Lets start with the little annoying bugs..

In a mission. No damage to my ship, to buff, anti-buffs, or dots on my ship.. For no apparent reason my forwards weapons stop working... They just won't fire.. 15 min of my time wasted while I wait for the instance/mission to reset.


In game...game packs up and crashes my computer.. i7 CPU scad of RAM, 1 GB high end vid card and it crashes my comp. No other aplication I run crashes my comp... just STO.. not the game crashes mind you it hangs followed moments later by the BSOD.. I didn't even know that windows-7 had a BSOD untill STO.



INstant invunerabilty of AI targets.. on..and just for fun.. carfull playing stop the signal on anything other then normal level... the Undine will wipe out the Klingons and then good luck completing the mission buddy!


Oh.. and the "second" faction... Klingons...Go into an exploraton mission.. kill bad guys... no bad guys to kill. Happens in space, and happens on ground...


If someone comes up with another sort of trek based online game it'll have to be better beause this one stinks..


ANd please.. about those dissapearing C-Store item..

I'm in a fleet of Klingon players that dominated online play as Klingons playing SFC. Dedicated people. Well, you've lost most of em. I've heard it called a single player game with community but honestly I've seen better single player games..

I have a life time member ship.. Unless ya'll dev types LIKE reading about how nasty a job you've done I suggest you get on the worst of these reaccouring bugs and fix them.. If you don't thier only going to get worse as you layer on the code.

And you will be hearing more from ME!

I will stop being polite. You will get the complaints as E-Mail, snail mail etc. You all ready took my money so I figure its open season on you for not delivering a lot better product then you have.

P.S. I'm already telling folks to check the game out a year from now assuming its still here. Right now.. needs alot of work yet.

    At least for thi, I'd check your hardware/driver config. One thing the STO client hasn't done since the end of closed beta is crash on me. Might want to post a DXDiag and a Hijack this log in the trech support forum and see if anyone can spot something.

    Never had an Enemy NPC ship become invunerable to me in any mission. As for Stop the Signal - soloed it 7 times over the course of closed and open beta - haven't tried it since the difficulty sklider came in; but as long as your paying attention and concentrate of the main ship and assist the Klingon, it explodes pretty quick.

    Klingon faction condition; yep, it's bad, no arguement there, but they are working on fixing and expanding it. For 3 1/2 months post launch, ythe STO Devs have already added a lot (and fixed a lot, but like any MMO, bugs keep poping up as systems are added/updated/changed. STO is unfortunately not at all different in tat regard. Hopefully the Season 2 Update (due June/July) will do a lot for the Klingon faction, but we'll see.

    Typical symptom of system hardware instability.
    Possibly the Motherboard or RAM, unless you have the system overclocked in which case i strongly recommend you back off on that.

    So basically this is the first MMORPG you've played since you're getting worked up about bugs and wish you didn't get a lifetime sub.

    Lifetime subs are for forward thinking people who can realize there will be good times and bad, and who are willing to suffer the bad for the good, adapt to the changes over the years, and eventually come out on top monetarily.

    hey, i just thought i would put my two cents worth in on this.

    i too had the issue of STO crashing and weapon malfunctions, however, as for the crashing... chances are that you have "dynamic lighting" enabled(either/both in-game or in your card settings), turn that off and you should be fine i had the problem with both ati and nvidia cards till i turned that off, STO hasn't crashed on me once since i did that.

    as for your weapon malfunctions, sounds like you got bugg'd either from the entrance of the mission/instance or from a character/ship flaw (usualy a database error)

    oh and by the way....EVERY MMO has these kinds of bug though the first years.... world of warcrap had things like this for 3 years, Vangard was so advanced no pc could run it(except lowest settings) till a year later, AGE OF CONNAN(flopped and way more problems than STO)... so in conclusion, STO is actualy doing quite well, both in thier progression of the game and fixing bugs, especialy since its the first ST MMO and on top of that it also is the first MMO to incorperate both Space AND Ground playtypes in one game.

    Never had this happen to me (baring lag outs of course)

    You've got the numbers, but it sounds like you need to go over your system and check for instabilities and get some new drivers just in case.
    INstant invunerabilty of AI targets.. on..and just for fun.. carfull playing stop the signal on anything other then normal level... the Undine will wipe out the Klingons and then good luck completing the mission buddy!

    I've seen the AIs got invulnerable on certain exploration missions when they pop 'Metaphasic Shield' (buffs them for 5-8 seconds of complete immunity), but I have never had a problem with 'Stop the Signal.'
    Oh.. and the "second" faction... Klingons...Go into an exploraton mission.. kill bad guys... no bad guys to kill. Happens in space, and happens on ground...

    yeah that happens to me all the time too, it's incredibly annoying.
    ANd please.. about those dissapearing C-Store item..

    I've yet to buy anything from the C-Store so I can't say anything about this.

    For the invulnerability ... are you getting an "immune" message? If so, that could just be a multiphasic shield ability some NPCs have (and if it never goes away, that's a bug).

    Otherwise, I don't think I've encountered this before.

    I have completed the Stop the Signal mission on elite. Not sure where the problem was for you. Could you be more specific? Maybe there's a workaround we know about which can help you?

    Also, I suggest you remove your real name and address from the thread. That's not good internet form. It also opens you up to the machinations of bad people who inhabit the internet. And I do believe it's even against the forum rules, even if it is you who is naming you.
