Crashing graphics

Hey

Do anyone have a problem with STO crashing saying it doesn't have enougth video memory? It never occurred before Season 9 but now it's occurring. I am thinking the game is not clearing out memory or loading too much which a GPU can't handle during some loading screens. So far this happen 4 times to me since launch

I wish Cryptic spent more time testing Season 9 on tribble and fixing bugs. Then release a half as$ Season 9.

    I am having the same issue. The game resets your graphic settings to their defaults, and so I had to put everything back where it was prior to the update. Once I did so, it restarted, and now crashes with an "out of memory" error.

    yea s9 is badly optimised. try esd and use command /showfps 1

    watch your framerate drop just by talking to an npc,after a while you'll also start to lose graphic quality and all the walls etc etc will turn white.

    something is not going quite well in s9's graphic department.

    Confirmed. I've had instances where the graphics have frozen yet the game continues, as you can hear the background action.

    It will then frequently crash with an out of memory error.

    Also I've noticed that my GPU is now maxed at 99% most of the time in areas such as the Dyson sphere.

    I've already changed gfx cards for this game. I'm not doing it again.
