Constant disconnects when loading zones

Same thing happening to me too. After completing 40 challenges I gave a break. I come back for trying some levelling in some of communuty private leagues. I Have been getting constant freezes after loading screens. It is so annoying Long loading screens and even if a zone is loaded, then game starts freezing randomly and this increase each time I open a new instance to progress in the story. I literally can't play. I hope this will be solved before league start
Edit: Well that was quick. It is %100 windows firewall problem. Giving poe exception solved my problem. It was veird that windows suddenly decide fuking us all.
Edit2: Guess ı was too eraly to talk. Problem still exist and keep happening. While levelling entering a zone crashes and even if it loads you can't move. Closing the game and reopenning solves it temporarily and after a few zones it regularly happens again
Edit3: OK I changed my gateway to London it was at Frankfurt. Since then I have played at ziz's HC league and the problem didn'T happen

Yesterday, I had the same issues; stuck at loading, stutters even freezes while progressing...

Today, I noticed the weirdest thing. The shortcut of the s****d launcher is pointing to 32 bit version of the game. I manually ran 64 bit exe and voila!

No problems for 15 mins now. I will update if anything changes.

EDIT: Played for hours and no freezes no infinite loading screens, smooth as silk.

hey @ggg help us :(

plz guys... almost a minute long loading screens... cant get to any town. #pathofloading

I have had the same issue as you guys...
When 3.5 (betrayal) came out, the game was running fine for me ... until some minor "hotfix" was applied to the game, then the "an unexpected disconnection has occured" fiesta began.
Yesterday, when 3.6.0 came out, I was able to play without any disconnects/crashes at all. It was very surprising to say the least, I was able to play for 3 h + with no interruptions ..... until today, when a couple "hotfixes" were applied, and broke the game again for me.....

How in the world of **** does this thread go on for 96 pages and STILL not have an official response? Do you have community managers? If so, fire them, they aren't doing their job. I've invested money into this game, want to enjoy it, but every season it's the same... I start the season full of optimism, deal with the DC's, it's not a big deal whilst leveling, then about throw my PC out of the window when I try for the 10th time to do Labs for my Ascendancy but DC in last room. Let alone doing normal "proper" Lab runs! I need to do the minimum amount of room changes possible lest I DC.

GGG SORT. IT. OUT. In the meantime I'll run a charge-back on the most recent purchases I made for this league.

The same has been happening to me, the game is just unplayable at this point.

started today (again) - unplayable. spending more time in loading screens than ingame

I would be willing to bet GGG loses more players to this issue then the next 10 top issues they have COMBINED. It should be the top priority, all the time every day, every week.

Every league it gets worse...and eventually it just becomes unplayable and the person leaves and does not come back. New players get into the game get 2-3 disconnects and never log in again.

From what I know of the issue its the same thing that causes the INSANE lag with interventions. HUGE and I mean gigantic files loaded up IN COMBAT or at load screens. Its the cause of the stuttering, the disconnects everything.

I think its either impossible to fix on GGG's side or would require an entire rebuild of how they do the file system so they ignore it and accept the losses....but the losses are mounting because every league is MORE mechanics, more NPCS, more loading more files.

In my game it works flawlessly until act 5, then its a total shitstorm.

Similar issue here.
I can log in to the character screen then when I click play the game goes to loading screen for about 30 seconds then I get disconnected back to the log in screen with this error message "Disconnected - Failed to connect to instance".
Have not been able to play for the past 72hrs, even did a reinstall which did jack all.
