Constant disconnects when loading zones

Definitely have the same problem, it's getting pretty annoying. It's especially bad in towns or anywhere there are a good amount of players. This is a big problem when logging in, since you always appear in the Act's town.

Get "an unexpected disconnection has occurred" message each time. Usually boots back out to the login screen. Logging to the server is no problem, but going to any zone is an issue. Usually x2/x3 times as bad going into town, but disconnections still happen regularly with any zone.

Not currently using an SSD, tried noaasync and directx fixes, but no help there. Seems very unlikely this is an internet issue as I'm hardwired to a modem and have 200mb down bandwidth with no packet loss issues. Ping on the in-game monitor when this happens is around 60. Am connecting to the Texas server.

Same here, getting "an unexpected disconnection has occurred" message sooo often.

GGG, do something please. The game is unplayable!

Having the same problem. AND "Your authentication for instance transfer was invalid" When I login

Talk about Double Whammy. Oh wait a minute.. When I login, it disconnect me when I try to load zone again, and "Your authentication for instance transfer was invalid" again.

Quadruple Whammy?



Seriously how long has this been going on? GGG just don't care?

Log in -> game logs out -> relog -> change zone -> game logs out -> relog -> change zone -> change zone -> game logs out.....aaaand the same all over again.

Can't progress the questline cos there's 2 zones without a waypoint and so far 100% of the time it logs out during one of the 3 loading screens between waypoints.


Fu*kin' seriously!?!

81 pages and not even one reply from GGG. After 81 pages I am obligated to say this: I wonder how fast this thing would’ve escalated to GGG fix board if the problem was disconnecting payment connections..

Well done guys, well done.

Count me in. I’ve had this problem since mid incursion. Started all of the sudden. Now its so bad that I cant finish labyrinth because of too many zones to zone in. :(

Yeah, i'm just about done. Impossible to play.

If i play 4hrs, 2hrs i spend in loading, trying to get back in, run through zones and back into my map etc.

Tried changing directx, updating drivers, changing server. No change. Wasn't as bad in flashback and in previous leagues. Now it's impossible to do anything.

Try to log in>dropped>re-log>port to mine>dropped>log back in and if i am lucky i get to the mine. Soon after it will drop me again on some loading screen, be it in the mine or maps or lab>repeat the process.

Same thing, game unplayable since league start, always disconnected when loading or loading zones very slow(((

This isn't just me? I've always had these type of disconnects, but I could circumvent it by using different towns as my load-in area and just staying in my hideout. Now, with the Azerite mine I need to load to, it's become exceptionally frustrating.

I need to load it twice. So I load it once, wait till I disconnect - which takes forever - and then load again. The same happens with towns, which means that it often takes at least 10min of loading and disconnecting before I can get into the mine.

Oh, after this I have to stomach the 3 FPS I'm getting when fighting near the glowing live Azerite veins. I realize that my PC is a bit older, but it runs more graphical intense games a lot smoother. It's absurd how I can have smooth gameplay in on environment and absolutely tank my DPS in the next.

I'm afraid I'll have to skip this league at the very least and wait till GGG gets the performane of their game more ironed out or until I get a hefty PC upgrade, which won't be soon.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and add my voice to this outcry -- I've been playing since closed beta, and I have never had a complaint about lag or anything of the sort in the game.

PoE has always run like butter for me, nice and smooth.

Delve releases and it's like someone switched my butter with chunky peanutbutter and bubblegum.

What in the actual hell? I can't even get into a town because of disconnects and authentication errors. And god help me if I do, because i better play for 12 hours straight, since the connection gods won't smile upon me again for another 24 hours.

GGG Please find the source of this issue, as I'm loving the Delve league, but it's getting to be intolerable.

Same thing here. I understand I have not the fastest HDD and only 4GB of RAM, but come one... game worked almost flawless during Harbinger. There were some unexpected disconnections during Bestiary or Incrusion, but it was like one in hour, and that I could stand without problem. Now it is literally impossible to play. I tried every launch command possible (noasync/waitforpreload etc.) and tried to play in all different settings... nothing worked. Getting load into town is like 2-4 tries, today it was literally impossible to load mines (it took me 6 times, then I gave up after doing one delve - game disconnected when I tried to do next not-connected to previous route).

Don't tell me "upgrade PC" because game runs 40-70 FPS on DX11 with almost everything set to highest. Also I am able to play much more demanding games.

I just have to quit, it is like 20 minutes of going back to menu and load again to play for 15 minutes. I am ok with long loading times if the game will not crash. I can wait those 2 minutes to play, but not to go back to menu. Game is unplayable at this state. And this is a shame, because I really, really wanted to purchase some tabs and microtransactions, but it is just pointless at this point.
