    I have been having MASSIVE issues with crashing due to corrupt game files, I have been sending tons of Error reports and posted them on the forums but I have been ignored with no response for a solution, I have deleted my entire game install and reinstalled with forced full patches several times, shut down all other programs that run in background unhooked all devices that I don't need and each time I get the same corrupted game install, the game was running smoothly before beta testing. I NEED some answers!

    I have been trying to get it to run smooth again for over 24 hours with very little sleep, I'm on a built by me from dell Parts "XPS 410" It isn't the best computer but it gets the job done till I can replace my gaming rig that died quickly in its sleep of old age.

    Now why have I been Ignored I surely am not the only one with an older low performance machine:(

    That is probably your problem right there. Doing a google search, Windows 7 Black Edition is a modified pirated copy of Windows. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-desktop/is-windows-black-edition-real/8af9e152-06d9-4bde-8b32-5edb54ab3a58

    lmao, it is if you don't use your real key, anyways Game ran smooth before the Beta testing

    And no, Mine didnt come with nasty stuff included, you can make a "black addition" yourself with the real disk...win xp, vista, 7 , 8 all can be modified, so I really doubt it is my os.

    Well it is possible that your issue isn't related to your pirated version of windows. However when asking for support... I would suggest you not say black addition and just instead give the version number. lol

    There is of course a very real possibility that if YOU did not make your Black Version with your own purchased copy of Windows. That you do infact have some very funky stuff going on under the hood that is causing you issues.

    If I wanted to make a Seemingly cleen version of windows for you that was in fact sending me ALL YOUR info in ways you would likely never detect... you would be none the wiser. In fact if you downloaded your version from someone else... the chances of your version doing just that is 70 / 30. ;) lol

    And that would be easy to detect Just look at programs using the network and the usage and where it is sending it...black addition is made the same way you can make tiny 7 and you do not have to add in any of the pirating tools you can allow it to use your key for activation the same way it did originally, all your doing is adding stuff or taking stuff out of the OS before installation...Linux guys do this all the time....saves time and space, I do not use a disk drive and my install is condensed to fit on an 8gb sd card...This is all beside the point!

    It WAS working, Now its not...Corrupt piggies not corrupt OS. I'm not a n00b thanks.

    I hope we can in time advance our romulan characters above the 21nd level, without the need to start a new one from scratch.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Are you using Steam? if this next download and install patch round doesn't work I'm going to try downloading direct from STO website

    Only thing I can think of is delete everything, wipe all traces of STO off your PC and start with a fresh install...Its times like this when I am glad all player info is saved on the server side.
    Also post up some specs and error codes if you can, once people like us finally get some attention those might come in handy.

    I am not using Steam. My issues started with tonight's Patch.

    Running:
    Win XP SP3 (Believe Currently patched)
    Core 2Duo 6600
    NVidia GeForce GTS 450 (Believe Current Drivers)
    2GB Ram

    I sure as hell am not gonna do a clean install just for this. It was something the launcher did in updating today's patch that did this.

    Thank you for the time...

    Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
    • Full, Story-driven, select from start 1-50 Klingon Side
    • Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable
    • Expand Dil and Rep/Fleet Marks to regular story content

    Well on my ATI Mobility Radoen 5650, the frame rate is fine but inside the Romulan Foltilla I get second long pauses while walking down a coridor e.g., framerate stabalizer fixes it but also drops my fps by a bit (in the area I am in now by 2fps, which isn't that much but it is a tad annoying), I also have an SSD so its nothing to do with data streaming issues. Also I don't mind it since its a contact, but when I am in D'tans office and when I open the contact window my fps drops by 5. Also I run usually at about 20-30fps, so that might help since I am not using ms as a measurement.

    Rather than Edit one of my older posts, I'll update my issues.
    Managed to rename the GameClient.Exe.deleteme file and Cut/paste it to a different Directory and then delete it. I was able to get the Tribble build running properly.

    After looking at Explorer I see now two of these deleteme files. I'll have to wait and see what happens with the next patch to Tribble.

    Thank you for the time...

    just wondering, are the romulan tutorials and episodes going to get voice overs like the fed ones?

    i know not all missions have them, but the tutorials and features all seem too, and now that im playing a rommie and they dont have any voice work, i really miss hearing it.

    btw love the content so far, purchased the legendary legacy pack to tack on to my lifetime sub.

    after 3 long grueling arduous years, i shall finally have my D'deridex, with singularty cannon!

    so far 1 gripe I have is.... the text on the cut scene story stuff. seemed to vanish well before I got a chance to finish reading it and since there was no voice over. that's kinda important.

    it was very quick for me on the starting planet. maybe i'm a much slower reader than I ever thought :(

    otherwise I've been having some fun playing the rom missions

    I think that they will be adding VO later when the XP launches, they didn't include the VO during the beta to save on Download size.

    [*]Replay mission rewards have been scaled for Romulans to match current replay rewards with the Federation and KDF.

    I have bug reported oddnessess* in replay rewards between my Fed and KDF charecters before without seeing any changes. Any chance this fix that as well?

    *max level on both sides doing story missions, the Fed version of the mission rewards Mk XI (11) gear, the KDF version rewards Mk X (10) gear.

    I would like to point out that the new contacts/talk to window text gets cut off at the top and left when you have UI scaling set to anything less than 0.8. <- This is important to me getting fixed, so I might try and post somewhere else if there is no feedback. :D

    can we go back to the tutorial area after we played the tutorial?

    if not they have to fix that...its an amazing map to be wasted on a tutorial.

    Now why have I been Ignored I surely am not the only one with an older low performance machine:(

    This version has my modem in a uproar, every time I try to connect to the login server my modem just shuts down.

    It could be that everybody and their brother are trying to get into the game and that is mucking me up, but I'm not sure.

    I've tested and retested my connection and have done several complete scans of my hard-drive, but that all tells me is that things are fine.

    I'll have to see if the next patch corrects anything.

    Hey Zero, I'm not sure what's causing it (and I don't know if it's been posted before), but some of the FX isn't showing up:

    The Fire Extinguisher (it works perfectly well on the fires, and the spraying animation for the character works, but the actual spray isn't visible)
    Mine Explosions (Regular ones at least. They deal damage perfectly well, but the actual explosion FX doesn't happen... the mines just disappear)
    'What Lies Beneath' Flashlight (It clicks on and off in the UI, but the actual illumination has vanished. It makes the mission slightly harder, but not impossible)

    My Tribble settings are half-resolution, and fairly low to handle things smoothly. My actual computer is a few years old, but it runs well.

    And Edit, I know this probably belongs in the Bug Report section, but I wanted to make sure it got dev attention :)

    UI:
    • Traits:
      • Clicking on the traits buttons should no longer occasionally cause the game client to crash.
      • Trait respec is now working as intended.
    • Resolved an issue which sometimes caused the incorrect character to log in.
    [/QUOTE]


    Zero,

    4/19 patch

    I noticed we went from 9 trait slots to 8 on my Liberated Borg Character, also we had three standard traits and now Efficient Captain was gone from the list, I did note a blurb about how the Borg were efficient, but no trait to reflect that.

    Thank you.

    From what I've read voiceovers are in the works, Denise Crosby is doing Sela and I expect she will sound positively psychotic messiing with your head in mind games.

    Some of the starting BOs are story BOs and are part of your ongoing story, they are... well unique characters, ad least that how seems when you do the stories.

    You actually use the flashlights? They never helped me to see things. Just put a spot of white on the screen and made it harder for me.
