    this is about how bad is the performance of the engine after season 9.

    I know, right? :(

    whats new? i posted about the helmets for maco not bein seen anywhere, no reply what so ever from the devs.....llike they dont care

    A minor glitch on a costume is one thing and to be blunt, irrelevant to an issue of this magnitude which is seeing 90% of the players struggling to play the game and potentially damaging their computers through overheating.

    I know for one its driving me away from the game. I've gone from playing the game everyday to three times a week. And I bet I'm not the only one migrating away because of this issue.

    Great, any chance of getting this moved to the bug reporting thread where it can be ignored there?
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    This is exactly my situation. Even if still i login a few hours a day, mostly to do the stupid summer event (just the horga hunt.. and gathering pearls for stacking for the next year) i am basically the only thing im doing, because i dont have the guts to do anything else until this is fixed. I am really afraid of breaking my videocard for overheating. Not breaking it, but drastically reducing its life expectations. Its incredible that a really critical issue like this is not even recognized as a problem. That really dont say too much about cryptic, honestly. But i guess everybody is used to it. Sadly. And i am 200% pretty sure i will not be playing this game if it was not star trek related.

    actually, i wasnt told by anyone(when i asked around in chat and on forums), and couldnt find anything about it till i unlocked the 3rd piece to the maco gear. I went to tailor after getting the 2nd piece, nothing, went again after getting 3rd expecting same thing, but there it was :)

    Anyone else had any luck yet in improving their game performance? I've had another play with the settings and unfortunately, there has still been no improvement from Cryptic on this. :(

    Sorry, but its impossible to "improve" it, since its cryptic's fault, not ours.

    Until they revamp the engine or they revert the changes prior to season 9 (god i said this millions of times i think lol) there is nothing we can do. So, we have 2 options, stop playing, or to wait a miracle..

    BUT, since they keep releasing new content, even if they revert the changes prior to S9, problems will be still present. So, if your computer cant handle the game anymore , i will suggest you that you find another game, because i dont think this is going to change. Unfortunately.

    Anyways, you can try to disable dynamic lightning, and antialiasing, postprocessing. Those options are the ones that will consume more resources. But still, you will notice fps lag. But you will be able to play, at least.

    Maybe improving was the wrong word, tuning perhaps could have been better. It's been said many times in this thread about the lack of options we have. More out of hope I guess.

    Disable options completely or lowering them doesn't really do anything at all. Again, have a look at the posts in this thread and you'll see this. Sub 10FPS sucks really bad. :/

    Dont worry about him....he's a know it all. Knows everything about nothing...

    I know this cause i jst done testing and he tried to make it look like i was wrong and he was right even tho he done no testing what so ever.
    Then he tried making out he seen mutiples of the issue i was reporting when no one has reported it, only he has.
    He also likes to start great massive debates off subject :)

    Here is 3 prime examples :)
    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1149351

    and this one

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1137951

    this one as well. He sort of had a point about a trait i could be using. but, he was wrong, not reading what i was writing as per normal, and saying something to try to make it look like i am at fault rather than seeing the pictures i posted.
    A certain person gave an explanation which proved i was right that something was wrong with the image i provided.
    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1147861

    My point, is policestate76 likes to start great debates when not needed, likes to discredit those who are trying to help the devs, makes out he is not flaming or trolling anyone when he clearly is, hes gotten me fired up a few times now but i have woken up to his ways now.
    He is always right, everyone else is always wrong. And he even takes things out of context just like he did with you, hes done the exact same thing to me countless of times.
    I do really hope they ban him because he needs to be.

    For some reason, that guy just hates me, dont even read anything he says about me. In every situation i was just trying to make points clear to him and just trying to help him, but for some weird reasons, he sees things that nobody else can lol. Dont even try to get away a little from the main suspect of the post, or you will be called troll or something worst. And in the last example, he cleared wrote "borg damage" and he still was trying to say i just invented that, and he obviously edited his own post to correct that after i wrote it lol. I tell you, Be aware of craig76 lol. Sorry craig76 but if you going to say non sense things about me, just because you have a special hatred focused to me, i need to defend myself.

    Notice that in any moment i insulted him, or i missrespected him or anything.. he must be really angry with the world, i tell you.

    And the last paragraph of his post, is epic lol. I am his archienemy lol. For some reason he assumed that i like to argue when is not needed , when the only thing i did all the time was trying to help him and calrify some things and terms he doesnt seem to understand. If you see other posts of craig, you will see that for some reason he always carry a lot of anger in his posts, i dunno why. I guess this time i was his target. Its like if he wants a straight direct answer only about hes asking, and if he doesnt like what you write, be careful...

    Did i take things out of context, ussprometheus?? Maybe its craig76 the one who wants to be right all the time. If i dont have any idea about a suspect, i am not going to miss inform people. I just try to help, craig seem to not understand this.

    Btw.. im surprised you are a Veteran, craig76. For your behavoiur i saw until now i assumed you was a noob on STO...

    And whats wrong with this, craig76? he just said that i was indeed right, i only recommended him to deactivate those options to see if he can gain more performance, because those are the options that consumes more resources but in the end he probably will still having issues.

    He tried, and he didnt solve the problem. So??? i am trolling him?? i am insulting him? i am giving him false advises?? seriously craig76. I dont get you.

    Was there any need tp debate the screenshots issue i was talking about rather than asking " why would you want to use dx 11 in the first place? "
    If people want to use something in game, they shouldnt have to put with the likes of you questioning them as to why,what,when or hows and turning something non trivial into something trivial and blowing it out of proportion like you did.

    The borg damage, DO YOU READ POSTS BEFORE COMMENTING? AGAIN i am saying this for 100th time DAMAGE VS VORG AS IT SAYS IN DESCRIPTION OF WEAPONS.....
    I NEVER EDITED IT OR NOTHING, IF YOU GO LOOK AND ACTUALLY READ MY POSTS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CONTRADICT ME AND MAKE OUT I WAS WRONG YOU WOULD SEE THE COMMENT " BORG DAMAGE " IS STILL THERE. I DONE THIS TO MESS WITH YOU BECAUSE I AM SICK OF YOU MESSING WITH ME.
    YOU DO ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK I AM WRONG IN EVERY SINGLE POST I MAKE. YOU TRY TO MAKE OUT I AM LYING.
    AS I SAID, WHO CARES IF I DID SAY BORG DAMAGE, ANYONE WOULD KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BUT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE DONT READ, YOU CANT EVEN WORK IT OUT TO BE DAMAGE VS BORG. WHICH IT SAYS IN THE DESCRIPTION INGAME ON WEAPONS!!!

    So, you are telling me, if someone cant think of the right word on their OP, you are going to be there correcting them right? Just like you did above, and you have done with me. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU TAKE THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT, YOU HARASS PEOPLE IF THEY DONT SAY WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO SAY....

    Another thing, again, i am repeating myself here cause you do not read or think it seems,
    AFTER I SAID I HAD DONE TESTING, ON THE WHITE SQUARE BOX ISSUE, YOU TRIED TO CORRECT ME BY SAYING IT IS ENEMY BUFFS OR DEBUFFS WHEN IT IS NOT!!!!

    STOP LYING

    EDIT :

    YOU CALL DEBATING SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO USE DX 11 AND BE ABLE TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS HELPING?

    YOU CALL TRYING TO CORRECT SOMEONE BY SAYING ENEMY BUFFS OR DEBUFFS AFTER THAT PERSON JUST DONE TESTING AND YOU DONE NONE AT ALL, HELPING?

    YOU ARE FLAMING PEOPLE IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING. YOU HAVE ME FIRED UP ALL THE TIME BY CREATING UNNECESSARY DEBATES AND TRYING TO MAKE OUT I AM LYING ALL THE TIME AND BY TRYING TO CORRECT ME EVEN AFTER I HAVE DONE TESTING.

    YOU WANNA DEBATE? GO JOIN PARLIAMENT, THEY LOVE TO DEBATE

    I think is more about enemy buffs / debuffs than player skills. I see it almost all the time since ages ago.

    YOU CALL THAT HELPFUL AFTER I TESTED IT DO YOU? JUST HARASSING ME IN EVERY SINGLE POST I MAKE CAUSE I AM SICK OF IT.

    YOU DID GIVE FALSE ADVICE ON WHITE BOX ISSUE YOU SAID, AGAIN I AM REPEATING MYSELF
    " I think is more about enemy buffs / debuffs than player skills. I see it almost all the time since ages ago. "
    AFTER I TESTED IT FOR OVER 3 HOURS

    THEN YOU DEBATED ME ABOUT THE SCREENSHOTS ISSUE TALKING ABOUT NO DIFFERENCES IN USING DX 11, UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE GOT ON AND QUOTED SOMEONE FROM PWE.

    BUT, YOU ARE SO FULL OF YOURSELF, I DOUBT VERY LIKELY ANY OF THIS IS DRUMMING THRU YOUR SKULL, YOU JUST LIKE TORMENTING PEOPLE IN HOPES THEY SAY SOMETHING WRONG TO GET BANNED.
    THATS WHY YOU KEEP CREATING UNNECESSARY DEBATES AND TRYIN TO MAKE OUT YOU ARE RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG, AGAIN, LIKE YOU DID WITH THE WHITE BOX ISSUE. HOW IS SAYING SOMETHING WITHOUT TESTING BEING HELPFUL? ALL YOU WERE DOING WAS CREATING CONFUSION FOR THE DEVS IN WHICH I WAS TRYIN TO HELP TO GIVE A DEFINITE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM..YOU DIDNT HELP AT ALL

    Of course, blame others and never yourself right? If you hadnt harassed me, this wouldnt be an issue, if you didnt try to correct me when i done testing and you hadnt, this wouldnt be an issue, if you had in fact been helpful in dx 11 instead of sparking a great debate over what i should and should not use, this wouldnt be an issue. This my friend, is your fault for harassing me
    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=944291

    Youre welcome. Next time, please do a search in the forums. Its probably that any bug you discover is already knew by the devs.. :(

    the only time you have actually tried to be helpful, your wording coulda been nicer tho. i took that as being rude.....

    how do you like it being corrected? Even tho there is no need for it?!


    Tell me then, what did i do to you to deserve to be harassed by you, unnecessary debating over a non trivial thing, and to be corrected when i was already correct to begin with?

    im posting things to back my story up, you, nothing, just your own words as per normal in a harassful way

    I really wish they would implement a block button, so then the person harassing us will never see us or our posts again.....

    You must be stupid. Thats it. Only because the bug hapened to you using a skill and you discovered doesnt mean thats the only cause, seriously are you 10 years old?? that bug happens since the beginnins of times and it is not related only to the omega set. GROWN UP. It happens in A LOT of situations. Seriously, how many years old are you?

    "Tell me then, what did i do to you to deserve to be harassed by you, unnecessary debating over a non trivial thing, and to be corrected when i was already correct to begin with?"

    I NEVER harrased you. Only because i told you that?? are you crazy??? do you know why i told you that?? because you ALREADY asked a few things without even using the forum search or just looking at the main page of the forums. You know what, believe what you think , seriously, im not interested in talking to a 10 years old kid.

    Im not going to answer any more other of your commentaries, you seem just a little kid trying to take attention. Good luck in your social life lol. You will need it. And stop writing in CAPITAL letters, if you want to be noticed, you just need to keep saying all that non sense.

    more name dropping [/QUOTE]And stop writing in CAPITAL letters, [/QUOTE] Make me :) there it is again, telling me what i should and shouldnt do, i DO WHAT I LIKE, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT I DO, STIFF :P
    if you want to be noticed,
    naa, i dont care if im not noticed, i think its you that wants the attention, otherwise you wouldnt spark unnecessary debates, telling others what they should and shouldnt do and drag it out and go off topic and name drop.....but here you are calling me a kid lol.

    Well this thread has certainly got completely off topic. Guys, let's cool it whatever has happened.

    Anyhow, the only thing that you were right about was the various effect settings doing nothing to help the game performance which has been mentioned ad nauseam in this thread. I guess maybe you haven't had time to read all the posts.

    Wut?, you were the one asking for advise. I told you what we already knew, maybe i should have been my mouth closed and keep my advises to myself. but if you think my words were useless, you shouldnt ask for em in first place if you already knew that. I mean, we all are guilty here :D, dont ask something you already know the answers. Thats the first step.

    Yup i read all the posts, because for a start i am one of those who was keeping alive this thread. But i dont think i will post here anymore, so, good luck guys.

    Policestate76 - no, I wasn't actually asking for advice. Merely enquiring if anyone had stumbled upon a combination of settings that had at least, smoothed the experience of the game.

    As to the advice, I'm one of the people in this thread who has been in pretty much from the start and have stated numerous times that certain settings such as you suggested, don't work in terms of improving performance. You'll have seen I was a big proponent of this, if in fact you had read all the posts.

    Craig76 - yeah that's it pretty much. The idea on enquiring had been if someone had perhaps gone through the posts from everyone and managed to tune to an acceptable level. :)

    I'm not sure if English isn't everyone's first language here, but I hope we are all at least of the position in hoping the devs will make progress on this someday.

    Im not sure if i already said this or not, but i have Asus Maximus V Extreme, Intel I7 3770K CPU, 32GB Ram @2100Mhz, 2 EVGA GTX 760 FTW Edition @ 4GB Video Ram each running in SLi mode, all running off a Seasonic X-Series 1250W PSU - 80Plus Gold Power Supply Unit.
    And there are areas that it seems to struggle, i more notice it on ESD looking in certain directions or turning around. Areas like Weapons req's near outfit tailor, or near transporter pad looking down toward ship req's.

    I saw someone posting about worried about overheating their machine. I use the EVGA gpu monitor program, it just give what temps your gpu runs at and how fast the fans are running. I havent seen my gpu's go above 60 degrees celsius for the main card, the 2nd card hasnt gotten above above about 50 i think.
    CPU, seems to run at about 55 to 60 degrees ingame, outside the game, on desktop, cpu runs at about 40 and gpu's run at about 40 for main and 34 for secondary card.

    Not sure if any of this helps the devs in finding a solution for why the game struggles in some areas or not, but, its all info they can take into consideration i guess :)

    edited June 2014

    This all happened when the graphics device was set to Auto. Tested forcing it to DX11, same thing, so I assume Auto was using DX11. Forced it to DX9e and the issue seemed to go away. ** update, happens in all DX modes, just the impact seems less in dx9.

    Note that previously I had been using the client in DX11 for many months without any issues at all, and in fact performance was slightly better than DX9 mode.

    Ah- strange. And I need to know: how do I force Directx 9 mode (I'm in dx11 now)? I can't find the instructions anywhere and I don't have a troubleshooting tab in options in-game?

    Ah- strange. And I need to know: how do I force Directx 9 mode (I'm in dx11 now)? I can't find the instructions anywhere and I don't have a troubleshooting tab in options in-game?


    Im not sure if i have missed a post, so, i can only offer you a "possible" solution :)

    Should be able to go to Options, then Display, and change it to DX 9 there. You will have to exit the game tho for the changes to take effect.

    Im not sure if this will work if you are still having issues trying to change to DX 9, but,
    Open launcher, click on Options on top of launcher, then check the box that says " Safe Mode". I think, from memory(been a while since i had to do this), it resets all your graphics to defaults.
    Continue to load the game, then change your graphics as to how you want them set. Close the game and restart it normally.

    Hope this helps :)

    No, it's not been fixed I'm afraid. Still graphics and major FPS problems around. Everything that is coming out at the moment will have been scheduled for donkeys. You just have to hope that they will be able to take a look at this at some point in the future.
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    I'm still waiting for a fix for this + the issue of not having the ability to see my own ship fire/get hit. Unplayable for me.
