Issues with the Patch 9/20/12

The game has been playing fine all this time until the most recent patch. You can't tell me that its my computer because this is the only game it does it with. After minutes of patching and firing up the game. I have crashed 3 times and one with looping sound. I'm not one to complain about patches because its mostly in game issues and i deal with it. But when I am unable to play the game due to a recent patch I'm gonna say something about it. As a lifetime customer and spending the money that I did I would like to be able to play the game when I want.

So am I the only one having this issue or is it just me. System stability tests come back fine and HDD is okay. :(

    I've been crashing all day after today's patch. The game just skipped a frame, then froze. Occasionally I could still hear sounds, sometimes it would get stuck looping the sound.

    Crashed 3 times running Ground Cure (That's a long run after each crash!)
    Crashed twice in fleet missions.
    And now I just crashed again, this time I couldn't even CTRL+ALT+DEL out of the game.
    I had to disconnect power to my PC.

    When this game first came out, there was so much hype. I bought the collector's edition, and remember being just as excited as the developers. Now it's like they don't even care. Gimmicks like "lockboxes", and ZEN... What did I come back to? They've bastardized my STO!

    Well I've had two BSODs both IRQL stop codes so it definately is something wrong with the game. It sounds like its not playing with the drivers well. Gonna update to the new nvidia 306.23 drivers will see if that helps.

    1. try to run the game in safemode - this might actually work
    2. if 1. doesnt work, reinstall game

    in the past, there were 3 updates or so which prevented me from even starting the game. option 1 however worked always. problem is, it doesnt save graphic settings and i have to set up everything every time i login again so i tried option 2 after some time and everything seemed to work again.
    What ? Calaway.

    Same issue with me. Was working fine until this "patch", which seemed to break more things than it fixed. Tried logging in Safe Mode, same issue. I should not have to reinstall the game that they broke with this patch, since the issue is the patch itself, and not my program or system.

    Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.

    My new mainboard came with an AR8151 onboard nic and the drivers. However, I too had the problem of logging into the game, it taking forever to load and my ship not moving. For those that have a nick that is identified as an AR8131, or AR8151, drivers from this year are available here: http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/corporate/content.php?nav1=146

    It corrected the problem for me.
