I just played for about four hours with no lag and no drops to desktop - the FIRST time since the release of DR.
Did you guys sneak a fix in or did I miss a post? Either way, if it's fixed, kudos!

Not enough people playing for the server to go wibble ?? :P
This must be an exploit, expect to get your progress revoked.
Can you please remove your tinfoil hat? the Glare is restricting my vision
Most lag, IMHO, is caused by people's own connection / video card / machine. Likely your own ISP gave you a break or something.
now there is wishful thinking if ever there was such thoughts.
my connection in the morning was dodgy at best but i know that was my end, apart from when something isnt sucking the connection somewhere outside the switch boxes, network and the modem to where its outside of control, can only do so much otherwise the connection has always been grand on sto. its better then it is on swtor for sure.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
So it is not ideal solution. Since cryptic told that dr was thier most succesfull relase in history, so i hope they got enough money to improve insfrastucture and especialy to hire more stuff - programers to hun bugs , omprove stability and reduce lags.
There. Fixed that for ya.
"And all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator ... one criminal ... and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you ... but I call that a bargain."
What they did add to teh patch on the 30th, WITHOUT telling people, was an attack on anybody that uses Steam. They are pretending it's a "fraud prevention" feature, as outlined here:

What it is? It's an attack on anybody that does NOT want to use their ARC interface. IMO. You can use Steam, but nothing you buy will be usable for anything else. You can buy zen, but it's bound on pickup (I sh** you not) so you cannot exchange it for dil. Anything in the store you use it on gets infected by this "bound on pickup" and cannot be sold or traded in any way, shape, or form. The word they used is "contagious" but it's more like "bullsh**."
So you spend some money, get some zen, buy some keys, unlock a lockbox, get that nice new 100 Million EC ship? You're STUCK with it. You cannot trade it.
Why? Because they are trying to force people to use their crappy ARC client. Literally, they are doing this just for steam users, and pretending there's a long-term pattern where it will eventually stop doing that. Yeah... right.. What it is, is really a ploy. This is something they did in Neverwinter as well. All lockbox keys in NW were ninja account bound with no advance notice.
If this happens to you, you're SOL. Customer service (what little there is) says they can't do anything, that no such tools exist to un-bind anything, and that it's outside of their policies because ... reasons. Blah, blah, blah. If this silent "feature" affects you, you will not notice and will not be able to benefit from that which you paid real world money to attain.
Here's a real example of what is going on, and in it they explicitly say "because you bought zen through Steam"

And see here where the CS were insulting and basically admitted it was because they bought it using Steam wallet:

P.S. They also made the notification AFTER THE FACT. The patch was on the 30th, and people are reporting it affecting purchase BEFORE that, but the official announcement was yesterday.
Youre right this is the FIRST thing I checked out. Unfortunately, each and every ping test, etc confirmed that it wasnt on my end . Something about data packet loss on the other end. Not 100% sure what that is but every non-Cryptic site I go to is perfect.
Although Ill admit, I DO have to upgrade my vid card. My gaming card friend and I had to swap it with a less than perfect one all in good time.
On a side note, I tried to log in this morning to see if the pixel compilation error was resolved as well and encountered an ancient enemy. After the initial Delta Rising screen it went BLACK. I could hear the music, my cursor changed, but the game drew the line here! This far, no farther!
One another side note, although this *shouldnt* have really changed anything in-game, I was looking at the STO link and discovered it was set for WIN XP compatibility. I run WIN 7, so changed it to be compatible with my OS. I didnt experience a change at first and think this new resolution may either be temporary or just have nothing to do with my changing that setting. Time will tell, I suppose.
