Maybe the windows compatibility troubleshooter would help (it did when I had that problem not too long ago). Also, it might be a good idea to make sure the game executable is whitelisted in your firewall and antivirus settings if you haven't already.
-
While throwing out the baby with the bath water like that is not exactly unknown, it is still more likely that they are shutting the NuTrek shows down at the end of five seasons for the age-old Hollywood reason that the profitability takes a sharp nosedive after the initial five-year contracts run out and they have to…
-
People use it a lot in the Halloween event to pull skeletons into the light where they are vulnerable, it does have that reddish cast to it.
-
If Photonic player-characters were (or would be) rejected I suspect it would be a CBS/Paramount/whatever-they-are-calling-themselves-this-week ban like they did with androids. They probably would ban synths as well if they could, but there is nothing model-wise to differentiate them from humans so all it takes is to say a…
-
It is probably from specularity, which is usually what is used to get a shiny or opalescent effect on mesh objects, though fullbright (usually used for things that need to have an unshadowed surface but don't need an actual light-giving glow) is another thing that could do it. There are a few other possibilities too,…
-
Another thing that used to cause problems (I think they may have fixed it, but I always assume the bug is still in effect just to be on the safe side) was that when you talk to S'tass you have to start with the Delta question first instead of just going down the list or you cannot get the Delta information from that…
-
I would like to see another rare Federation ship type that they have the model for already (since they used it for an April Fool's joke) is the Yeager class kitbash from DS9. Theoretically it could use the extra room in the large secondary hull to make a good tactical torpedo ship or carry some sort of auxiliary generators…
-
What part are you stuck on? I made a new Romulan delta a few days after the event started and it went smoothly.
-
I don't think that is the function of a control being mis-set, it seems more likely that it is part of the hugely disruptive bug that is preventing some 3D overlays from showing like the fires at the rocket stations in the current event, the Simon Says symbols in Sphere of Influence, the electrified floor panels in Dust to…
-
Shapeshifting is one of the few Suliban powers that you can actually do easily in the game. What most people seem to forget (or never knew because the game is really bad at explaining things) is that you can change the character's whole look in the outfits slots, (including the body and face, which is quite versatile if…
-
Yridians are already in the game as adversaries, they are also nothing new in general since they more or less have the same "capitalism run amok" function as the Ferengi, only based in Beta quadrant instead of Alpha quadrant. They would probably flop hard as player characters considering the relatively few Ferengi PCs seen…
-
Red did it to me almost every time I left to get parts, and the fire was invisible every time. Also, magenta does it too.
-
How could they be running out of ideas? While LD is considerably denser idea-wise than the rest of NuTrek (though SNW is close) they still only do a few shows a season. And DSC only ran ONE plot per season (except for season one where they ran three, two intertwined and the third was the extra episodes added as damage…
-
Technically (iirc), that tab was meant only for the sixth level stuff that only a few premium ships have so far. The devs were talking in one of the old Ten Forwards about working on a system to make setting up a new ship more automatic which would mostly solve the problem, but there has been no sign of progress on that so…
-
Even when you cap out at 65 there is a progression of sorts via endeavors and skill specializations, so skills and abilities keep going up for a while even though you stay at the lvl 65 cap, and that is F2P just like the leveling part is.
-
Yes, though it might take a while. I have several captains who use the T5 versions as their main ship and I have been one of the people who have asked for T6 version for years.
-
It has been happening more often than not to me too, no flames or fire extinguisher discharge visually (though it makes the sound). The pile fires are still visible though.
-
True, I have heard that a lot of people use it as their default launcher without problems. The reason it did not work for me way back when doesn't have any bearing on anything recent, it turned out that when they launched Age of Discovery it broke something that kept a lot of the Steam installs from working and I had to…
-
I tend to gravitate towards destroyers and science spearheads like the original Crossfield since I like their flexibility and I tend to have a hybrid science-tac style anyway. I think the Crossfield spearhead is a great ship for instance. What I don't like is how most ships like that get walled away in gamble boxes.
-
If you are getting a black screen with (or without) the little wait spinny and nothing else there is the old standby kludge where you use the Windows Task Manager to kill the game and launcher then immediately start it back up from the regular startup icon again. That usually works right off, but occasionally it takes…
-
There were Romulans and Reman who just wanted to be left alone too, the fact that the Suliban in the Helix wanted to be left alone does not mean all of them everywhere did as well. Besides, a PC Suliban would already be on Virinat at the start of the tutorial so obviously they would not be one of the isolationists.
-
Sphere of Influence, but if it is a visual puzzle or floor trap that is broken in A Step Between Stars there is a chance that whatever they did to fix the other two might fix that one too.
-
True, just looking around in social areas shows that the majority of players prefer the more human-looking types, followed by a relatively small number of Gorn, and Ferengi, then wild 'bem' style types, then lastly by the occasional non-human-looking canon species. Space Barbie is a major factor in STO, and the less human…
-
The patch seemed to come down ok those servers are probably good, and the little green light in the launcher is on, but the game says it cannot find the servers. Anyone else having this problem?
-
After the patch today I could not log on with the regular STO icon either. Oddly, the .exe way of launching didn't work either, but when I tried the old generic ARC launcher and went through the old-style pick the game/launch the game method it worked.
-
I finally got in too, though I had to use the arc desktop icon and do the oldschool pick the game/launch thing from there instead of just using the usual STO icon itself. No idea why that worked when the regular way didn't.
-
Unfortunately, the patch seems to have broken the game for me since after patching it can no longer find the game servers.
-
Attempting to redefine the term "offense" into something it isn't does not have any effect on the logic of the situation. If anyone is taking offence it is you who are doing so. You are right in that the Dominion is very set in their ways, in the show they have a rigid cast system, which the "Jem'Hadar faction" ignores…
-
You are drawing some pretty weird conclusions here. If you actually read what I said instead of just seeing the word "genderlock" and assuming from there, you would see that I never said anything about victimization or discrimination. What I said was simply that according to industry statistics, genderlocking is the number…
-
I was wondering if they would have the Delta recruitment here in its usual spot or swap it with one of the later ones because at least two of the later missions in the tesseract transceiver's list of special things to do are blocked by mission-breaking bugs, and the announcement answers that question :lol:. Hopefully they…
