I have the game on a removable hdd that was updated 12-31-2016 which has d3dcompiler_42.dll in my live folder. The playtest folder has the same date and has d3dcompiler_42.dll and d3dcompiler_46.dll. My current game folder on this pc is dated 10-22-2017 and has d3dcompiler_46.dll and d3dcompiler_47.dll. The playtest folder…

Hehe, good idea. I did a fresh Win 10 install using a 8gb thumb drive. Microsoft has ISO files with updated win 10 install discs. Just download and use that. But read the instructions first just in case. Mine went smoothly vs the upgrade from 7 to 10 which went horribly. That was the desktop. The laptop was even worse in…

It's supposed to give the warning when it's in d3d9 mode as it's part of the system requirements update. That warning went into effect on Jan 15th. To keep it from forcing it to use d3d11 add the -d3d9 to the command line in the launcher options. It will then use d3d9. It will then tell you that you need to switch to d3d11…

So I've previously included quite a few screenshots. Note that none of the issues I pointed out in the shots are resolved. My Federation EV suit's non reflective face shield is particularly annoying. The warp gate in New Rom space having missing textures. Note that this happens on Risa as well. From Delta quadrant looking…

I'm not no. The only time I bluescreened in the last year or so was when i upgraded from win 7 to win 10. That completely screwed me. Everything got corrupted. I lost all my data as well as I had to format all 5 of my drives as all 5 got corrupted. I hate upgrades. I did a fresh install from a MS win 10 ISO and all's well…

Now and then I get a crash when exiting. It only happens in fullscreen mode for me. Got a few other games that do the same and or they report an error closing and want to send a crash report. None of them bother me though so I don't much care. I'm gonna blame win 10 and or the nvidia driver though as it seems more likely.

I didn't miss your point at all and stand by what I posted.
-
Glad to hear dude. Ya it's usually one of those 2 you did. Some can be a bit more complicated. Enjoy

No to 30 minutes. I don't believe it's the game code either. With a laptop you need to ensure you select NVidia as the primary adaptor for STO. If you're on battery power it will use integrated typically. Using the nvidia control panel ensure global profile setting is set for auto or nvidia. The STO profile i have set to…

Typically this isn't required if you installed a motherboard and installed an OS along with it as it should already be set. If you've upgraded motherboards without changing the OS you may need to do this. Or if someone else installed either and or you just don't know you can always check it. If you're fine don't worry…

I have arc and sto on an external hard drive and I've had it there for 3 years. I use it for multiple computers for testing or playing etc. It's never had any issues. In fact I'll just test it again. This time from my main desktop which already has arc and sto installed. So I had to change the registry settings for STO's…

Dang, didn't know it was that bad. Yes it really does need an option to completely disable it. But until then just do as I described. :p
-
Under Arc options there is streaming and advanced. It's not streaming anything until you select the key you have assigned. And i believe it won't even do that until you enter your twitch key. However it is using cpu resourses even out of the game, 1.1% for me. And this is unacceptable. There is no option to disable the…

Well since i'm in Ogden Utah with Comcast as well maybe I could give some insight. I'd suggest you repeat the tests especially on the wife's computer at the same time you do your test and see the difference between them. Your tests show hop 2, 3 and 12 are terrible. Request timeout on hop 13 is fine as it's just ignoring…

The latest update makes ESD look absolutely amazing (reflections and ambient lighting). Great work dudes. There's a couple things i'd probably do to improve it more. I'd have to take some screenshots to indicate what bugs me a bit. But i'd probably move to other areas first as ESD is close to perfect. Get everywhere else…
-
And they didn't post that a message would be displayed for that. Check what they posted below. Later in their post they said as below. That is fairly specific. It's just another point about their confusing post. Rereading it i now understand i read it wrong as it's just stating what operating system to upgrade to and…

This is so wrong. DX10 hardware will be supported unless you use win 10. Oddly it says you need dx11 hardware for win 10. Vista and win 7 needs dx10.0 hardware. No idea why win 10 requires dx11. So damn confusing. The GT240m is dx10.1.
-
Yup it's dx 10 you can play.
-
Just give them time to get dx11 working for amd/ati vid cards. We NVidia people aren't having issues. That's why we own GeForce vid cards. Not really related but Win 10 issues seem to affect everyone. Heck last I checked Solitaire that came with win 10 crashes. I used Map the other day and it crashed. Like wtf. Is it a…
-
The 250 will be fine dude, it's dx10 card.
-
Of the 7xxx series the 7350 is the lowest of the series. Because it's newer then the previous series 6xxx has no bearing on performance. If a vid card has 4 numbers the 1st number is the series and the last 3 indicate how well they will perform with the higher numbers performing the best. So a 7870 is more powerful and it…

Cryptic got the game, assets, etc, all except the game code/engine in early 2008 from Perpetual Entertainment. Cryptic officially announced development for STO on July 28, 2008. Methinks you're confused. Maybe you meant publisher. Atari was the publisher until Perfect World bought Cryptic Studios late may 2011, so got…

ok i'll make an exception for Pong. Game was so basic yet it's still playable today. And text based games oh ya, good times. The 1st time I played Zork was on a TRS-80. As we're talking about text based games my 1st Star Trek game was played on that same TRS-80. Yup I been a Trekkie since the Original series aired.…

Mine was actually the Sears Video Arcade which we got for x-mas in 1977 I believe. Or maybe it was the Atari VCS i don't honestly remember. I just usually say 2600 as people at least know what that is. We only had a few of the original 1977's 9 launch titles or maybe all i forget. Never bought any more games. God those…
-
You got that right. I been gaming since the Atari 2600 and I hate retro games. Can't stand blocky graphics and 8 bit looks.
-
I agree with these comments. Except i'd probably say your GTX560 is about as powerful as you should go vid card wise. I was cpu limited when I had that same cpu along with a GTX285 if memory serves. And a GTX560 which I've also owned is better than a 285 performance wise. Swap the mobo and cpu out first.

You can try selecting fullscreen in the sto launcher options. Which you probably are already trying. Or open the gameprefs.pref file located in the \Star Trek Online_en\Star Trek Online\Live\localdata folder. You can edit it with notepad. Find fullscreen vertical and horizontal size and put in 900 and 1600 respectively. If…
-
jcsteele, you're fine dude. It's a dx 12 card so it certainly supports dx11 and whatever other lower version of direct x they're gonna use. Wish my Toshiba Satellites worked correctly with Win 10. I upgraded them to win 10 and had to go back to win 7 as the function keys would not work on either and Toshiba refuses to…
-
This all seems a bit confusing. You say you aren't using d3d9 in the future and that the hardware cannot be less then dx10. You also state you need win vista sp2 or better. So let me break this down. Win Vista supports up to dx 10.0 Win vista sp 1 (requires win vista to update)supports up to dx 10.1 Win Vista sp2 (requires…

That's a DX11 card Jam, you'll be fine.
