Fatal Error: Direct3D driver returned error code (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) while creating a texture
This is the error message. Any fix yet? :eek:
MacMan94: I ran into the same problem running the same exact thing. I hope they find a fix for it. I spent way to much money to get the to work to not be able to use it.
I have 2 computers, one is a pentium 4 2.8 Ghz prossecor , 2 gigs ram, Nvidia GeForse FX 5200 and the other is a 2.0 64 amd with 2 gigs ram and a Nvidia GeForce 6200 card . I kno neither one meet all the requirements for the game but will they play it at all even if it lags and looks crappy? I will still buy it if so. PLZ SOMEONE TELL ME! I BEG U

The FX 5200 will not even be able to launch this game.
I think you mean AMD 64 bit 2.0 Ghz processor single core. With the Nvidia GeForce 6200 people have been able to get STO to play but on the lowest setting and resolution. You will see a lot lag and in fleet action this game will be nearly impossible to play. This game is design for dual core CPU and better GPUs. Sorry.

If you live by a Del Taco you can get a free 2 day game play code. You can use it starting Feb 2.
We all agree that video card sucks. Try for one of theses
Graphic Gaming cards:
Entry level:
ATI HD 4650 and 4670 cards only needs a 400 W PSU.
Nvidia Geforce GT 240 needs a 350 W PSU
Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT needs a 400 W PSU.
All four of these cards usually do not need a 6 pin PCIE cable. Always check the box for system requirements.
STO Gaming level med. Price ranges on these cards are under $100.00. The ATI's usually a better choice here on a price/performance.
Mid Level:
ATI HD 4850,4890, 5750, 5770 and the Nvidia 9800 GT, 9800 GTX, GTS 250 needs a 450 to 500 W PSU with one 6 pin PCIE cable. Always check the box for system requirements.
STO Gaming level High. Price Range: $100-230.00.
High End:
ATI HD 5850, 5870, 5970. Nvidia GTX 260, 275, 295 needs a 550 to 750 W PSU with two 6 pin or 1 6pin and 1 8 pin PCIE cables. Always check the box for system requirements.
STO Gaming level Very High. Price Range: $250.00-600.00.
Thank you. This has helped me alot.
Just one question, where does the ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB fit in?
I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ , MMX 3DNow 2ghz Processor with 4g DDR, Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT and it works. This lower than their minimum system requirement. Some graphical function has been switched off or put on low.
Specifications of a DELL computer i am looking at buying....will this run STO?
AMD Athlon II X3 425 (2.7GHz, 1.5MB Cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit - English

The G310 is a rename G210 chip. It is one notch above value card. It's is not a gaming card. It is design to play HD movies. Games like WoW and SIMS play fine on it. Demanding 3D games like STO will play but at low resolution and settings with very poor FPS maybe 20-25 FPS when your by yourself and under 20 more closer to 10 while in fleet action.
You really want your FPS above 50.

Thanks White Knight but it will run STO....until I can save up for a top end graphics card...that computer is just over my budget so im stretching basically as far as I can there.
Where's that setting? I wish just once when someone says they can do something they would say exactly how instead of just doing a drive-by.
It's not a setting in the option panel, it's a command line you type into the chat window. Open your chat window by pressing the RETURN key then type "/showfps 1" (without the quote marks) in the chat box. That will turn on the FPS counter which will appear in red text in the upper righthand corner. To turn it off, duplicate the preceding but type "/showfps 0" (that's the number zero).
You'll have to speak to a developer why this and other useful commands couldn't have been placed in the options menu.

Dude don't get a Dell I used to have Dell Comps but I have since moved on to HP computers which are much better driver supported with more component for less cost. You can get much better systems than the above for probably less than what Dell wants for that. I quit Dell because I found the driver support to be seriously lacking. Been very happy with HP, no issues.
I haven't bought the game yet, or even played it,but I am looking forward to it, based on what little I've read.
I already know my current PC is woefully underspecced - my tax return will go towards funding a new PC, which is just waiting in a newegg wishlist.
I was wondering if my current system will run it at all while I wait for the new pc's parts to show up. It is:
Pentium 4 2.8e (Prescott, HT, 1 MB L2 cache)
2 GB PC3200 (board is an Abit IC7-MAX3, fwiw)
GeForce 6800GT (CYRI says yes for memory, shaders, etc, but still FAIL)
Windows XP SP3
I apologize for not using the search feature, but it says I don't have privileges to search?
I don't mind turning the settings down, and it if matters, I run my monitor at 1280x1024, so that's what game I'd try running the game at.

I'm pretty sure the 6000 series lacks the shader capability to even display the graphics from STO. Absolute minimum AFAIK to display anything from STO would require a 7000 series.

You don't meet minimum specs. But STO will play most likely play on your setup. But at low resolution and settings. Your FPS will be very low 25 max when your alone, and 5-15 in fleet action or ground play with lag.
This game is design for Dual-Core CPU and better GPU.

Well, it looks like your typical MMO, and I'm not complaining about that, but damn if the Klingon side didn't get stiffed, at least IMO.
Gateway DX4640-UBC01A Refurbished Desktop PC - Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6GHz, 4GB , 500GB, DVDRW-RAM Labelflash, Flash Reader, Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1
GPU/VPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7100
Video Memory: up to 256MB Shared Memory
At a rough guess, your system will struggle.
The CPU and everything else is fine, but a Geforce 7100 is about as low-end as NVIDIA stuff gets.
Having said that, since it's a desktop system, and not ancient judging by the CPU, a graphics card upgrade would fix it.
MacMan94: I ran into the same problem running the same exact thing. I hope they find a fix for it. I spent way to much money to get the to work to not be able to use it.
The 7900 should work just fine... in fact, gameplay should be very smooth with that card.

Could use a seperate program like fraps, but nice to know if STO has its own.
Also, a ping rate monitor with the FPS would be great.

No they do not.
Thank you. This has helped me alot.
Just one question, where does the ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB fit in?
strange I use /showfps 1 to turn it on and /showfps 0 to turn it off.
The ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB is not a gaming card but STO will play on it. You will need to a play with the settings to get STO to run smooth.
I hope that below specs are okidoki:
Intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz Dual Core
4GB RAM
Ati Radeon HD5750 512MB
Where's that setting? I wish just once when someone says they can do something they would say exactly how instead of just doing a drive-by.
You should have a really good time.
