This problem only started today.
Nothing has changed on my computer since yesterday and i was playing fine before this patch.
No, i did not download/update any drivers
No, nothing is overheating
Yes, i have tried tweaking with all the video settings - no luck
Yes, i have restarted my computer since the patch
Yes, i have the most current drivers for my video card and direct x are currently running perfectly
Yes, the other games i play on my computer run perfectly
If anybody could help me out that would be great!

PS please ignore the stuff on my right screen XD

-- one more thing. Most current drivers is usually not the best option. Have you tested others to see if any work better with sto? I've notice every time they patch the game the break my setup and I have to tweak for hours to get it back. Running fine on 195 drivers (SLI) then the graphics improvement patch hit during the beta and I felt like I was looking at pictures instead of a game. Screwed with it for hours then got the 196.21 (newest) - fixed the choppy framerate, and now my cursor doesn't work worth a TRIBBLE. And alt tabing tricks my drivers to run in single card mode instead of sli. This has happened on a weekly basis with these patches, fix one thing break something else.
I'm using modded 196's right now as it is the only way I can get SLI to stay on and my cursor not go ape **** on me. Since your using that x2 card your problems might fall into the driver category. Check the ATI forums for your card and the best drivers for STO (or at least working ones lol).
Ran the force verify in the launcher -> didnt fix the problem
Like i said, STO was running fine yesterday...
It was something they put in that started TRIBBLE up my game =/
I'm really hoping that i will not have to down grade my drivers for one game
I hope for both our sakes that they fix this problem.
i am having the exact same graphic issues. have anyone found a solution?
