I've been working on STO since Closed Beta, but for some reason I have stumbled upon a major issue that suddenly appeared once Head Start started (this has never happened before). For some reason, the Character Creation page is all fuzzy and makes everything look like it is underwater. Is anyone else having a similar issue? I've attached a pic so you know what I'm talking about. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me (as you can see from the chosen image I am a Lifetime Subscriber, so I really want this to get fixed). Thanks for your help!

that will fix it
the CoX engine can have a UI resolution and a world resolution. It's possible that your world resolution is set really low somehow, perhaps a manual .ini edit. If the server was up, I'd take a look into the advanced settings on STO but it's not, yet. One thing you could try that might recreate your settings is changing the resolution the game is running. Changing between fullscreen and windowed, if in windowed try resizing the game.
Another thing you can try is either deleting or moving the file Gameprefs.Pref from your <where STO is>\Star Trek Online\Live\Localdata directory. If you open it up in notepad you can look for GfxSettings.ScreenHeight and GfxSettings.ScreenWidth for your resolution. Interestingly, above those two entries is GfxSettings.RenderScaleX and GfxSettings.RenderScaleY. My config file says "0" for both, they may be set differently in yours.
I hope this helps somewhat, let us know how it goes
And uninstalling/reinstalling the game will not change anything unless you also manually delete the settings folder on your system.
Good luck.
Has anyone else using medium resolution been having these problems? I've submitted a bug report, but Cryptic is notorious for not actually doing anything about those. If anyone else has been experiencing this, it might help to pool our data and send it their way.
And then turn off half resolution and restart the game one more time.
Maybe even try setting all settings to maximum and restart. See what things look like and then back down to medium option.
