  • OS upgrade?

    Sounds like win 7 is the way to go for me then. Only thing I see advantage to 8 is maybe a bit longer end support , but I really don't see any advantage to touch screen stuff.


    Thanks guys

  • OS upgrade?

    So, with support for win XP ending soon....and I'm sure many of you have more modern systems....what's the general thoughts on what OS to upgrade too? I think win 7 pro is what I'm going to go for but I'm open to hear why I would think otherwise

  • Getting Dilithium

    I saved the STO economy file....might be useful for quick cut and paste little bits as a teaser to give info to members right before I say....you should check our forum....tons of info there!!!!

  • Getting Dilithium

    As I think they will at some point change this....so my question is, if you team up and have a person go to each of the areas at vrex time, does it work the same?

  • Char: Alpha

    BTW...if you consider buying a "membership" for a month or whatever...it's highly beneficial to use that time to progress your chars to L50 fast during that time. If you want to learn the game a bit on a char before doing something like that it is probably a good decision.


    Kinda wish I could have ever afforded to do that for certain reasons....but, oh well

    Welcome to the fleet CA. There's tons of stuff to do and learn about the game.

    In case it makes it easier to find one of us online :) Yep...the typo is my current tag

  • Worse performance

    A couple times I still had icons disappear...so it's not 100% fixed....but it sure is a million times better and much easier to fight when you can see the targets^^ :)



    Edit, ROFL...."they only know of 3 other issues?" yep OP, didn't you know we are playing a fully bug free and completely optimized game?

  • Worse performance

    Hi,
    STO is the only game that I have this issue. I did go through my bios and as far as I can tell my manual timings and voltages are all correctly set. As far as how long it takes....hard to say. It occurs after about 8 map changes on average. Example I go to Delta Volanis...then exit to Sirius sector....do that 4 times for a total of 8 map changes....boom....graphics turn to $hit, so I can do that in about 5 mins. If I go into allied space and just run missions on the same map...I can play forever. If I go and do stf's...I can usually safely do 3 missions with no problem....then I restart game so I can continue (usually on 4th stf I have high chance of the problem happening


    Oh well....it seems to be a known issue by the STO crew and they say they are working on a fix....we'll see how long that takes.


    OO....where is Donatra, the hunt begins...lol ksebork.JPG


    really that's not near as bad as it gets, if I try and do another one after this phase...then I have no icons or boffs

  • Worse performance

    I'll post my spec's here ...maybe you can see something I have missed. What I can say is that it is worse after the latest game patch. It's strange, it seems to have something to do with the number of map changes more than anything else. If I stayed in Allied sphere zone and just did those missions...I could play all day without the graphics going haywire. If I do stf's or just crossing the universe, I can go about 6-8 map changes and then .....bugged out graphics (before patch I could usually get around 10 map changes). I tried things like the 1/2 resolution setting, lowered all details, changed from 1920 x 1080 to lowest setting.....none of this seems to help at all.

    I will double check the bios settings again later, but I had previosly manually set those things when I put the machine together.


    ^^ Today I also see as a notice on STO forum
    " Having trouble with your in-game graphics? Enabling the "Postprocessing" option in your 'video' options setting may help while we work on a permanent solution.
    (Options menu > 'Video' tab > "Effects" section > Postprocessing > "On" radio button) " .........seems enough people have reported this that they are making some effort to fix it.


    Edit....Turning on the post processing does not help ( at least me) and actually adds some graphics lag. I noticed fleet members that didn't have this issue before are now experiencing it since Thursday update...as usuall update = step backwards. My only current solution is to restart the game after every 2 missions.


    Screen goes from thisnormalbase.JPG to this ghostbase.JPG it's much worse in the stf's...I'll take a pretty pic later
