What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Just a tiny bit annoyed

This is more of a rant / Ask for help kinda thing.

So, Season 10 came out 2 days yaay :), Like every other person who plays STO, I patched, Scrolling through Facebook, I See there doing a quick fix patch, so I stay off game, Wasnt worth the hassle, Tried to get on yesterday night and this morning GMT (England) and now my Direct 3D Driver keeps crashing and returning error codes, I Only has this issue if I launch another game on start up, (STO has to be the first game I launch of it crashes) Seems you guys made a TRIBBLE up of a new expansion, Like always.

I do computers for a living and I know what the error code means, but when I run any other game, League Of Legends, World Of Tanks, Its all good? But when I start my laptop up and start STO BEFORE the new expansion, it was fine, I could play freely without any trouble.

I'm Using an Acer Inspire
Intel Pentium CPU B960
1TB Hard Drive (554 GB Usable)

Still waiting for the terrible support to answer my ticket, which will probably be some copy and paste job anyways.

Any help or guidance would be great

    switch to directx9 and stay on it. sto's dx11 support always had problems, and likely will have them for a long while. i remember when purple or red faces were the least of those, but i guess they're getting more severe with time.

    directx11 is like the klingons. almost nobody uses it, so it's neglected.
    Now clowns, that's another story. They scare the cr​ap out of me.
    We fight them too. Entire armies spilling out of Volkswagens.
    We do our best to fight them off, but they keep sending them in.

    Trust me man, your not the only one. I have been working on this forum trying to get this problem solved for many people. SO far I have only been able to help 3 that I know of from posting the work they did.

    UPDATE 2: I was able to find the issue, It was a failed auto update pack from Mircoass that didn't install, I have redownloaded and updated the failed driver update and launched in safe mode for now
