Including a Titan X
Can we get a list of what was fixed?
You might also want to add the 6.5-second arming delay to the tooltips for Chroniton Mine Barrier (if it is indeed intended).
Holodeck ticket 2,853,430: Delay of 6.5 seconds not mentioned in descriptions of Chroniton Mine Barrier
You should also check "The Kuvah'Magh". Every time I play that mission, my frame rate drops horribly.
I'm not sure if this bug is still there, but the last time I played this mission, Sela and Kagran ran around the whole time with Federation hand phasers, except for the cutscenes.
You should probably create a feedback thread for the graphics problems introduced by this update. A major change like this will likely come with unforeseen problems, and there will be people using hardware configurations that you did not anticipate.
What about event reputation ???
Are You guys limiting summer and winter events to chars that are lvl 50+ ???
Having the same issue here.
I have the same, it's working fine. Was 2h online and loved it. DS9 is the best.
Calm down....
It will probably be visible again when the winter event comes round.
You might need to change the config file manually. And check your launcher settings command line options.
I also seem to be having an issue with kits, upon patching and logging in I have found my kit and all modules to be missing entirly and when I have brought a new kit from the vandor on ESD (the new lighting looks fab by the way!) I am unable to equip it, it comes up with the dilog about being unable to trade it but then doesn't equip into the slot.
The character in question is S'tmik@mjarbar and is a lvl60 engineer, federation, Caitian. I have tried both draging and dropping the kit in the slot and right clicking and choosing equip. Both methods bring up the afore mentioned dialog and then both methods fail to slot.

As I understand it from reading the Bug Reports on the matter, you're unable to equip a new kit because your kit slot isn't actually empty; rather, your kit has been replaced by a blank item. It looks like there's nothing there, but it's there.
Personally, I've been facing a dilemma; it's tougher to play without a kit (especially when you had an ultra-rare Fleet kit as I and many others did), but I'm worried that the blank kit is a placeholder, and that our original kit data remains and can be put back. If that's so, I don't want to have to start from scratch (I had JUST found a rare Force Field Dome module).
Any clarification on this matter from the folks in the know at Cryptic would be greatly appreciated. Right now we're kind of in limbo. Will our kits come back?
Addendum: never mind. I tried to deep-six the blank item, and no dice. Won't go away. It appears that until the next patch comes we are all kit-less. However, Cryptic has already reported this as a known issue. I'm sure a patch is already under construction.
It actually is linked from the forums, but older browsers cannot see it (such as in XP). So there lies the problem. Otherwise if you have a new browser you can find the Tribble Announcements and Release Notes. Thanks.
Hmm strange!
I am reading this on an iPad using Safari and also a W10 PC using the latest version of Firefox and this part of the forum still isn't visable from the parent directory. Could be some sort of funny html coading that only works on certain browsers.

Updated Chrome & Edge on Windows 10 (insider build) ,.... not visible in the list .... cant get much newer than that .....
Viewing forum with ARC ... not visible ...
With or without login .... makes no difference.
Kick the forum admins ... this one is B0rk3d ....
I have updated Chrome on Windows 10 and it is visible on the list. So I do not understand why it is not showing up for others. It might be a coding issue. I have no problems. At one time I did, but they were resolved. Thanks.
Personally I hope this means kits will be up-gradable, also hope it means we would be able to craft kits too. What about Mk XIV kit frames? would that be possible then? Would Mk XIV frames also allow 6 modules? If it becomes possible to get them, or upgrade to Mk XIV?
Though I've been wondering when they would add kits and kit modules to the R&D and upgrading systems. The kits missing/replaced with a black square could be a glitch due to some other work, but one I am hoping could lead into kit frames and modules getting some work done to them now that we have the new R&D system, and the upgrading system. Though I could just as easily be wrong, and they won't be added to the R&D and upgrade systems, at least not now.
Admiral Quinn is going to need to wear sunglasses in his office from now on, unless somebody fixes the polarized glass in those huge windows!!
It's all a bit over-whelming to my eyes, though I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.
The consoles in both the 23rd & 24th century's do need to be toned down a bit, they are way too bright IMO.
It's especially noticeable when looking in to the Control Center in the 23rd century ESD from Admiral Garrett's office.
Also, when walking from Admiral Garrett's office into the hallway, it's like going from a totally dark area out into the bright sunlight.
It is quite blinding and takes a moment or two for it to level out.
I'm not sure if that is intentional or not... ?
His office is quite dim with only that one ceiling fixture as the source of lighting.
Which kinda-sorta reminds me of the brain-washing gizmo from the TOS episode "Dagger of the Mind"...
Also, IMO, the Classic Enterprise Bridge dome light is wayyyy too bright.
It's so bright it is casting huge shadows all over the place and looks really funky.
BTW: I'm using a Nvidia GeForce GT 720 and having no problems that I am aware of so far.
I Was A Trekkie Before It Was Cool ... Sept. 8th, 1966 ... Not To Mention Before Most Folks Around Here Were Born!
Forever a STO Veteran-Minion
^ This!!! The frame rate in that episode is absolutely horrible and gets reported on the forums frequently.
