Go to the "Display" tab in Options and switch the topmost drop menu to DirectX9 (it defaults to "auto"). Then close and restart the game. You'll still get the error text when you load the game, but it shouldn't crash (I have the same GPU and this fixed it for me.)
I can confirm that on Windows at least, switching to DX9 fixes my issue in OP Just like the last time this sort of thing happened. Not sure about Macs. It seems to only be happening on dedi-GPUs. The fact that it's "wrapped" and not native complicates things. Cider doesn't actually support full-fat DX11 afaik. You're…
Personally, I'm all for this if the new system is well implemented. The old crafting system is something of an anachronism. The sole unique/useful items obtainable from it is the Aegis set, which is one of the best things to get soon after starting out. But even that has had its endgame uses largely supplanted by the glut…
I can confirm as well that junction 32 is not working. Here's the odd part: When near Junction 32, and you "reroute" it, it awards a small amount of XP as if you had rerouted it successfully. However, the game does not detect this. I can sit there all day and keep rerouting it, and it will continue to award the tiny amount…
Once I get high enough in this newfangled rep system I'll be sure to give the MACO stuff a look. I have always preferred resilient shields, with Emitter Amplifiers buffing the regen. And perhaps I'll quit hitting "ignore" on all the fleet invites- that gear looks pretty dandy. Man, I've been away a while! After trying some…
"Diminishing returns" can be construed many different ways. As it is now, the buff level for three, say, Phaser Relays is fixed, but based on the base power of each weapon, NOT the post-buff number or after skills. In short, each one adds a percentage of the base power, and three Mark X white phaser relays would all add…
DHCs seem the way to go these days. I'll yank one of those and the Neutronium off my secondary and stick them on my primary. I can afford the lower refire rate with the maneuverability I have. I did like the EPS console for debuff recovery and being ready for action faster after a Full Impulse. But then, that's why I got…
