DirectX 11 Error Code (E_OUTOFMEMORY)

velquavelqua Member Posts: 1,220 Arc User
Not sure if anyone else is or has had STO crash due to the DirectX 11 Error Code (E_OUTOFMEMORY) since Season 13's patch. I have had this issue since I switched over from DirectX 9 to DirectX 11. Starting with Season 13's patch, this issue has become worse. I can only do 1 or 2 PvE queues before the game starts to crash. I do feel like there is a memory leak somewhere. I remember there being an issue with DirectX 9, but somewhere along the line it had been addressed. I am hoping this gets addressed some time soon.

    How much system RAM and video RAM do you have?

    Try lowering some graphic settings. For example, if you have character, terrain and world detail set to max bring it down to high. Maybe lower texture anisotropic filtering down a bit as well.

    4GB of RAM is considered low these days, but it should be fine for playing STO. I have 16GB of RAM in my systems, but that last time I checked, when I was only running STO and nothing else in the background the desktops / laptops were using something like 3.9GB of RAM.


    Have you tried uninstalling your graphic drivers, then installing the latest version?

    It's a bit tedious, but can both of you do a force verify or worse, reinstall the game?

    Today my game crashed while I was doing "The Warehouse" on New Rom, and now every time I try to launch the game I get this error. I have tried a force verify, and it is still doing this. I will have to try an fresh install I guess. Sadly that means no playing for a while.​​

    **UPDATE**

    So I did not uninstall/reinstall yet. I did kick my launcher into safe mode and got in first try. If I hit future snags on this error I will update again.​​

    Actually, I did play the entire session in safe mode. I just had to turn occlusion back on so the transparencies worked. Then next time I fired the game up no issues at all.​​

    I get the same error too now. Locate your localdata file and delete the GamePrefs.pref file. This will reset your graphics settings, but will help the game loadup better. The only problem is that the system will restore GamePrefs.pref file after a while. So you will have to keep deleting it when you notice a problem has reoccurred. If that doesn't work then something else is going on.

    ^^This!, sometimes, the gameprefs file gets corrupted, and you have to delete it.. not a biggie, as is very rare that this happens.. but its the best solution.
