It just happened at random while playing Purity VI. For example, the last and the second to the last map are the exact same map, but the first time looked like screens and the second time did not. Either the map loads and plays fine, or all the textures seem to be missing.
I also experience the crazy, what's the word, "spreading" of sector space like my mouse is applying jam.
I am having the same issue with the graphics both in space and on away missions. I have a brand new C55-A that does not have any other graphic related issues when playing other games or the Toshiba Media Player or Windows Media Player.
So its obvious that since there is a wide range of GPU's being effected that the problem does not reside with the End User.
My guess is it was introduced when they went live with support for mac, breaking existing windows graphics modes, as I learned that Mac display values are much dimmer and therefore need brighter settings, but windows translates these changes into overbrightness, blinding out some images altogether.
Hm... would that explain why earth and esd look like this during a Foundry mission?
The fix steps did eliminate the issue (yyyaaaaa no more psychodelic visuals) but now my game runs slower especially in maps with lots of different movement (ESD)
While I noticed a few others had also mentioned this, here is the fix to the weird Season 8 glitch that worked for me:
Options>Video>Video Card>If it says anything other than AUTO(very likely)change to AUTO.>then log completely out of game and sign back in>Fixed. Ingnore restart computer thing, not needed.
there seem to be a lot of players effected by these graphics bugs, I had the one where all the textures were missing early on now I seem to get an effect like stop-frame photography where you get multiple overlapping images quite a lot.
lets hope they fix it soon.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

Hope this helps more people.
Initially tried this myself, before checking the forums, and it didn't work....
Left it on Auto, totally quit out of the game again, checked the forums(this thread), went back in and enabled Post-Processing; problem solved, but I -have- noticed an ever so slight drop-off in performance...not enough to detract from play, mind you....
As already noted, also see the 'postprocessing to on' bandaid suggestion from Cryptic at the top of this page (yellow text); works for some, for others it only provides temp relief if at all.
Like many, I don't have the option to toggle postprocessing. I have discovered however that I only see the error when the screen in not having things actively move around on it. In other words, on New Romulus, I don't have it. In combat I don't have it *provided I have enemies in front of me*. It does happen in sector space regardless. I've also noticed that scanning clears it up for the length of time it takes for the scanner to do it's thing. So I've been using 'V' a lot. I'm not going to adjust setting or anything; I'll wait for PWE to fix the problem.

The map(s) you were on Any map including log in screen.
Reproduction steps Log into game and either continuously switch maps/characters/and in my case simply hanging out in the sphere ground battlezone for an hour or so and than leave to any other map.
Including:
How you made it occur Listed in reproduction steps.
How you made it stop occurring (if you did - make sure to see the yellow text at the top of the forum for a possible workaround) Found no possible way to stop it from occurring other than to not ever change maps, or shutdown and restart game client.
And how you made it occur again As described in reproduction steps w/o fail.
I do think it might have something to do with using alt +tab to view a chat or forum during loading screens, maybe.
Has anyone else experienced constant display adaptor failures and even blue screens of death? I've been experiencing both since the 21st on days when I try to play sto.
This issue where back grounds in character dialog becomes white, item icons vanish from inventory, backgrounds to windows disappear, particle effects distorting, Bloom Effects going bonkers, when can we expect a fix to this? Cause its been around since the release of Season 8 which has been how many weeks so far?

The postprocessing "fix" does not work either. Im getting pretty tired of this bug.

This all started with a patch on or about 11-22-2013
as a result I can now ONLY run the game in SAFE mode
I have updated all DRIVERS
I have REBOOTED the system
I have uninstalled STO online and ARC 7 times with a complete
reinstall
I had tried to roll back the computer prior to the LAST patch
but NOTHING is working
Internet connection is COX home with and up until now I have NEVER had this issue...
Suggestions on how to run the game out of safe mode and get rid of this annyoing issue so I can run the "episodes" would be greatly appreciated
also please note...answers need to be in layman terms because I have read and read and read all these fixes and I not being computer savy I really don't understand .....

It's getting to a point where the game is damned near unplayable in many instances.
I don't know if my desktop's GPU supports postprocessing. But because of it's age, I'm a bit hesitant to download the latest patch onto that machine.
So its obvious that since there is a wide range of GPU's being effected that the problem does not reside with the End User.
