    It is definitely something in this last patch. It wasn't doing this before shutdown.

    EDIT: This makes the game unplayable!!!

    Both I and my friend are having the same issue here since updating with this patch too. And like the others I was in this morning and this was not an issue prior to the logoff and the patch.

    As asked:

    System

    Dell

    windows 7

    Nvidia GeForce 7050/ Nvidia N/Force 620i (is what the device manager says)


    Hope this report helps get this fixed.

    Same stuff happens to me. Luckily, doesn't seem to translate to ground maps and system areas, so I guess I can still play STfs and SP missions without danger of getting epilepsy attacks. Hope it gets fixed soon though. :D

    Edit: happens in planetary system areas too.

    Season eight is a mess. Game played fine before the release but after it crashed like every ten minutes. Then it wouldn't even start. I reinstalled arc and sto and it worked fine again. Log on today patch up and feel like I'm tripping on the Klingon version of acid. The graphics blend together into complete madness. Way to go cryptic. Bravo!

    Same here, but not on all toons. switching to old school dx9 seemed to solve it though.

    I'm one of the luck ones it seems, wasn't hit by the previous bug not hit by this one either.
    But I certainly understand your frustration.

    I'm fine in space. Ground though....zomg

    At least you are able to log in and aren't still having the program enter an endless "not responding" upon trying to load the game. I have been crashing to the desktop since last Friday, and the new patch did nothing to fix it

    I noticed a lot of flickering in maps when doing exploration missions and when landing on a planet the face of my team changes color to a dark bright blue for everybody.

    Yup, unfortunately I'm experiencing this as well. Combined with previous week's graphic glitch posted in >THIS THREAD<, the vaporizing of consumables and the broken state of the exchange, STO has become basically unplayable for me.

    Good grief Cryptic, please do something.

    The randomly changing hue and brightness in Eta Eridani was the most visually appealing (In that stoned/boozed to the gills way), but have effects like the duplication happen on the Axon and on Drozana station and ESD.

    Some of ot looks kind of...aesthetically pleasing (I'ma lighting designer in RL), but it does make it rather difficult to play.

    Same problem here, last 5 tries.

    Switching to safe mode in the launcher options seems to have worked for now. We'll see how long that lasts...

    Having same issue

    First, I noticed that turning my graphics back UP to "recommended" (I ran them lower for FPS) stopped that.

    Second, I also noticed it would come and go while I was playing with my shadows under options. If I open it - I get hit - if I choose anything, it stops.

    I have no idea if that is related, but maybe it will help the devs narrow it down.

    Having the same problem, makes the game largely unplayable, in fact, headache inducing...

    played game for two hours before the patch no problems, now can't play. Devs apply patch to fix graphic card problems for some and make the game unplayable for others. Do these guys work for the government? :mad:

    Hasn't ne one notice that never winter and all the other's work fine just sto is having these problems it isn't right...... they are letting sto linger to bleed it out of some more cash that all I think sto is dyeing hence why they haven't brung down server's yet I now last year if they were having this level of play abilitie issue's they would have.... free to play is killing sto. We pimp star trek out to devs that don't give two craps over it. And with most player's in sto that brag they never spend ne money congrats u are killing one the best games ever....... brag some more on how cheap u are and watch sto listen

    Okay, I'm highly ticked. Logged on after the patch and now any space environment I try to fly in is a flaring mess, turning bright white and duplicating everything in the environment like a bad acid trip. If I wanted a bad acid trip, I would have done acid.

    Hope this is going to get fixed VERY SOON because it is unplayable as is.

    Its flashing to me as well, and on ground too! :mad:

    HOT FIX NEEDED NOW!!
    REVERSE CHANGES MADE IN LATEST PATCH!

    S.T.O. is unplayable, driver update does nothing. All other games work fine. Glad I'm not the only one effected by this.


    PS. Fix my stack of devices from vaporizing on from my skill tray on use..
