PoE 1 servers having a heart attack?

I keep wasting my portals trying to keep my map from idling out. Every time I enter my map, I shoot to infinite ping and DC. If I sit in my hideout, I hover around 1k but don't DC.

Everything else outside PoE is fine for me.

Yet another annoying thing about this game... My map is going to vanish, because GGG has a bad system that fucks you over if their servers lag... Just no respect for the players, lol.




Edit:
Washington server. Gonna try a diff one for this map...

Nah, this one is fucked too.

Same... Looks like it's all servers. Tried London as well as East/West coast and all seem to be disconnecting within 3 minutes...

Edit: I played on NZ server and was able to stay connected... but the 200+ ping wasn't doable, though at least I was able to finish the map I had been running.

Stateside servers are still no good...

Seeing the same thing as well

I'm getting disconnected constantly on Washington and California servers, calling it a night, GGG please address obviously there are issues.

Both poe 1 and poe 2 servers are going crazy atm for me. Game keeps pausing in poe2 and it's just unplayable laggy in poe 1

So very strange me and my friend in the states are having the same issues with DC but our friend in Spain is not having the issue.

Just wanted to bump. Still happening :(

Just wanted to play Phrecia Scion :(

Same. Washing DC server. Couldn't open anything in my Hideout or leave the area. Multiple connection drops/time outs.

Changed to a new server. So far seems ok now there.

Doesn't matter which region I connect to. For a while instability only seemed to be in my blueprint instance, but it's back to being in all locations. This is making it look like I'm gonna lose my blueprint run in ruthless. c'est la vie, I suppose.

Connecting to Canada over VPN and using the Canada gateway got me back to ~60 ping
