Crash to Desktop while beaming to Kabali ground during dust to dust

Ok so I tried to run Dust to Dust on one of my Alts tonight. Keep in mind ive run in at least 6 times on other toons,, never had an issue. Tonight that all changed. After running the first space battle map game crashed to desktop 3 times in a row while loading the ground map. Nothing has changed on my computer, no updates or anything so I have NO idea what the problem is.

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know a fix? Its REALLY annoying.

Have not run the verify games file diagnostic.. im going to try the mission again on a different toon, and if it crashes again ill run it.

This is worrying because I RARELY have crashes, lag, or any issues with the game as a whole.


Additional: Tried on another toon, and made it to the ground on kobali prime,,, walked in about 4 ft and wouldn't ya know CRASH TO DESKTOP... am now verifying all files to see if its something on my end. Guess I wont be playing dust to dust for a while.

    Same thing for me tonight... every time I attempt to beam down to the Kobali Trenches. This occurred from the previous mission map, then a second time from Sector Space after the first crash, and then a third time from the Character Selection screen (apparently the character had managed to beam to the Kobali Trenches before the crash?)... then a fourth time from Sector Space because I'm stubborn enough to give it yet another shot.

    I have run the Verify diagnostic, twice, no errors found.

    The character affected is Forest@breadandcircuses, Fed Tac, Level 60 (+0 over-levels). Active Specializations are Command (no Command ship, no Command kit modules) and Intel (no Intel ship, no Intel kit modules). This was a Replay playthrough.

    Hope that helps... though there is some strange amusement that Dust to Dust is causing STO to crash. Maybe if I go run a Romulan through From the Ashes it will help?

    ;)

    [UPDATE] Taking the night off of STO entirely seems to have fixed it... I'm unsure of the original cause of the issue or what the solution was, but it's working now.

    I have a similar problem and crashed 4 times on 2 characters. in Dust to Dust.

    After fighting the Vaadwaur fleet in space I was able to beam to Kobali ground and talk to Kim. Then I engaged the first group of Vaadwaur. While fighting them or just after beating them I crashed. Every time.
    Repeating this part from the start resulted in a crash.
    Restarting the game as fast as possible (~2min) and continuing the mission brought me back to the point where I crashed... and I crashed again.

    But: after crashing a waited circa 4 minutes and then beamed back directly to the ground part. But the first Vaadwaur ground encounter was completely solved and I was able to go to the next group without further problems.

    So after the first wave of the first ground group is killed 2 turrets spawn and you have to repair them. Close to the moment where those turrets trigger I always crashed. When I reloged and those turrets where magicaly solved (Did NPC Kim it while I was away?) I had no problems. -Maybe- something is wrong with triggering those turrets.

    UPDATE: Seems to happen on engineers more than any other toon. I ran through the entire mission with a Science toon and didn't have any problems. Logged in to engineer that was stuck on the mission and INSTANTLY crashed to desktop.

    I will be summitting a GM ticket to at least try to get those toons unstuck because I literally cant do ANYTHING with them at this point...

    Very disappointing....

    Having the same issue with my KDF Engineer. Can do the space battle OK but crashes on beam down or sometimes slightly afterwards. I have tried safe mode and verify files. Only success I've had is starting the game with another Character then switching to KDF Engineer. Tried all graphics on low. The last time I finished it I was able to turn graphics back to high once I got past the crash-prone areas (4K res).

    Well, I crashed both with KDF Engi and Tac. I didn't tried any other toons but this episode shouldn't have any career-specific content and only slightly different dialoges for factions as far as I remember.
