Failed to join instance

Been having this problem since about 3 days. Played all league with no issues.
Problem appeared after a patch just after/during the announcement of next league (it's looking grim for league start).

Am I the only one?

Repro-steps are quite simple I launch Poe. I switch zone. Sometime it works but it's quite long before it works. Other half of the time I get: "failed to join instance". Then if I wait long enough I get something in the like of "game server lost connection to the server".

I tried deleting the 4 folders like I saw in some other threads (does not change anything). I tried switching to another account too!

Note : Nothing to my pc the problem seem to have been triggered with the last patch. Unless the server is over-taxed by players coming back to play just before the next league?

Tried again I got :

Item filter loaded successfully
You have entered Lioneye's Watch
Error: Unable to connect to the achievement server.
...
Error: Failed to join any instances.
Error: Failed to join any instances.


...


Game server lost contact with the realm.





Note : I don't always get "Unable to connect to the achievement server."
Sometime like I said I am able to switch zones a random number of times. Although the zone switch is long since that patch.

I could delete everything and redownload Poe complelty.
But I did run PackCheck.exe and everything was fine according to the tool.

Post 300+ packet WinMTR to the instance IP that is failing please.

Also what PoE gateway are you using and did you try other PoE gateways.
