    You can try turning off Dynamic Lighting.
    I know it sucks turning off the shiny but it did help me with my crashing issue. Then again I did not have other strange graphic issues.

    If that does not work I would suggest doing a force verify so the game can see if any files are broken and fix them.

    The dynamic lighting issue is primarily for ATI owners (like myself). Check to make sure your card isn't overheating, your power supply is healthy, and that your drivers are up-to-date. I know it may seem ironic, but ground maps are the most graphically instense in STO and will push your hardware to the limit.

    The reason for this, i think is that STO uses a limited form of PhysX in the ground combat. This increases the work load across the baord since it adds more particle movement to the screen. just watch as you kick stuff around on the screen.

    I don't think that's the issue here.

    I got a Sapphire 5970 OC on water cooling with Enermax 1250.
    Graphic card driver already updated to the latest Catalyst 10.12 CCC2 on a fresh system.

    This problem was already been bugging me since game launch.
    Whenever there's a mob of enemies, I'd always crash.

    Now that I decided to play again, seems that the bug still there.
    Thought i'd be fixed already by now.
