A sequel to the game Path of Exile is out now and players are already enjoying the latest action role-playing game PoE 2. However, many players report several bugs and errors with the game including the “Failed to join any instances” error. This specific error is reported in both the early access and the original game. At the time of writing this guide, the developers have not yet released any statement on this error but thankfully, there are a few temporary solutions you can try. Check out this guide, we have covered all potential methods to resolve it.
How to Fix Path of Exile 2 Failed to Join Any Instances Error
There are several steps you can take to fix the “Failed to join any instances” error in Path of Exile 2. Go through all steps one by one and comment below which particular method has worked for you.
1. Retry Logging In or Restarting the Game
Some players have managed to resolve this error simply by logging in to the game or restarting the game. Players in Early Access have noted that this issue often resolves itself after a while. At the moment, we have not come across any official solution but you can try this simple trick to fix this error until the developers fix it permanently.
2. Switch Servers
If the error continues, try switching to a different server. However, it is important to note that this workaround might result in higher ping or extended queue times that depend on the server you select.
3. Do not Use Town Portals; Use Waypoints Instead
To minimize the possibility of this error in the future, you can play the game in a more strategic manner. Instead of using town portals to travel, try using only waypoints to move places. This will not allow you to re-enter immediately into the game, but it might reduce the probability of getting disconnected or dropped from the server in the long run. This preventive measure might help you stay on the server and avoid disruption in the game.
4. Reinstallation of Game
Have you tried all of the above solutions and still getting the same error? Then, the last resort is to uninstall the game and reinstall its latest version. This will also ensure to fix any corrupted game files.
Unfortunately, these are the only things you can try to fix the “Failed to join any instances” error in PoE 2 because it is mainly a server-based error.
