i have been getting a lot of "failed to connect to instance" disconnections this league as well - both on SG & JP servers

i don't experience latency or network issues on other apps/programs etc. so really have no idea what is up
I got the same issues with SG server and JP server too.
Same issue with SG server

Just disconnected over and over for 20 minutes before i gave up on playing today.
About 30 minutes ago I started DCing every few minutes and cannot even play before getting kicked. I was fine for hours before then.
I sincerely hope GGG is working on this. I can't even do my first lab without getting kicked to login. I would HONESTLY tolerate this if I could AT LEAST get through lab. Guess I'll play terraria in the meantime.
Don't guess anyone has a work around for this? It's becoming unplayable.

I used to get this in POE 2 but I've never dealt with it in POE 1. Thought maybe it was something to do with new computer but I have no issues in any games other than POE 1 & 2.
