing me of too much. I wanted to complete lab merci today, but can't even get as far as phase 2, because "Failed to connect to instance".

Same issues here, started a new char yesterday but i'm disconnected to login screen with the 'failed to connect to instance' message every 2-5 zones. Wouldn't be too much of a problem if i was mapping, but now i'm losing serious progress every instance i disconnect that doesnt have a waypoint right in front of it. I'm done for the day, hopefully things get fixed soon!
Happy to report it hasn't happened in 4 hours for me now!

Still having those disconnects when I switch area.

i am having same problems here, playing more then 3 years whitout problems, since 3 or 4 days , keep saying failed to connect to instance !! really anoying, please fixxxx
Yeah I just hit a very lucky streak yesterday or some shit. It was back in the evening and now all day again.

I would stop playing if this game wasn't like heron. Now I'm just annoyed 24/7 not even enjoying myself while 'playing', or rather while reconnecting all the time.
the people with this problem keep piling up it seems...
