Transfer Aborted: Instance not Found

Already reported it in Tech Support, but is there any word on this? There are people all over failing to get into instances. Been happening for over an hour now. Falling to your death while on a flight path is funny once, but beyond that… haha.

Log out and stay off that character for 15mins+. Try turning off/on Warmode?

“Transfer aborted. Instance not found” is a sign of a connection issue between the regular servers and the instance servers. You may need to wait a bit to try again.

That is not likely to affect issues connecting to the instance server.

It’s happening on every alt I log into. The first instance was on my hunter. Ran Dragon Soul and Ulduar. Portals failing, etc.

Switched to my rogue: same thing. Constant Instance aborts and falling off flight path.

Now I’m on my paladin and I just fell to my death flying to Ulduar again.

It’s going on 2 hours now with this so I was just wondering if it was a known issue with Blizz. No worries. It’ll sort itself out eventually I’m sure.

This is the only report I’ve seen so far, this could be a connectivity issue - the failing to your death thing is another symptom of that, zoning between areas. You do that all the time it’s just pretty transparent and you don’t notice it - unless you don’t transfer.

It’s happening to my daughter as well. I’m going to experiment with removing all addons and see if that helps.

Edit: removed all addons to stock install and deleted my cache. Still happening. At this point, I don’t know what is causing it.

Still not a full UI reset gota delete cache/interface/WTF if its a corrupted UI.

I did that. Hence the comment about the stock UI. All addons were removed. Not disabled.

Removing the addons still wont fix issue Its not that difficult removing them is fine you can always copy and paste them back but its still important to do a full UI reset.

is there anything on the backend about this issue, still experiencing this 9 hours later and have lost 150 rating in 3s from transfers aborted

Removing as in… renaming wtf and interface folders. I didn’t disable the addons. I totally removed them from the game installation via renaming. The introductory cinematic played. There were no addons running. The cache was deleted.

Anyway, regardless, it’s still happening at this moment. I just failed in hearthstoning to Boralus.

You need to either rename or delete the interface and wtf folders. Just deleting the cache isn’t enough.

Tin, can we get a realm name?

And that is what I did, as I stated above several times. Full UI reset is my goto for many issues and it works beautifully.

The main server is Doomhammer, but also happening on Baelgun and Illidan. The other person having this issue is on yet another different server from me. We’re both on Telus Internet in Canada. Tech already has us running WinMTRs.

Glad to hear it. We usually redirect these topics over to the Technical Support section so the tech team can start tracking reports, looking for trends, and troubleshooting. It sounds like they’re on the case :slight_smile:

I’m having the same issue right now with Nathria.

If you’ve already given the stuck character service a try and it didn’t work, you’ll want to stay logged off that character for 15-30 minutes so the server can recognize you aren’t online anymore and move you to a safer location.

Locking the thread as it resurrected from the dead.

As Ekon mentioned, Cleffo, try the stuck character service. The service moves the character to a location where you can log into it.

With that said, in the future, please create your own thread rather than resurrecting one from 4 months ago. :slight_smile:
