    Same with me, som. An occasional crash, usually to sign-in screen.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Not a single crash here. Could be a driver issue?

    I don't think it's a driver issue I'm running the latest Nvidia Geforce drivers, the last several weeks. I'm also getting the occasional crash, but many get them far more frequently!

    Still the problem is 100% the program for sure, and likely a change made since 5/25 - 4/28. For years before it had run reliably for almost everyone.

    While only a small % report things on the forums, several are identifying the 3 closely linked issues in these threads:

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1262060/game-crashes

    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1261966/weapons-wont-fire/p1

    All seem to start (mostly) around 5/25 update, though a few in first thread listed reporting seeing Black Screens on Patch 4/28.

    So hopefully they are putting resources into resolving these issues soon, if they haven't already...

    ╘ selecting Game Support and using 'Chat' or 'Contact Support' to log a ticket with Arc.

    It's interesting someone noted in a General Discussion Thread 5/27 that many queues seemed less likely to run or 'dead' was their word choice; I suspect it has caused by the above?

    To many players having crashed on STO only, for it to be driver issues. 3 different accounts, 4 different machines here.

    Start by click on SUPPORT on the top menu bar.

    Perhaps chat is only available in english as I'm in North America, may exist for a few other regions.
    ╘ click Game Support, then look for a blue chat window (bottom right) corner.

    Or click the hyperlink Contact Support in White/Light Grey to open a Arc Ticket.
    ╘it's within the darker grey border Support | Contact Support where your username is on right of it.

    If you click your Username you can view your past tickets, or update tickets as well.

    Try your best to answer any questions they have, and explain what your seeing. You can also include a few screen shots showing various issues.

    Note: Dxdiag is an application that comes included with Direct X and can save all details on each machine in text format for you to upload to them. If there's multiple computers save to a USB drive to upload them for each computer in the household.

    Then maybe with that detail they can send it on to the next Tier of Support for at least a bit more investigation. As that may help them identify to the DEVs information on machines having issues, so they can review to help troubleshoot, or help identify a way to fix or improve performance issues.

    Ill just be doing admiralty or something and the game just shuts down and goes to the Cryptic restart box that gives you the error code. Next time it pops Ill submit a ticket.

    The game didn't crash for a long time for me but this week I had it crash around 4 - 5 times on me. Also getting similar reports from my fleet mates.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    Funny what ever they did today 6/10 my Black Screen is Back!

    I haven't seen that since 5/25, when I then uninstalled and reinstalled it completely to fix it.

    Though like many others I do sometimes get a daily crash!

    At least this time CTRL-ALT-DEL after waiting 1-2 minutes on Black Screen, then restarting the program returned it to loading fine.

    Hopefully they make fixing this a priority, along with the crashes after some of the other fixes we saw today. o:)

    I've had more crashes since that 25/5 patch than in the last 3 years combined. At least ship weapons are working now though :)
