POE2 - Zone Load Infinite Crash - Can't Log Into Character - Endgame

Character Name: TheWorch, Lich. Level 88.
Map: Crypt.
Platform: PC

(This is the second time an error has caused my character to be completely unplayable, though, the first time was fixable; this does not seem to be. Please allow us to force a character back to hideout once per day until you fix the error).

The Problem:
Can't log into character after crashing while trying to res after a boss fight. I try to log into the character and it crashes at the load screen effectively bricking the character.

Lead up to Crash:
Was playing in a party. Got to the boss, started it without party member. Died to the boss, held res (ironically because I wanted to avoid any bugs that might reset the boss). Party member showed up, finished the boss. I tried to res AFTER the boss had died. This lead to the crash.

The Crash:
After I ressed it took me to a black screen; it wasn't a load screen. It was like my character spawned but nothing was loading properly. The game crashed to windows.

I Have tried:
Logging into an alt
Changing zones on an alt character
Changing Servers logging in to alt then changing back to bricked character
Changing servers, logging into an alt going to a zone


This is the second instance of this error I have encountered this patch
The first was different as it occurred in act 2 caravan and was fixed via a server swap. This one seems to have a different cause and is much worse.


Going to try waiting 15 minutes for the instance to die then will attempt to log back in and update post.


Instance Decay Update:
Waiting for the instance to decay allowed me to log back in. (Unless a support member fixed it in those 15 minutes but that is doubtful. If it was though, thank you for the quick response).

Have the same problem. TPed back to hideout to perform a trade and stacked trying to log in to the character.

I have managed to login after instance was killed. But faced exactly the same issue just 30 minutes since I wrote the post. Just tried to TPed back to hide out and game crashed. Now i can't log in again. Hope there won't be a rollback
