Gameclient.exe has stopped working

babahanz1

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

To be clear, this is not an issue with the launcher. I can get to the character select screen, and even log a character in. It takes, on average, 5 minutes to get this, though I have had this error occur within 1 second of logging in, or as long as two hours of game play.

I have updated my graphics drivers (gtx 460), force verified filed, uninstalled and re-downloaded and re-installed the game, and I am now out of options. The first time this error occurred was after logging in after the April 18 patch.

Does anyone know what is causing this issue and/or know how to remedy this?

The only other programs I usually run in the background are teamspeak and firefox. I have played since season 2 and this the first time I have ever experienced this or any other issue.

I play in windowed mode (maybe this is an issue?). What is funny is I can alt-tab out of STO and let it sit indefinitely, and not get the crash. It only happens when I am trying to actually play.

It also isn't related to windowed mode (still get this in full screen) and it isn't related to graphics setting (no change between max and min settings).

I have not been able to play the game for 2 weeks now because of this stupid "Game client.exe has stopped working" nonsense. In my case after the log in screen as soon as the game starts loading, this message pops up. I have tried everything including uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but still having the same problem. Cryptic as usual gives a 1 page long generic answer to the ticket without any help.

I have been getting this too, seems since LoR launched. But I'm not entirely sure.

I get it in varying degrees and different scenarios.

Most of the time, it crashes, either to desktop, Out_of_mem error, or just stops responding whenever my character enters the new Romulus staging area. and when I mean any character I mean any. I have Fed, Rom doesn't matter.

What I do notice is this, ever since this started happening, I decided to open Task Manager on my second display, and have the Performance tab open. Whenever I enter the staging area map, I see a 500MB+ increase in memory use.

Only one other map does this, Defera Invasion zone.

But recently, within the last 3 weeks or so, I have been crashing out at ESD. Especially after coming out of a queued PvE event.

I have this too, but only maybe once a day at random times.

I think the biggest annoyance is it takes down the whole program and somehow sneaks around cryptic's error checker so a ticket and dump are never made from the crash.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I have made absolutely no changes to my system and I keep getting this error. I have restarted my computer, uninstalled the game, ended all programs running simultaneously, and no progress has been made. I cannot get passed the Cryptic load screen.

I played this last night just fine and went to go play it tonight and this message pops up no matter what I do. I haven't received any support for this.

i am new to STO, have been playing for only about 3 weeks and unfortunately have not been able to play for the last couple days due to "Gameclient stopped working" error. have looked up the forums on steam and arc and have had no luck getting help with either. was wondering if you would address this for us because many people seem to be having the same issue. what can we do to fix this?
Sincerely,
Tovan Mackelly
