Well, it's back for me. And I'm convinced it's related to anything Cryptic does to the UI.
About two patches ago, the crashes I've been getting since the anniversary update began had ceased. I was able to play the game normally. Now it seems the crashes have returned. Same circumstances as before. I play any piece of content that is heavy with activity, game will crash.
Can I expect this to be an up and down roller coaster in performance with this game for it's foreseeable lifespan? *sigh*

Yesterdays patch did nothing to help me on the issue.

Cryptic, I gave you money for some ships recently in hopes to try have some fun in the game still, but it was a mistake! I feel customers should be able to get refunds if they cannot enjoy the game due to your errors or constant changes. Take my game back and refund me all my purchases in the last year, cuz this has been a big LIE.
Angry and Tired of this.
Found a Reddit thread that's trying to find commonalities with these crashes. Might be of some use.
I feel a fool for trying be optimistic about this game over the years and telling others to look on the bright side. I wish I could get my money back, I really do, as this has been my biggest mistake and waste of money I have done online. How a company can get away this type of service makes no sense!
2/28/15 Crashed in Undine space bz as planet killers arrived, lost my progress again (!!!). No error reporting option as usual. Can find no log of the problem. It is all my fault or my puters fault no doubt! How could such a fine company be at fault (snarksnark). Also crashed 15 mins earlier transferring maps Klingon Academy to First City. Always quick CTD, but sometimes I suffer the SERVER NOT RESPONDING puts me to login screen also. What a stupid MESS! But its my fault, its my win7, its my intel chip, its my labradoodles hair!TRIBBLE%@! OFC why didnt I think of that!
Title: Ode to STO
Post Body: My game crashes, alot alot alot! How many times now, I forgot forgot forgot! It crashes to desktop everyday, it crashes in every possible way. It crashes in the morning and it crashes at night. It now crashes just out of spite! I try to be nice and behave, but I feel more and more a slave. You took my money and left me poor, and now I cant even shop at my favorite store! I had a smile a day, things had went my way. Now I waste time playing a game that always ends the same. CaaaaaaaRRRRaaaaaassssssssHHHH!!!!
Reproduction steps:
1. I logged into any of my characters.
2. I am anywhere in the game.
3. I moved, I stayed still, I play, I need a pill.
4. I tried to have fun. What is that word? I have none.
5. When I was fighting enemies here or there, or fixing a knot in my hair. CRASH!!!!
I am a fitch now cuz of you.
Very frustrating...
Now I'm beginning to wonder if this'll happen every other patch or so... :rolleyes:

crashing on multi monitor setups or crashing on single monitor in windowed or windowed maximised modes.
i've had zero issues with the game and i play long sessions 10 characters through rep and the event daily. almost always fullscreen though. alt tab for brief periods but return to fullscreen as soon as i'm done with whatever.
another possibility is you have software interfering along with the multi and windowed modes that could be breaking sto's rather fragile hold on running properly. shut down av's, anti-malware, etc, clean up all background processes you don't need and try it fullscreen, single monitor mode.
if nothing else doing that can possibly narrow down why it crashes.

neither for me it seems.

extremly nice song. pls make it music
As in I get these odd crashes if I have a UI up for a while.
I get them for example when I am at the ship selector UI screen looking at ships.
Or at a screen looking at character inventory...or their skills.
I sometimes get them at the start menu when I looking at configuration options fro the game....
I turned off two differing modes that where suggested in another post and don't seam to get as many crashes....
But this definitely seams like some form of issue...like maybe something isn't drawing right or something.
