yes i still have the issue, have had it since first patch 3 days ago, thats 3 days i've been unable to login because i get to romulian splash screen then client crashes.
when is this going to be fixed? i'm missed out on lockbox key sale and also lobi daily's. not to mention it's annoying.
I just logged on and noticed that in the bottom left corner I see: "Material files reloaded" message. It happened after the loading screen, just as the characters loaded and then again when I selected a player to play.
I see it all the time, its a bug that was on tribble and got carried over with season 8. No word on a fix yet, but at least it doesn't seem to really break anything. Yet.
It happened to me last night, but the game still loaded correctly.
New home of the Romulan Republic.
I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
Yup, sent in a bug report on it and 10 other things going on. What is the point in testing on Tribble if they dont do any testing? This roll out is worse than the Romulan role out.
I've also been getting this message. Also, on a possibly related topic, upon loading up STO this morning, instead of going to the Select Character screen, I just get a blank white screen.

The Message itself isnt bad but the behaviour it triggers is...
For anyone whos saying i got it too, but it doesnt break anything.
For me the game just crashes....
i am also gettin the material files reloaded on the second loading screen i havent logged on game in 2 days it worked fine then but now not so fine. anyone know whats goin on?
Uninstall and reinstall does not get rid of this error! I already tried that. Are they giving anything to those who missed out because of Cryptic's errors?
This is just a display issue and should not affect your gameplay experience in anyway (other than seeing the notice often). We'll work on removing the notice you are seeing.

Well if I can't log in to the game because of this message, in my opinion is not just a display issue, and yes, it affects my gameplay obviously.
Have tried loading in safe mode, windowed mode, and fullscreen mode, still get the "Materials Files Reloaded" pop-up in the lower left corner and an immediate crash to desktop when the Character Select screen just starts to load.
Video drivers are up to date.
Same happened to me, even after the last patch, which someone told me it should have fixed it. I still can't log in to the game, it keeps crashing while loading the characters list and even sooner.
Please remove that notification.
It's immersion breaking, annoying and to be honest no one cares.

Unfortunately this does effect gameplay. A lot of players are crashing and there are other effects also which I will detail in a moment.
The actual display message itself is irrelevant.
My own problem is:
Game loads up fine then material files reloaded appears bottom left corner. manages to get to character selection screen, ( deffinitely loads faster than season 7 ) graphical glitches occur with the character - slow clothing.
After selecting a character the game loads as normal. at this point it does not matter wether you are in Sector space, DS9, Dyson Sphere or wherever, the game slows to a crawl, by that I mean it is like a picture slideshow. After about a minute the game works smoothly again.
This may just be an issue with certain types of graphic cards, so a tweak may fix this as it does not seem to be a universal problem. However it may be the root cause of crashing to desktop which some users have reported.
I will have a mess around with visual settings to see if I can find a solution.
Hopefully this will be sorted soon, otherwise my fleet will be receiving a huge boost to their Fleet Bank
well, dont know wether my particular problem ( freezing for a minute as soon as character screen loaded ) was caused by having the game set to compatibility mode for xp service pack 2. God knows when that box was ticked, possibly when the previous cryptic problem occurred .
Anyway, after the updte I just applied all errors are gone, no freezing, smooth graphics, the lag when running at speed has also gone.
Material files reloaded is still shown but it is of no consequence.
For those having problems turn off compatibility mode to see if it helps at all, you never know. ( right click the game Icon, select preferences and untick compatibility mode )
I thought that was normal on the game. Ive seen that message since i started playing months ago.. sometimes its ridiculous how much time the game takes to load some screens. Maybe is due to that?
IMO a message such as material files reloading is a clear sign of possible file loss and/or possible issue with a memory leakage, which may cause the client crash some have complained about. If the CPU/GPU is constantly having to reload the same files it should already have on tap than there is an issue that needs resolved. After all the major issue with most complaints from graphics problems currently spawned at the very first day S8 landed, and was also the day 1 for this message. Coincidence? You decide!

Actually, it's not constant... usually just once per map load.

You should check yourself, since this is a game issue, not a problem from the users. Maybe you have that msg as well, but u dont notice it. It does nothing to do with a problem with the pc.
The only thing i see really dumb is the need to wait sometimes 1 minute until the screen is loaded. In the year 2013, this is really annoying.
