    I've reduced my Video to minimal levels and still have the problem .. my computer easily runs WOW and Aion and Conan so i'm worried about this game. could it be a dual core processor problem?

    No offence but almost any system can run those kind of games. theyre not resource heavy at all.

    What kind of lag are you referring to? FPS lag where animations seem "jerky", or server lag, where it looks good, but your ship can bounce everywhere or just not move?

    have the same problem.
    Extrem lag in Instances. Outside Instances on the Sektor-Map there are no Problem, no lag.

    G-Card.: Nvidea 9500 GT (newest Treiber installed)
    Win 7 64-bit
    4GB Ram
    AMD Phenom 8450 Triple Core 2,1 GHz

    Game-options (grafik) all low (minimum)

    Frame on Sektor-Kart: ~55 frames
    Frame in Instances: ~10 frames

    Movements are slowed down very easily. Only in the instances and Videos. But at 10-11 frames, no wonder. However, this problem is new.
    This problem is (I think) since 06./07.Februar, before this problem was not present

    9500's are pretty poor cards. Check to see if you ave DDR2 or DDR3 memory on it.

    PNY Geforce 9500 GT DDR3 512 MB

    I've been playing the Close Beta. I had this problem before.
    Only since about 1-2 days.

    Hmm. You should be ok for this game. have you tried running the game in safe mode from the launcher?
    Also try rolling back your drivers to the 190.** series. See if that helps.

    I'm having the same problem, I'm runnign xp SP3 Media Center and my laptop is Vista home premium same connection, both nvidias, both AMD's only real difference is my laptop has two cores where my desktop has one, something dosnt seem right here because the specs of my laptop are pretty poor compared to my desktop so is this a Windows XP bug or is it simply my desktop which has the loading problems, and the rubberbandign problems, is that it is too old.

    The game is optimized for dual cores and above, so single cores will have their fair share of problems.

    Well this certainly does suck, I can run crysis farcry 2 and most newer games with no problems no lag, and I get an online game that I cant play great.

    Testet again

    Video Options --> Speed low
    No effekt. ---> Frame rate ~10
    Video Options --> Recommended
    Frame rate ~10
    activate "Half resolution" (On) ---> Frame rate ~60

    Like I said, I've been playing close Beta, and had always turned off the half reduction, and thus never had problems.
    Only after 1-2 days, I have this extreme frame rate reduction.
    And this is only in STO. In no other online / offline game I have this problem.

    I have an older driver installed (190.TRIBBLE), no effect. Problem persists.
    However, I've found. The problem exists only if in the system (Instance) are many asteroids.
    Then slide the frame rate highly in the basement (10 frame). Is not an asteroid is in the system, the frame rate is 30-40.

    For all those asking the standard troubleshooting questions dont bother, sadly there is currently a known issue with nvidia 4xx and 5xx series cards and poor engine performance but whose to say this doesnt affect opther nvidia cards :(
