Graphics

Why is it you take up 9 GB of storage on my hard drive, yet most of your textures in the game look like they've been drawn with a crayola crayon?

    Not sure what game you've been playing.

    Also, the total GB of a game does not rely solely upon the graphics...


    Are you at half-resolution?

    The game looks good even on low medium ( curse you GPU overheating). The only real problem I have with graphics is no facial expression NPC-s and toons.

    STO's graphics are pretty good for a game that's been for nearly 5 years.

    STO's graphics were totally screwed over in Season 9 for an as yet to be explained reason .

    Ppl get lower frame rates , reports of vid cards straining more than they had before and overly bright textures @ Maxed settings when they were perfectly fine previously @ Maxed out settings .

    Plus the inability of some ppl to see their own weapons fire in STF's (but being able to see everyone elses ...) & the zero upgrade in visuals reported from ppl who have the latest vid cards all point to development resources wasted & game unnecessarily messed with .

    You know ... kind of like the Doff UI update when they have no intention of bringing Doffing to mobile devices .

    Can you play CE?

    If you can, then you're good off... I can run everything in this game on max, with only the rare example of lag, yet for some reason the CE looks like a 1992 DOS game that tries to emulate invisibility, and crashes my computer.

    It's the ONLY place I experience this... I would gladly trade to low-res textures if I could just play the CE.... but swapping to min settings still produces this.

    And its ONLY the CE... no where else...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Well thats fortunate... mine happens ONLY in CE, and I quite literally can not complete a CE if my camera is on the CE for more than 3 seconds, as it will effectively crash my PC.

    Lot of the space of the game is used by sounds and VOs. And other stuff, it just isn't graphics.
