Extremely long/Often infinite load screen - followed by unexpected disconnection

Still occuring for me at Random. This can't be a coincidence that its happening when they make improvements to the shared hideout.

Each instance is of me loading from a map to my hideout OR going from town areas to my hideout. Every single time. After playing multiple leagues both Scourge and without, it seems to happen more with Scourge than others.

I seem to be having the same Issue. I didnt play expedition much but I didnt have this problem there. I played on lockstep until today because I've been getting weird latency spikes lately, even more so after i swaped from vulkan to directx. Randomly I'd get latency up to a few hundreds, in lab it would even jump to thousands and I'd randomly die on a trap that I wasnt even near before lag spike hit me. I swaped to predictive now and I still get latency spikes(In the graphs, I don't notice it that much in gameplay now due to predictive so okay I guess..) BUT the issue 6 pages worth of people before me have still remains. Not sure what have you done with the league this time but I get random disconnects when I load into some instance- some random lab area, going from some part of act to another, going back to city.. random.. Teleporting is always a gamble because I often enough have to alt f4 the client and restart.
My inet seem to be fine. I dont get latency hiher than 50ms in any other game, and my normal latency in poe is 36(when it doesnt randomly spike). My pc, cpu and gpu dont seem to contribute to the latency spikes either(shows the graph in my game..)Is it a known bug to developers now and have an ide how to fix it or is it gonna remain a struggle to get through acts next time too?
Hope this get fixed by next league. Good luck
Still getting this regularly. have tried all basic option changes, reinstalled, no overlays etc and nothing works.

multiple times ive jumped on to play, portal to hideout and straight up timeout. my pc is good and loading back in doesnt take ages but it kills the mood
since league launch my ranger is still stuck in act 1 :P lol
Also having this bug and it seem to have started this league. Have reinstalled with fresh build, removed old config files etc. Nothing seems to work. In EU.
bumb. problem still the same as always, already up to 6 pages and nothing at all from GGG, meanwhile reddit boys get 20 answers from Mark on how some new necklace or mod works.

btw i made a thread in Tech difficulties about this just to increase the chances for this to be seen. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3200973

Me and my friends are haveing this issue as well. It happens maybe every other 10 minutes. The loading screen between zones goes on forever, and the only way is to Alt+4 or use logout macro.

Been trying to get an answer from GGG for 1-2 leagues now, but the issue still persists.

Have tried every solution on their list for troubleshooting.
- Drivers
- Different in-game settings
- Clear cache
- Re-install game on different drivers etc
- Re-installing windows

The game is literally unplayable like this.
Try use a VPN solution like NordVPN or ExitLag.
If the problem goes away, then we know it's either ISP or local "security things" related.....

I have tried two different VPNs - the problem still persists.

Bump

In 3.16 I started getting very frequent infinite loading screens, we talking like every 3-4 zones it doesn't load up. The only way is to alt + f4 or wait 10 mins for DC. I played like this for about 2-3 weeks, waiting for some sort of fix but it never came. I had to give up becasue it was infuriating. Try doing lab when every loading screen can reset you completely. Mapping isn't fun either.

Skip 3 months later, I logged in to do a practise run. I enter Lioneye's Watch, the first loading screen, and guess what. It didn't load. I got two more loading screens like this in act 1 before coming over here.

A friend of mine had this exact same issues in 3.16, he also stopped playing.

I also know it's not my PC. I have ryzen 3700x and 6700 XT Red Devil with good and stable internet with SSD. Win 10. Always latest drivers. Never had problems like this before 3.16.

I tried reinstalling the game (I used to play on steam, but because of this issue I removed PoE from steam and got standalone, it didn't fix the problem).

I just can't play like this, if I can't find a fix for this problem I just might quit the only video game I play. HELP
