    Glad to see these fixes. This is another reason why I wait until playing the new FEs, so the bugs are sorted out. Plus I'm not ready for them yet. Since I'm not that far into the story yet.

    KDF players do not appear in the scoreboard at the end of a PVP match.

    So they still consider this to be a problem for fixing. :P

    I hope she feels better soon. I tweeted her about it and all, but it's good to mention on the forums too.

    So they ARE fixing the item problem tomorrow! Excellent news for anyone affected by it, previous notes made it sound like it wouldn't make it in this week, glad it will.

    In addition to forgetting about the gold badge, they also forgot to fix Fluid Dynamics not having a start point for KDF players.

    • Resolved an issue where allies would sometimes not help the players.

    KDF Tholian Orb Weaver tier 5u captains are at 6 months without sensor analysis. Six months to leave a broken lockbox ship unrepaired. Disappointed we're still waiting.

    again absent in the known issues is the vast amount of crashes folks are experiencing ( the fact the episode mission "out in the cold " on the Deferi map is unplayable for most players, for example ) .

    But has to be said : lots of issues finally get resolved with this particular patch .Deferi map fix - and directx errors in general - for next patch I hope ...

    Our fleet experience with this is that it's caaused by Radeon cards and DX11. To get around it start the game from the launcher in safe mode and then when in game switch to DX9, the problem seems to be solved for the moment.

    apparently you haven't been reading all the threads about this then .

    Hey, just trying to help m8, it worked for several of our fleet members, I don't have the issue and so have not been following it that closely, but hey, you're welcome!

    no, but what it shows is that it's too widely spread to be attributable to folks' setup ( both Nvidia and AMD cards experiencing the same thing ,old and new PC's etc) . Also : the fact this stuff only started happening after S10 update ( and prepatching ) means something has gone awry ...

    And for all the folks in the threads I mentioned the "set to directx9ex in launcher and start in windowed mode " is already known and tested and didn't work .

    the "Delta Rising" and "Iconian War" splash screen has been crashing me with directx error since delta crashing. Direct3d fatal error DXGI fatal error etc

    please if you aren't going to fix splash screen, allow us an option to bypass the splash screen or have a blank splash screen

    You mean it didn't work for you, or some people you have discussed this with, it clearly did work for some others. As is common with GPU driver issues the failures can be very complex with so many different systems accessing the game using different drivers with different settings including OC, and different versions of DX. It's a wonder to me that it ever works at all.

    Yes clearly something in the last patch seems to have sent a bad call in DX, it may be that DX 9 doesn't have access to that proc in which case it's not affecting DX9. It could be something that only Nvidia cards support but has been called to all cards without proper interrogation. I have a sneaky suspicion that the FPS lag introduced which is being fixed may have something to do with this, we will find out after the patch today.

    never seen so much BS in one place . You should check how many foks are experiencing directx errors and client crashes since S 10 update ( the bugs and technical forums are full of threads about it ) . In a post above you someone stated it had to do with AMD cards at which point I poited out all makes and types of GPU's are affected .It's abndantly clear the bad calls are in STO's code as well... else folks would be experiencing the same issues across a wide variety of games ( or other software ) . I suggest you read some of these threads before replying

    and BTW : we won't be finding out "after today's patch "because it isn't addressed in it ( no mention at all about the directx errors )

    It is a nerf these ****ing *******s are taking everything that's good to level with and squashing it. But it's okay these ****tards are suffering after all they had to lay off people and will have to more since they keep pissing every paying player off. Keep making people mindlessly grind you stupid ****s. This company is run by total ******* LOL!

    Today's patch says: "Resolved an issue that should make an improvement to the lag and drop in FPS some players are experiencing."

    Seriously how many times in the past 5 years has "lag fixes" been in this game's patch notes? You people are diluted this game keeps stringing you along.

    I like the return of the foundry myself.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Yeah, I saw that in the release notes. Call me a doubting Thomas, but I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully it actually IS fixed with this patch.

    Hopefully that Trendy-person will be back soon.

    And New Patch! Joy!
    Mostly because nothing I like got nerfed, there's always those stealth nerfs.
