[investigating] Game Crashes when opening keys

Platform, device version and operating system:

Nintendo Switch

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
I was trying to open gold keys, and my game crashed. This happens after about 5 to 10 instances of opening 200 gold keys at a time, and it happens with other types of keys as well (glory, gem, etc.)

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
This happens all the time now, ever since the fix to the Library pass. I did not have this issue when Astral Spire was released or any other time before that.

Steps to make it happen again
Open up keys of the highest quantity, multiple times, and after doing this for about 5 to 10 times, the game will crash.(200 gold keys, 200 glory keys, 200 gem keys, etc.)

@Jeto I know this is not your fault, but this is very irritating to say the least. This issue also happens when you are scrolling through your troops. Maybe it has something to do with the troops not rendering or processing their artwork properly? Or maybe we just have too many troops now?:rofl:

Same before month with gem keys! I also submitted a ticket! But apparently everything is normal!

As soon as you open a chest, the data is sent instantly to your account - so even if you dont watch the animation, all your items have already been recieved.

This error you have is a Switch specific error and not necessarily caused by something in-game.. is it happening consistently?

Yeah. It’s happening consistently whenever I am opening chests or scrolling through troops. Based on my own experience, you have about a minute or so of opening chests or scrolling through troops, and then the game crashes.

I also play on Switch but have not encountered this error – or ANY crash since the latest update. Instead, I get two (non-fatal) system error messages over a daily reset, then an indefinite hang when attempting to do certain actions (usually minor Gem purchases like a Daily Offer), and in my case the action was simply never sent/processed at all (upon restarting the game, I still have my Gems and the next attempt at that offer succeeds quickly).

This game just feels…unstable on Switch. There are bound to be other issues, and I will try to capture video or screenshots if I can.

team the team are checking your account data in case its specific to something running causing an error

Thank you, Jeto. Community Manager MVP.:+1:

I did not know if this issue was specific to just me or everybody. When I used to get cliffy errors, I knew that was directly related to my account, but I have never encountered my most recent issue.
