Failed to connect to instance

Game crashed on one char. in act 3 … “failed to connect to instance” while trying to relog … create other character… “failed to connect to instance” … log out … open PoE 1 … load character… “failed to connect to instance” … all characters on all versions of account are now locked and unplayable

I am also having this issue mine started around 10:30pm EST. Same exact issue but in Act 1.

me too northeast coast us.

same here in poe2 on any area

Repeated "Failed to Connect to Instance" and disconnect (return to login screen) when loading new areas, DC gateway. Never happened to me before now. Other online games work fine. Takes repeated attempts to load new areas.

Constant failed to connect to instance throughout the campaign and maps, multiple times going to hideout, entering a map, and leaving maps. Any loading screen is 80% chance to disconnect.

Tried different PCs, regions.

I tried reinstaling the game, changing regions, but nothing seems to work. Game is unplayable at current state for me.

My game crashed while I almost finished a map boss.
Tried to log in but there was some error (similar to "Failed to connect to instance" but it was a different text which I forgot) and I could not go log in onto the character.
Logged in on a different character tried to enter the map but got disconnected.
Tried to reset (the house button) the map but after trying I got "Failed to connect to instance" and now I cannot log in on any character in that league.
Can still log in on my old characters in different leagues.
I have no bug # because I cannot log in and get it on the affected characters.
I cannot play the current league at all.
