Welp, I'm now just completely unable to log in. Once I choose my character, it gets to 40-95% complete loading and freezes. S9 launch = no problems Patch fix the next day = can't play Patch fix the next day = still can't play Patch fix the next day = still can't play
I just got a crash with an "out of memory" error after a load screen. Not sure how STO could possibly run out of memory for a shader. I have 2xEVGA 770 SuperClocked 4GB video cards, so there's 4GB of video memory for STO to use (assuming it was a 64-bit process, which it probably isn't). In any case, I've selected the…
Finally got an error message after 12+ crashes with just "STO has stopped working." Fatal Error: Direct3D driver returned error code (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED) while checking sync query. Technical Details: Sync query 1 0x15754000 GetData == 0x887a0005 0 NF 0 D3D11 Device removed due to DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER_INTERNAL_ERROR…
I am able to load the game fine since the last patch. However, when beaming between the Sol system and the ESD the load screen freezes. There's no error message, I have to use "End Process" to close STO and relaunch it. This is for either beaming to or beaming from ESD. The process is so time consuming that I haven't yet…
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Although it didn't work for me, it did finally get me an error message. Here's what happened: Logged into launcher (not ARC). Hit options and told it to start in safe mode. Loaded and went into options and display. Switched to fullscreen. After fullscreen loaded, changed resolution to…
Didn't have any problems after the Season 9 launch yesterday. Today, downloaded a ~55MB patch. Launched game, CTD while loading the character select. Relaunch, got to fly around 3 zones. Tried to beam down, CTD. Reload, immediately CTD when it tries to beam in. Giving up now. Hit me up when the game is playable again.
You will have to pick and choose what skills you want, you can't max everything. Keep in mind that skills have diminishing returns. You get less value as you add more points. So it is worth spreading your points around a little bit. As to your second question, it could be cheap for a lot of reasons, such as the person…
Having the same issue, on the web page my account also says I no longer have a subscription (which is interesting, since I bought a lifetime subscription when the game first released back in January 2010). I think they might be having server issues.
You are absolutely correct, for some reason I was thinking the tier 4 ships had a LTC slot only, but that is tier 3. Unless this was a recent change, this has never been my experience. Replacing a BOff skill for me has refunded my expertise in the past.
This content was literally just released. There was obviously a focus on having end-game choices, since most players are going to get to the end game relatively quickly (I'm nearly level 30 and have played my Romulan for ~8 hours) and players are going to spend the vast majority of their time (more than 99%) playing at…
The problem for me has been that escorts have gotten out of control using cannons. Buff beam weapons then your turn rate becomes less of an issue. Leave turn rates alone. I was with you up until this, vinsinar. This embodies everything that is wrong with the people who think the issue with turn rate is about being able to…
Umm, what? At level 30, the problem doesn't exist. There are no level 30 ships with a commander engineering, so there's no reason there would be any ships with commander science or commander lieutenant either. Actually, it's only 20% of the leveling process. Or about 8-24 hours of space game play, depending on your rate of…
Probably because the content was just released, and they wanted to focus on making sure there were enough end-game ships to keep people interested, as it's very easy to rank up in this game. I've been playing for 3 nights (probably around 8 hours of play time as Romulans) and am already approaching level 30. That's…
What's wrong with the Ha'feh Assault Warbird, or the Ha'nom Guardian Warbird, or the Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit, or the Dhelan Warbird Retrofit, or the T'varo Light Warbird Retrofit? Heck, if for some reason none of those count, there's also the Tal Shiar Adapted Battle Cruiser with it's Commander Universal slot.
I have not yet had a chance to play in a "Big D" but have played almost every single Fed Cruiser (short of all the C-Store cruisers except the Odyssey cruisers) since the game was first released. From a "fun" point of view, there's obviously issues with the turn rate that the devs have at least unofficially acknowledged.…
Supporting DX11 is not a trivial task. It requires rewriting portions of the game engine and hoping you don't break anything in the process. That being said, utilizing DX9 is by no means a bad move. DX9 is the most widely supported DX version available (even if not all cards render things exactly the same) in terms of both…
It's a hard fact? Beg to differ. Having been here since the game first came out, I appreciate that the game is far more active than it use to be, has significant content updates that may not fix every single bug or issue but keep the game new and enjoyable, and the fact that this game plays and feels much more fun and much…
