RESOLVED - PoE2 - Party Maps Disconnects and Crashes

Issue: Every other map used while in a party doesn't work.

Specific Details:
1. When the map doesn't work, every time you click on the map portal it will disconnect you.
1a. When you reconnect and click the same maps portals you will disconnect again.
1b. All players clicking on this broken maps portals will disconnect.

2. You must put another map in after reconnecting and trash your old one in order to continue using maps. After completing this map, the next one will not work.

3. When you know its not going to work, you still have to click a portal and disconnect for the next created map to work every time, might be due to when reconnecting you join a different town instance than the rest of the party?

4. Occasionally hitting the traverse button will crash the client to desktop.

Platform: PC - Steam
Party Size: Tested with 2 players and 3 players

How we currently play: Put a tier 1 map in, click it to disconnect (just party leader). Reconnect. Put a new juiced map in, every can join it. Next map, put in a tier 1, disconnect, reconnect and put in a juiced higher map. Repeat.

Will investigate making a map solo, then inviting party members while already inside

I started trying to figure out a way to not lose any. But there are some other issues that seem more random if I stray from my original sequence, so I quit trying.

Same issue here. 2 people, one on PC Steam, the other PC Standalone. Completely preventing us from mapping together. Not worth trashing a blank waystone every time.

Exactly the same here for me and my mate, just finished the story and got to maps, this really puts us off playing

My brother and I tracked it down to the support gem Fiery Death, I was using in Solar Orb.

Been having an issue where I'm not even in a party, I go to do a map, and the client disconnects. When I come back, the waystone is gone, the portals to the instance I just opened is gone, alongside with any of the desired location's external modifiers like boss fights or breaches. It's set me back a few really good waystones and while I still tend to get in with the next waystone and carry on, it's frustrating to deal with. Same thing happens with a group as well.
