    When the game crashes to the desktop after reaching 75% on the "Cryptic" loading screen, if you wait a moment, a box should pop up telling you that the Client is gathering information and it should have a white box where you can fill in what you were doing when the crash occurred...

    Down at the bottom there should be button to the left, button to the right and in between should be an "Error Ticket Id" and then a number.
    "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q, TNG: "Q-Who?"
    ^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...

    Yeah I will jack with it.

    But where is everyone getting these error codes for their crashes? Is there a log file in my game directory i need to access?

    no, cryptic has a crash manager (or monitor) when the game crashes in the cryptic engine a report form pops up on your screen, the error ticket is usually at the bottom

    Oh that? With the box you type in and click Submit? Yeah that pops up, too. I'll try again and see if it has a number. Any time that box comes up I just ignore it and close it.

    EDIT: Nope. Different ticket ID. 14178636. :( Going to unsubscribe from this thread then and go back to drivers., even though NWO, Rift, FF XIV, and all of my other games seem to be working fine. just Season 8 STO is hated by my system :(

    ooo not good

    well in one way it could be good, your windows error may not be caused by your driver then,
    it may be in the way the launcher is communicating with your system


    fiddling with your nvidia control panel 3d settings while running a 3d graphic may shed some light on that

    (purposely try to make it crash)

    I dunno. I thought it was related to the issues here because the symptoms seem to be the same. Error started on Tribble, then followed over to holodeck on release. But the difference is i have a different ticket number than everyone else, I get an error box that pops BEFORE the cryptic error one, and it tells me what is wrong - my graphics card. No one else is getting that. So it is indeed unrelated to this.

    I guess I could use it as an excuse to upgrade to a better card :)

    Thanks for the help, though. I'll give that driver install program a try.

    ROFL!!! And now Tribble boots for me . . . just can't click anything, but that's because everything is bloody squeezed on only one monitor.

    EDIT: Nevermind I fixed the issue with not being able to click on anything. I just had to use a keyboard shortcut to reset the graphics. So Tribble is working.

    LOL Why the heck was i getting a different error code than everyone else?

    On yours, does it sometimes crash at the Cryptic Screen and sometimes at Character Select?

    to give more detail, i get the cryptic screen, it fully loads then all goes blank, and for a fleeting second i get a white box on the top left of my screen, then i get dumped back on my desktop and the launcher has closed, then i get the error report box.


    same all the way thru all patches, tribble and holodeck

    Now that you mention it, I was getting that white box also. The odd part is AFTER Tribble was patched it still happened. It did so after my updates and everything. It was just a random re-try to see if I read the error code wrong that it somehow worked, so maybe they are getting it fixed without having to do patch downloads through the process? I'd keep trying Tribble and see if you get in. And if so be prepared for that wierd resolution . . . don;t forget ALT+ENTER when they do fix it for you.

    Hope that helps. You helped me so least I can do is put out what I stumbled across :)

    Goodnight and be safe. Time to sleep for work in the morning.

    Just a thought, is there any way to ask brandon if he will ask the devs to make a

    "persistent officer" accolade, or perhaps a title that will show on our visible stats?

    I'm a little taken aback by how my Persistent Officer title idea has taken on with you guys... pretty cool that at least one persistent joke has been thought of as useful. It would be magnificently awesome to meet some of you in game this way.

    Diverging slightly...

    I don't know about those costume links, guys, doesn't that come dangerously close to violating the whole 'third-party' thing in the TOS? I wouldn't want to be banned over a costume, so I don't know if I'd feel safe using them...
