After a few hours of fiddling with graphics, virus scans, the whole kit-n-caboodle. It is beyond me what is causing this.
Anywhere between 2 minutes to 10 minutes into the game my without any build up lag or anything, I get a complete systems crash with no warning at all. I've tested and played other games and yet no issues with them, just with STO.
