Nice fucking game, GGG

So if a city instance crashes you lose it completely. If you go back you cant enter anymore. If only there was a way for this piece of "art" to not lag, stutter and crash all the time.

could you specify your system specifications?

Did you try to restart your PC and/or router Sir?

It's fucking Windows 10 and all the Meltdown/Spectre patches that have drastically changed the OS kernel and have reduced stability and decreased performance since January when the news of the Intel cpu cache flaw hit the Internet (also that shit hit the fan). Ever since Microsoft has been deploying patch after patch after patch in an attempt to compensate for Intel's processor cache design flaw from the early 2000s. Beaucoup updates from day 1 (January patch Tuesday) have done everything from causing spontaneous reboots multiple times a day (WTF! Windows was just idling when it rebooted!) to flat out BSODing (total foobar) upon rebooting after an OS update was installed.

My solution after reading about all this Meltdown/Spectre shit is that since I run Windows 7 Pro with it set to inform me of updates but don't automatically install them was to never install any OS update that had anything to do with Meltdown, Spectre (and variants), or any other cpu cache patch. The end result of my skipping all of these updates is a gaming rig that runs with the same performance as last year (no 5% to 30% performance drop) and with none of the PoE crashes (PoE can still crash if I {Alt}Tab out too many times, but that's always been a PoE problem since it has no in-game trade or info system... have to {Alt}Tab out to look up stuff).

Sure my gaming rig is vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre. But:
1. It's my own personal single user (me and only me) computer.
2. It will never be allowed to have other users simultaneously (not multi-user).
3. I do full hard drive backups once a month (and incremental every week).
4. I don't go to any crazy websites that could infect my computer.
5. Most important, my little old gaming rig has nothing on it that would
    be of any value to anyone else so I'm never a hacker target.

Sadly, Microsoft has eliminated the manual OS updates (show updates but don't automatically install) so the best that can be done it to set Windows 10 to defer installing for 35 days. There have been many rushed out Windows 10 updates that have had to be rolled back because they were buggy only to be replaced a few days or weeks later with a better (less buggy and/or destabilizing) update. So setting Windows 10 to delay installing the automatic OS updates for 35 days is your best (and only) solution.

Now if you are running Windows 7 or 8 (yuck!) and have had all these updates installed and it's foobaring PoE more than usual then only a clean install of Windows 7 and then immediately go into the Windows Update control panel app and "Change Settings" and set it to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" to be able to stop the Meltdown/Spectre OS kernel change shit.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a fucking game. I haven't gotten to fuck even once.

Jokes aside, it is kinda annoying that a client crash or disconnect tosses you out of whichever instance you were in. If there was a way to get back in, it would probably get exploited in some way though.

Art which is loaded on the client will not crash the instance, it may cause YOUR pc to crash the game but that dose not effect the instance.

That makes no difference if the game won't let you back in the instance, as is the case with delves, Labyrinth, or maps which are out of portals.

I loved Windows 7, very stable.
I have no issues with Win10 myself, ever, in this game or any other.
I have 3 users on this PC as well.
So let's not shoot MS before we even know if the OP is using Win10.

I am here chuckling at those that actually bother with microsoft updates and patches. Update assistant which is a virus is permanently blocked in my firewall, still on Windows 10 v1607 and have no issues.
