Failed to connect to instance

After 15ish minutes it lets you load into 1 area but if you die or leave that area it does this again.

Even after the latest 15MB patch same thing on both clients. I also tried characters in different areas and no joy.

This is happening to me as well.

same here started when going into a new zone near end of act 3, failed to load into next area tried to repair game , re-install , relog , steam + ggg , tried to walk to wp , eventually i just tried loading in and townportling 20 times and it eventually loaded but then kicked me. tried to make new char got to first town could not load into town always " Failed to connect to instance " or " failed to load instance " now i cant even log into char always " failed to connect to instance. its been 3 hours.

Up, same issue.

Similar issue here: I choose my char, while in the loading screen I start to hear the sounds of my last instance (I guess), then the game just closes.

Same. Looks like the servers are undergoing maintenance. Hoping I can get in after this is complete.

FWIW, I cant get in on a new character or old character in Act I.

Interestingly enough, its the same thing on POE 1.

Still experiencing this ggg and will continue to bump until they at least acknowledge it

Same, both POE1 and 2 are getting failed to join instance now
