[Mac] Slow load times and frequent logout/disconnects

Hello,

I'm trying to play PoE with the new Mac client. Once I make it in game I can almost play uninterrupted, but initial load/login is unreliable.

Also, attempting to go to Heist area, Rouge Harbor, always results in a disconnect.

My Mac is up to date, to the best of my knowledge.

System specs are:
macOS Catalina, 10.15.6
3.4 GHz Quad
8 GB Ram
Radeon Pro 560, 4 GB

Is there anything that could be effecting load times? Or causing the disconnects?

Any help or suggestions welcome.
