"Entangled in the Briars" CRASH

This is regarding the "Entangled in the Briars" Federation mission during the Klingon War episode. I have just experienced two crashes during this mission, both during the ground phase.

The first happened in the room with the two captured Federation scientists. Just after I rescued the first scientist, the game crashed. My monitor went black, then after several seconds it went to dekstop, popped the STO error window and I reported the error. The error message (which I saw only briefly) said something about "DXGI"; that and the black screen video character of the crash make me think it was something to do with DirectX.

After checking all game files, I restarted the game and tried to pick back up with the mission. I started in the scientist room, surrounded by respawned Klingons; inconvenient for me, fatal for them. I cleared the room and moved to the next area.

In the room with the secret weapons, I had just planted my third spatial charge when I experienced another black screen crash. This one, however, did not recover; it locked up my computer entirely, forcing a hard reboot. I haven't yet logged back in to try again.

I seem to recall having these same problems on this mission with another character, but that was some time ago so I can't provide details.

Some computer data: Intel i7, Windows 8.1, GeForce GTX-660Ti video, all the latest updates and drivers.

Serious issues with this mission...please get them fixed. Thanks.

    Tried again repeating the mission from the start. Got to the room with the secret weapons and experienced another hard, locked up crash. This mission is busted, and I guess my character isn't going anywhere...

    Just run through the mission just now. Unforunately I did not experience anything that you have previously described. Only thing I can suggest is run force verify on the launcher options to see if there is any corrupt files. Secondly submit a support ticket.

    Support ticket submitted. It took me about half a dozen attempts over the course of two days to finally get through the entire mission. This mission is more broke than a honest Ferengi.
