Game crash = lose map and all items collected

As the title states, I completed around 50% of the map when it paused for about 2 - 3 seconds and then crashed to the title screen. I logged back in and the map reset, (gates closed, Buffs removed). Not only did the map reset but... all items I collected in that map were removed from my player inventory. I have experienced crashes before but usually the remaining gates stay open for me to complete the map and the item bug is new to me.

Adding to this as well. Crashed in Trial of Chaos, lost all items picked up so far except for a transmute (lol).

Crashed to title screen, attempted to load back in, after loading booted back to title screen "this action requires an account to be logged in".

Closed POE completely, rebooted. Game put me back at beginning of Trial of Chaos (but lost the run). Could not open a new run, and attemptng to use the waypoint to go back to hideout, crashed back to title screen.

AU server, Steam client, if there is any relevance.
Same here. AU server.
Lost open map.
Lost all map buffs.
Lost all items looted during the map.

Failed to connect to map server when trying to look at atlas map
