Failed to conncet to instance

Yep. Keep losing maps I haven't completed yet to these server crashes and rollbacks. I heard some people's whole gardens are getting reset too. This is horrible.

Why cant it rollback to give me the damn map back

I am experiencing similar problems - and it's so darn frustrating. 3 or 4 instance crashes in the past hour or two. 4 or 5 instance crashes from yesterday as well, it's a pretty annoying problem to have.

Cogs spinning.. dc winning..

Just lost another map with syndicate missions because of this. So many reports about an issue that severely affects gameplay, yet no response or fix from GGG. I made another thread about this issue even before the Harvest league - 0 replies. If GGG doesn't take bug reports seriously, why should I bother investing any more time and money on this game.

I made a thread about this earlier today but this one is the most popular one of these types of threads so I'll add to this one with what I posted earlier...

The past 2 days I have been getting random disconnects and rollbacks while trying to level.

Just note that I very rarely encounter these issues with POE.

So far I have disconnected and lost progression after completing Normal Lab AFTER I Ascended(had to redo lab), lost progression at the end of Act 6(had to redo last zone), lost all chamber of sins lvl 2 prog in Act 7.

There were a couple of other disconnects but I don't remember where. The above were the most annoying so they stood out.

Server is California. I have a wired connection and had to switch to predictive because of the microstuttering on lockstep (usually have no issues with lockstep unless playing high attack speed build, which I'm not).

Not looking forward to these disconnects and rollbacks when I get to maps.

Hopefully something is being done about this.

Adding my experience as described in another thread:

It appears to happen about half of the times I attempt to move to a town or hideout (although it's happened in other instances, albeit much less frequently). I get an endlessly spinning cog in the loading screen for about 20 seconds, followed by this error message in the title screen:



The log file shows a corresponding error (but nothing more):



This appears to occur regardless of gateway, and regardless of graphics API.

happens on new maps, when teleporting to hideout, in maps already loaded, delve nodes at random, its completely random for me.
also, sucessfully entering a map and finding floor level 2 on that map can cause the disconnect.

Problem still persists after 3.11.0e

I had made a reddit post after thinking I had solved the issue of mine, but still to no avail, I thought it was related to the league mechanic itself, but I also get booted when wanted to join Lab, Hideout, Town... I thought it was Global Illumination, it worked for a while then came back and booted me out.

I don't think it's anything on my end that is causing it, that I knowingly changed in the settings.

Got all my PC stats etc listed in the reddit post.

EDIT: also what seriously irks me is that it's not listed in the 'known issue' list, so apparently GGG don't know about it, meanwhile several dozen of people are affected by it.

Count me as one of the lucky one too. I get it everywhere and it is occuring randomly. I am the only one in my party that get this error.
