Transfer Aborted: Instance not found

I will start with I have read and tried all the fixes that blizzard gives on the topic, reset user interface, all addons are deleted and I have uninstalled and reinstalled both wow and battle.net none have worked. My fps stays high 40s to 60(the max I have set). My latency during these issues has never been above 200(low 100s the average). I can play the game all day with no issue If I never leave the current zone I am in as well. The problem is when I change zones or use a portal or any form of a loading screen. The screen will refuse to load and I get to sit and wait till it boots me back. If I fly into a different zone I will get dismounted mid air. Sometimes even when I try to enter world on a character this happens and I get a “World server down” message. I am at my wits end because the game has become all but unplayable. Getting a actual person on a ticket is like pulling teeth so this is my last resort. I will add that I am on a US server(Sentinels).

Hey Kyle! Thanks for reaching out with that information. Since the steps you’ve already tried have had no impact on the issue, there is a good chance that these problems are network-related. Be sure to try power cycling your network devices (modem & router) with these instructions.

If you continue to see that error, in order to clear out any corrupted or stagnate data, we will want to do a DNS flush.

If you continue to get the error, let’s have you run a WinMTR network test while the error happens in-game so that we can further investigate the problem. Here are the instructions:

  1. Download the tool from this page
  2. Enter the IP “24.105.30.129” into the “host” field.
  3. Start the test and play the game for at least 15 minutes. Try to reproduce the problem so that it happens while the winMTR tool is running.
  4. After recording the problem data, click “export text” and save the winMTR file in an easy to find location.
  5. Once you have that made, open the file. You’ll need to copy and paste the contents of the Text document into the post, and put four Tilde (~) marks above the winMTR. It’ll look like this:
WinMTR goes here

If you have issues pasting here, please use Pastebin and post the link (ex: Pastebin (dot) com/123456).

Downloaded WinMTR for future use If needed but I seemed to be able to find the solution on my own last night. Turned out to be rather simple, I turned off and back on Browser hardware acceleration in the battle.net settings. Everything seems to be running fine once again in the game.
