1. I still have black out items in my mail box. I have put in a ticket weeks ago and heard nothing.
2. Also can we have the proper transwarp countdown back? You used to get the countdown computer voice and sometimes it would fail altogether and you would get the transwarp failure noises.
3. We now have Kelvin items. So please can we have the Kelvin ship??
4. Please can we have kelvin music? Even the biggest JJ Trek haters will surely acknowledge the music is awesome.
5. Please can we have the NX-01 Enterprise era phase pistol & WOK phaser?

Merry Christmas to ALL

Daddytrek out.....

Does restoring all Foundry functions mean that the critical lighting 2.0 issues (described in the official thread) have been fixed? If not there may be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Many missions are not playable (or simply look terrible) at the moment because of lighting 2.0 issues. This includes all twelve of mine. If reviewing comes back today (without fixes) the only thing that I'll be able to do is pull all of my missions down. That's pretty much the worst case scenario.

So, if there are no fixes coming then any delay to reviewing being turned back on would be greatly appreciated.

-Cryptic launcher autoupdater is broken nearly everytime it sits and updates 27.XX MB which takes ages to update..
-I still dont see a fix for transwarp to the alpha quad from the beta quad..
-The dance of death animation is back and a new bug also just cropped up where you are knocked back by a grenade and instead of getting up you just slide thruough the terrain on pressing the movement keys..
-BoFF's cant follow you properly on New Romulus, Its like they dont have any stamina to keep up with you..
-What happened to the nakhul temporal maurader PvE??
-What about the invisble torp and dead torps?? (Dead torps = Torps dont fire but go into cooldown)

-Off topic this one...Where is the gamma quad??
-PvE queus are nearly empty like.. need something to bring more people into PvE's..

"What happened to the nakhul temporal maurader PvE??"

That, according to the news post announcing it, was a limited time thing, so it's not a bug.

"I still dont see a fix for transwarp to the alpha quad from the beta quad.."

You need a transwarp coil to do that, which can be bought from the dilithium and/or lobi stores. You should still be able to transwarp to Defera, though (if you've earned it), but that's in its own Defera System section instead of the Alpha Quadrant one.

I'm excited about the foundry being fully turned back on, though. I've been wanting to try my hand at making a mission, or at least fiddling around in there until something cool happens.

Last I remember, pre AoY, we could trans to alpha without buying anything, and plus I also have a coil but that is broke too when it comes to trans to alpha....

So is the launcher crash Windows 10 users have had since the last patch being delt with this time? After posting many tickets and recieving the same answer of :

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. When moving between zones or changing characters the game is trying to download new data related to that zone/character, but due to a sluggish connection it fails to load properly. Can you please make sure that you have On-Demand Patching turned off? This will mean that you need to download any patches completely at first launch, but should minimize the amount of data needed when switching zones or characters. Also go to the Advanced options menu and check Reduced File Streaming. While this option is described as for low RAM systems, many users have found this to help considerably with this exact issue.

Regards, Game Masters Name Omited by me.

I still have the issue of game launcher crashing upon start up anywhere from 2 to 20+ times so....FIX?

I have Win 10, I'm on a laptop using DX11 and not had 1 crash since the last patch, in fact I've not had a CTD in ages. Sounds more system specific to me as no-one in my fleet and armada have had an issue either.

Maybe a driver issue whats your setup?? I'm running DX11 also without issue except for New Rom where it gets a little choppy..
