The Incarnate trials do seem to have gotten laggier recently.
I usually have no real problems with lag, but recently I've found myself having to wait a few moments before powers activate, usually as escapees run past on a B.A.F. trial, though the last trial I did (Keyes Island, which I'm amazed we won) did run reasonably smoothly after I'd dropped the graphics a bit.
I'd give it another shot at some stage, maybe with a reduction in graphics or a router reset before hand
So how do you want to be done? Medium, Well or Extra Crispy?

Perhaps you should try posting in the technical issues section of the forums to see if you can get any help for the crashing.

You may be able to handle a team of 8 but are you able to handle a team of 16 or 24?
I usually play with everything nearly maxxed out and with hardly any lag but for trials I have to drop the graphics down to performance level or I can't even load. I don't mind that so much though because I've always had to do that for Rikti Mothership and Hamidon raids anyway. Maybe you should try lowering graphics? It's not like there's much to look at during raids.

Last night, after putting it off as long as was superhumanly possible, I finally caved in, and I went on a Lambda. One quick teleport to Pocket D and all of a sudden there are 15 other eager supers ready to go and stick it to Marauder. The cameraderie, the neon lights, the ambiance. We're ready!
Some banter aside where I am referred to as a virgin etc... and we finally just, poof, into Lambda. We didn't speak to a contact, we just literally went whoosh. Straight there. Ok, no problem, I'm now stood in Praetoria, I got to run forward, I can't move!??! What's this!?! Some sort of evil holding powers? Some kind of invisible grip!? I check unyielding is turned on, it is, why aren't I moving!? Suddenly, the group I am looking at is defeated, and I haven't budged from the very spot I was standing on.
Alright, its supposed to be laggy, and it has been known to choke computers. I'm on a 30 meg internet connection, I have a computer which in the past has effortlessly ran COH on maximum settings ITF's 8 man teams, whatever... this is my first lambda blast you and the people who know what to do, I can't even watch them to learn, because its like looking at a powerpoint slideshow here!
FREAK OUT!!
Return to the computer, ok, lets try again. Ok, I find a heavy commander, yes!!! I got to punch him. I see myself take a hit, the screen freezes. Its a little ambush there are things coming from behind... freezes again. I can't move, can't punch, can't even type messages to my fellow heroes. Screen unfreezes. Oh, I'm dead on the floor, and there are now Seers hovering about. Where did they come from? I didn't see them.
Woe is me. Freak out part 2.
Return to the computer, wakey. Where did everybody go? I dunno. Message is go down the elevator. What elevator, where?! Somebody TP's me, I end up somewhere else, and there is a massive warwlaker stomping up behind me when I rematerialise. Oh hell, time for a Knockout blow!! Freezes... can't move. Oh crap.
Mapserver!! FREAK OUT PART 3!!!!!!!!!
Reconnect. I am now back in pocket D. Right, what the hell do I do now!? Click on LFG, ah yes, there is a button there to take me back... do I really WANT to go back!? Long pause to deliberate... I almost grudingly, reluctantly, go back. I reappear in the Lambda sector, dazed and confused. Not my character, me! I take a super leap back to the main courtyard I freeze in midair, I figured at this point, if I could rotate the camera, this'd be VERY Matrix like, but, I can't actually rotate anything. NExt thing I know I'm back on the floor. I have no idea where I landed, or what my final button pushing did to alter my destination.
Next thing, mission complete choose a reward. Ok, I didn't even get to see Marauder, much less punch him in the face. I didn't kill anything. I felt totally useless to the whole group, no strike that, worse than useless.
I'm not trying to complain just trying to voice my experience in a reasonably tongue in cheek way. But hands down, that lambda was THE WORST experience I have had with City of Heroes, since I began playing almost a year ago.
