Keyes Trial Troubles

I just crashed halfway through the trial.

When I logged back on I tried to rejoin the trial. It failed and said:

"Error: Instance could not be found. It may have been completed or abandoned."

The trial was still going on, however.

Other people on my league had experienced the same thing before I crashed, and other people in the RWZ reported the same thing happening on other leagues and trials.

I could accept the constant crashing every 30-60 minutes (the shorter period during trials) as long as I had a chance to rejoin and continue playing but now it seems I will never be able to finish a Keyes trial. The hordes of enemies and the intricate maps eat memory even faster than the BAF and Lambda and I will probably never be able to finish a Keyes without crashing. If I then can't rejoin I won't be able to ever get the rewards.

League leaders can now invite people to the league even when an event is in progress. Did they try inviting you to the in-progress event?

They didn't as far as I know. I PMd the leader to let them know I couldn't rejoin but I didn't get a reply. I'll try that next time.

I've done two Keyes since server resets.....one successful, the other not.

I'm on a Mac COH client, which is buggy as hell and prone to crash 2-3 times per hour for a variety of issues. But Keyes wasn't laggy for me at all in either run. By comparison, I did a 24-man BAF right after the second Keyes and it was VERY laggy.

So I don't think its necessarily the new map for Keyes. Could be a host of other issues.

My computer is just about 18 months old and can handle everything else in the game except the trials without difficulty; if I don't go on a trial I can play for several hours without crashing, if I don't switch characters or change zones too often. And all other games I've got work just fine.

Keyes wasn't particularly laggy for me but we did have some mapserving going on. I blamed the map because it seemed a bit larger and busier than the BAF and Lambda.

Just tried to join a league and couldn't even get an invite, it said that I was already in Queue and wasn't. Tried everything from zoning to logging nothing worked.
Looks like another fine bug filled launch. 7 years and you can always count on that

The same thing happened to me. CTD'd halfway through Keyes and couldn't rejoin. Trouble is I regularly CTD during trials (not so much on Lambdas). If I'm unable to get back in to finish, I'm gonna have to find some other way to get Emp merits ...oh wait, there is no other way!

Hey all,

Thank you for all your reports. We're aware of this issue, and are actively working on a solution. Thank you for your patience!

I'm not at all fond of this trial, its cluttered, extremely laggy & crashes out more than it loads in.

The specifics of the crash out is that it doesn't crash during the trial, mapserve, or boot you from the game, on several occasions it jumps you from loading screen to loading screen, eventually leaving you standing in the zone you queue'd from & off the team/league.

As for the lag most times less than 2 f.p.s. , which raises a question, what are the recommended minimum specs for coh now if one plans to run on trials & raids?

i did read earlier today that people have said "closed" leagues could be rejoined and i can confirm that tonight.

tuesday on open league i was unable to join, tonight in closed i could, might have been a fluke but maybe worth doing until fixed so at least people can get back in?

maybe someone else can confirm if this is the case?
