Crash .. crash and more crashes

Why I don't post much in STO forums is I can never figure out where to post. Moderator please move this post where appropriate .. and not the trash can please.

My system is a good one.. all name brand items .. yet it constantly crashes on land action missions such as Star Base 24 or infected etc. You know how hard it is for Infected and the Cure etc ... then to have constant crashes. Never had a crash in space... only land action.

Win 7 64 bit
8 gig mem ddr3 sdram
Intel I 5 750 Processor
Intel Motherboard DP55WB
ATI Radeon HD5770 PCI
Latest Drivers and all that nonsense... .. .

I am a gamer, I play a ton of games with no problem. . except STO.



Crytpic has so many core dumps of mine they probably will never have time to read and analyze them all !!

Oddly enough .. the Big Dig has never crashed on me .. but I've never been able to complete that missions because ... "known issues". What an answer to get from Cryptic .. "known issue" since the game started yet they leave that mission in the game? Go Figure. I've done that mission where my team had all 20 Artifacts covered with shields ... "server burp".. and the entire team is put back to 6/20 .. and Crypitcs answer: Known issue. Well that "known issue" cost me 9 straight hours trying to get thru that missions. Some of the team members were with me for 4 hour straight. 9 hours you say... you must be terrible at the game. Maybe so ... maybe I am ... but all the same it was Cryptic that stopped me from completing that missions.. many times. I have still not completed that missions and it a horrible experience for me.

Infected .. over and over.. crash crash crash. Really ticked my team off. But.. the power of the 'team' finally got me thru that...

Cure. Now there is a good one. Crash after crash .. but then again the power of the team finally got me thru that. Guess what? I can't to KA because Cryptic says I've never done Cure!!! No record of me doing Cure.. So here I am again.. trying to get thru Cure.. crash.. crash and more crash. And when I'm done with Cure .. I bet Cryptic will have no record of me doing it again.. lol. Really .. not funny but what else is there for me to do at this point? So many crashes... so many dumps sent in. I guess STO I just can't play with my 64 bit system :( No way can I afford to just go buy another system. I would buy a better or stronger Gfx Card if I "knew" for sure that would solve the problem, but I rather doubt my Gfx card is not good enough for this game...

I give up.

Surrendered ....

    Turn off dynamic lightning in the video options. It's known to cause just the issue you mentioned. Cryptic is working on a fix, but as of yet it is unknown when it will be deployed.

    It is certainly worth a try.. thank you.

    One would think .. that if its a known issue.. one of the patches would have turned OFF dynamic lighting .. and let those that can use it.. turn it ON.

    ::shrugs::

    We shall see.

    So far.. so good with turning OFF Dynamic Lighting.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm just a computer user.. not a geek.

    I am getting somewhat the same thing but mine crashes randomly. In space or on the ground. Love doing one mission 6 times before I got through it.

    I have turned off or turn ALL the video setting down. I have gone as far as creating a new account on the computer, turning off one monitor and running it in windowed mode. I could reinstall windows but will only do that when this is the only game in the world to play.

    I have the newest NVIDIA driver for my 8600GT card. Not sure what else to do other than return to EVE Online where I can run 4 clients at a time.

    I have about lost interest.
