Failed to connect to instance 149 times over the last two weeks.

This has been getting unplayable for me lately. For the last week or two, every transition has about a 50/50 chance to give me a "Failed to connect to instance server". If I leave a map, go to my hideout, go to anyone elses hideout, any waypoints, anything. When I disconnect when entering a portal, it won't consume the portal (which is nice).

I have checked my client log and the message of "Failed to connect to instance" has shown up 149 times since April 27th.

2024/05/12 13:37:02 79484828 ca3a6a3d [INFO Client 34772] Connecting to instance server at 160.202.166.125:6112

I am even starting to get issues contacting the login server:

2024/05/12 13:47:21 80103750 890d9d58 [INFO Client 34772] Async connecting to dal01.login.pathofexile.com:20481
2024/05/12 13:47:32 80114921 3c73b6e2 [INFO Client 34772] Unable to connect to login server.

I can ping google while this is happening, stream video, and generally do everything else without any other issues, it just seems to be PoE from what I can tell.

Here is my pastebin of WinMTR from the two above: https://pastebin.com/gWxCtEGd

I'm at a loss, here, according to WinMTR both login and instance server received all of the packets sent from my router.

- Windows 10
- Verizon Internet
- I am hardwired from my router. (Asus)

I thought it was my ISP and figured it would eventually get better, but it hasn't.

I have tried both Washington DC and Texas gateways, doesn't make a difference.

One thing to note is that there was a Tornado in a nearby area on April 26th, so I suspect it may be related to that. However, from the WinMTR it looks like the amount of packets I have sent ends up being received, so I don't know. Nor do I know enough to contact my ISP to point them in the direction. But surely this would affect more than just PoE?

Any suggestions are helpful as I can't even finish out my challenges this league without constantly disconnecting. Really need to figure this out.

Same issue here. Just started happening today. Never ever happened before. Now it's at least 50% of the time, maybe even 75%.

I am getting question marks in latency for most of the gateways. Only gateways I can use is Moscow and South Africa, not sure I trust those servers.

i started getting this issue yestureday and now its so bad that i cant even progress my character trough ascendency bcouse i get that same error its so ridiculous...

Are you guys or anyone on your connection torrenting? I have seen it interfere sometimes.
