I was wondering if it had to do with the new explosion fx changes they made. When I tried safe mode again after reading your post and putting bloom effects to 'OFF' I was able to get out of a loop with a patrol mission (that Lukari one about the myselium rift) that was crashing my game when it tried to load that specific…
I am getting this too! I have tried a force verify, a reinstall. I can log in (interestingly it seems the character selection screen is taking longer to populate and load the toons too) and get to Sector space. Every time I try a map transfer/load from sector space to another location the game crashes back to desktop since…
I am getting this too! I can log in and get to Sector space but every time I try a map transfer/load from sector space to another location the game crashes since this last patch. Got no idea what to do but it looks like this is affecting quite a few people by the looks of it online.
Thanks Jag. With the week I have been having, I really thought 'oh no there goes STO for me'. Glad to hear that things seem ok then. Actually, having not been on since they implemented the changeover of the new graphics system till today (like was that October..can't recall) anyhow, the game seems to be running a lot…
So just to confirm..if we can launch the game and nothing comes up warning me about gpu, and ingame we can run Direct3d 11 as the option from the settings with no issues... then we are ok??
The biggest issue that worries me is, if the new upgrades force me to stop playing on the current PC I use, if my current specs are not up to minimum requirements anymore for the upgrade. STO runs on an old machine for me- perfectly at the moment, and it's set up solely for STO. I do sometimes do run STO on an emulator on…
Waking up to this was good news after being one of the early ones online after the patch went live a few hours ago. It's not that they gave away something from the store that makes me grateful (though I am)- it's simply that Star Trek's 50th was acknowledged. It's an important day. When you look back at the contribution it…
Sums up how I think a lot are feeling right now about STO on the big milestone and the absence of anything to do with it in-game. This is SO right for what has happened today with the 50th. Perfect!
You actually fooled me! :p I went in-game to find it, I guess more that I was shocked that they had the gaul to do something so utterly mental. TBH i'm glad that it was a ruse/joke cause even though I am left bewildered the Devs did NOTHING for today, it I think might have been worse had they have done the 50 ec thing. But…
That's it too. No banners, nothing. I felt so miserable at the state of things, I dug out my old party popper from some event a few years back, and was blowing balloons at everyone beaming in for an hour just to try to liven up ESD. The state of things, would make even Spock weep!~
Nothing I saw on reddit but a funny 'April fools like' mockup of a 50 ec 'Happy 50th' Promo. https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/51sk7g/50th_anniversary_promo_live_in_zen_store/ That actually gave me a laugh. More than what the Devs have given me today that's for sure...and hey, even a sentimental laugh from the dev's…
OK, Im going to be blunt. Whilst I appreciate there is time and cost involved in the AOY and all that came with it, I do really think that those comments from the Dev's are like a total s*it on the players. A 50th only comes around once in a lifetime. And it's so unheard of in pop culture for something so prolific to…
I think it's shameful. And for many of us out there, STO is the biggest or only Star Trek fix we have with anyone even remotely wanting to do with anything Trek. Given it is an officially endorsed product, they really have lost the ball on this one. After the marketing total F*&k-up with Beyond for the 50th, and everything…
I am so looking forward to this- Better be able to get them in Australia cause I will be hounding them with emails until they do. Oh, as for the cost for the 3d printing, given its probably polyjet/multijet 3d printing to get it to look like that, easily a lot more than $50. Simple SLS printing would cost $200 AUD to make…
Yeah I know. I myself wouldn't even run the T6 Connie in the TOS outfit but would enjoy seeing what the Temporal Ship is capable of. That being said the T'Liss would be a cute diversion for my seldom played Rom Toon. Even the D7 is a nice classic that would be fun, but alas most of us will never get to fly any of them.
I have been having it hang for eternity too with identical situations- ie. it happens at 40% point of a map transfer. i think it is failing to pick up and load the new map as i notice when i do control+alt+delete it changes in the top of the corner to say for example 'Loading Sol System' to just 'Loading' as the program…
TBH I'm non-plussed about the JJverse stuff. I personally would rather have the Temporal Ships from the new expansion than these anyway. The Vengeance is just as bad looking and illogical from a design POV as it was in the Movie. But I will say I laughed at the concept that the ships from the Jjverse are "cutting-edge…
HI. Wow I'm blow away… I’m speechless (ironic huh). THANKS SO MUCH to the judges and also, a shout out to those who left nice messages too. I’m so very grateful. My in-game handle is @M_Portelli … I just realised I had down wrong on the cover of the fan fiction lol. Hope to see you all enjoying the festivities in-game…
Oww thanks. I was just trying to come up with something enjoyable :) It's been a tough year for so many people, and it's nice to see that so many people already have taken the time to unwind and are getting into the spirit of things on here in the thread. I know that I am looking forward to properly sitting down and…
Thanks!!! I'm not a writer, but I've read and seen a lot of Star Trek over the years; it's my first ever piece i've ever written so I hope you enjoyed it. Glad to see you were able to access it without any issues. I know repetitiveepic would have preferred the story content posted right into the forum, but yeah, between…
Ok. Here is my fan fiction. I put it up on google drive as I turned it into a .pdf to aid in the readability... you will see what I mean. If you have any issues with the pdf not showing, try the download button in the centre of the screen that appears once you click the link. I noticed that Safari may have an issue with…
Hi there. Quick question for you. How do you want us to post our fan fiction entries. Given the minimum entry is 500 words long, I can't see that being suitable to a copy/paste job in the STO forum. I'm working on one at the moment and was thinking that posting a link here to a pdf containing the story on a filesharing…
Having issues myself at the moment. Was thinking it was my net but it seems to just be my connection attempts to start the game. Guess the servers are still having issues :(
Is this our Halloween trick or what??! I hope they fix this soon... it's sad to have Retina display Mac and running the game at low res as it is, but to be unable to enter at all sucks even more sooooooo bad. The fact it is now affecting Windows clients sounds like someone did something they shouldn't have. Maybe it will…
I hope the opposite...I would LOVE to see Kate Mulgrew reprise the role of good ol' Kathryn Janeway. Yeah I know probably a longshot but man, if the writer's were to pull out the big guns and really come up with a clever inspired way to end the Iconian war with Janeway in something SUPER well written- i think it would go a…
Lol good point. I hope not I wonder if they are thinking the bio-weapon idea...but more along the lines of using the lower lifeforms (us) instead of just wiping us out. Conversion idea that has been suggested sounds plausible. But I am thinking conversion not simply into Iconian slaves/soldiers...more along the lines of…
