Ever since one of the recent patches I have not felt like playing STO because my graphics have been completely messed up.

Like this:

This happens when using powers such as Emergency Power to Aux and any other power with "hull effects".
Even my Borg set Regen special is totally wierd now and does not animate properly anymore.

Its intolerable and i have not logged on to STO for over a week now because of it.
Do you have CO installed at all? I recognize the effect. It could be maybe a config setting or leftover code from the CO update is now in STO?!? Not entirely sure but I have seen that effect before in CO since their last update.
Just for that reason I hope they dont fix it lol jk
