an unexpected disconnection occurred in several league mechanics 100% recreatable

Since the release of the latest expansion "Secrets of the Atlas" the game is very unstable and everybody knows about it and you(the devs) previously explained that it is related to server issues/ddos attacks by dupers.

From my experience with 50+ hours in this league, I am getting the "an unexpected disconnection occurred" very often in most of the league mechanincs that I love and play, 100% crashes in some maps(not for the maps itself but only those mechaninc, I can still reenter the map without any "instance errors", until I lose all my portals if I try to interact with the remaining parts of these mechanics).

The leagues that I get the error with are:

ritual(some work just fine, others disconnect me instantly after I attack the first mob that spawns)

Alva(rarely, seemengly at random)

Heist(almost 100% of times in grand heists and 0 times in regual heists) and rarely.


I get 0 disconnects while running maps with things like Betrayal/Breach/Abyss/etc., even while "juicing" the maps/leagues a lot(especially comparted to the ones that I am getting the "an unexpected disconnection occurred" with)


If anybody from GGG sees this, please try to fix the game/EU servers, it is literally unplayable(if I get disconnected in a ritual I get almost 0 tribute from that map and loose the items I had differed from before, while if I get disconnected from Alva zone/Heist while the area is in lockdown it is an instant lose for the mechanic in that map/heist wing) with the mechanics that I explained above due to the way they work.


Two things that I can say that might help pin point the issue are that:

1 I am running a flicker strike build(which is known for desincronizing my position/having latency issues with the servers after certain attack speed brakepoints)

2 I have no network issues in other games/in general and my PC is more than capable of running both Path of Exile 1 and 2, having an Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 4070 Super, 32 GB RAM and a very fast 2TB SSD, leaving me to believe that everything that is causing the problem is server/clint sided(since even after reinstalling the game and trying different rendering methods and EU servers to connect to, things are the same).

Thank you for going through this report/rant if you did.

I concur with this sentiment.

I have a 7800x3D + 4070 TI. A 4.0 NVME at 7000 write speed, 1gb fibre internet, and a router that would shame most gamers.

I can download 100gb games faster than most people can make scrambled eggs on toast.

Yet with all the quality of my connection and hardware.

I dc more than a dozen times a day from path of exile. THIS LEAGUE.

My screen turns into an rave full of epileptic's having seizures, when too many monsters appear.

It's not us. It's them, and they are giving us the absolute bare minimum of information.

Not a good look, GGG.
