This is really starting to get old all these continual graphic issues, I have a Windows 7 x64, 8GB RAM, ATI 5770 (Not Overclocked) and Latest 10.12 ATI Drivers.

On the release of the new Assimilated Borg Technology set 5 of us from our fleet attempted Infected, everything was fine until the final room with the fight with Rebecca.

As you can see in the pictures below the players and the NPC Rebecca started getting large Aqua boxes as a graphic glitch.

I do not have dynamic lighting or post processing enabled in game.

Cryptic what do you think you can do as a fix for the issue. And while your looking at graphic issues please look at reviewing the following thread, which has been active from January 31st 2010...

    Just did Infected for the first time yesterday and had the same blue boxes on the Borg Boss and on teammates when the Boss put her team-wipe-buff on someone.

    Using NVIDIA GTX260 under Win XP.

    Just ran infected for the first time in ages today and got the blue box around Rebecca also.

    At times during the fight I would get the blue box around my char also then it would just be her.

    Nothing else up to her did that and no encounter outside of the STF has done this either and I am not seeing any gfx anomolies in any other games I am playing outside of STO.

    Nvidia GTS 240

    No overclocking or anything special of that nature.

    Win 7 / 8g Ram.

    I don't have this issue and I'm running an MSI Radeon 5850 1GB OC Edition. I am still running the 10.2 preview drivers and I have everything maxed but Dynamic Lighting is off.

    might have diver conflicts to be sure head to http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ and unistall you drivers and use the sweeper to clean your system of related driver files then install your new drivers from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx or http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk depending on your card.
