300K Latency

A little before 9:45 PST (16:45 UTC). Lvl 71 Lich solo (+minions).

Entered the Vaal Factory map with a Tier 1 waystone. This map was corrupted and had an expedition on it. Barely two minutes into the map I encountered my first rare. Upon what was supposed to be a killing/culling blow, the game froze. The latency kept growing and around 300K, I shut the game down.

The ESC menu surprisingly worked. I couldn't go to character selection, but the "Exit POE2" button did work and took me out of the game.

Upon re-entering the game less than 1 minute later, the map was closed (I believe considered a fail as all encounters were no longer present on the map).

9:11 PST (16:11 UTC). Lvl 71 Lich solo (+ minions)

This happened again in the same map. Same character. I made it to two bosses left.

I was unable to pull the ESC menu and the F1 menu. So I am unsure if it was 300k latency. So I am not sure if this is the same issue.

But on this note, if I could not be placed back into the center of the mobs when I rejoin after crashing, that would be appreciated.
