PC keeps "freezing"

I played fine until the last patch but since then I've been having a problem.

I'm fine until I start a mission with action. Every time I do the PC will lockup and then stays that way until I bring up task manager. Once I do then the game "un-freezes" and but then the mouse and the camera are locked together until I right click on the screen unlocking them.

Has anyone else had this problem and if they have how did they fix it. This is getting really annoying. :(

    Not had the lock up issue but " the mouse and the camera are locked together until I right click on the screen unlocking them." happens whenever I swap out of STO and back in.

    Is it worth reinstalling STO maybe, just to make sure nothing has its knickers in a twist?

    The mouse Lock-up is pretty much unsolveable. Without going too much into detail, it is somthing that happens because the game dosent register the "unclick", because you actually left the game window and re-entered it.

    Not quite as simple as that, but it basically covers it.

    Sounds like you might need to update your video card have you done that lately.

    I have two Nvidia 285 cards in SLI mode.

    Let me update the drivers and try. I thought I had the latest but mine are 280.26 and the newest one is 285.62. But did they make that much of a change that it hosed my game? I mean I also play on the test servers all the time and I don't have these issues. But I switched back to level one of my characters and this started.

    I would have thought I would have this problem on the test server and not exclusively on the live server.

    :confused:

    Are you able too Turn Off SLI mode on that video card i was looking around on my sites and it seems SLI mode can cause game crash and computer crash's as well Turn it off to see what happens.I don't see the point in having SLI mode.

    Well so far the new drivers are working. But wow, that doesn't make sense. The drivers I had were the ones that were released earlier this year.

    So far it is working so I'll wait and see how its going. :o

    Ok, found out what it is, and I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    It's the Featured missions. When I started doing some replays to get some items I found out that the Breen missions did it the most, but they all do it in some form.

    Is anyone else having this issue? I mean other missions are fine, but when I do the Breen missions I freeze and hang. :(

    Worst case I guess I could just never do them again.
