hi, i keep getting crashes in game. impossible to play as every time it crashes it checks all the files *cry*

im using a ATI HD 4890

my machine is brand new. STO is the first thing i used it for.

any tips/help?

i have just crashed again 4th time.

and have no idea whats casuing it.

i set my max fps to 60 turned off AA. also clocked my GPU fan speed up.

comon people someone must have a clue. lol

Need more info like what error are you getting when you crash?

thats the problem there is no error.

it just crashes to desktop, and pops that little cryptic box up asking "what happend when it crashed"

and just now a BLUESCREEN OF DEATH!!!

WHAT GIVES?

my rig is less than 4 hours old. lol

well did u try using the /maxfps but setting it to 30 instead of 60? I know it hurts to have to do that but until cryptic addresses this issue there really isnt much else you can do. If the /maxfps command doesnt work then i am at a lost 9% of ppl crashing due to heat was because of cryptics code telling your machine to try and produce the max fps thereby causing serious heat ups and in some cases from other posters a loss of their gpu.

Try 30 fps and monitor heat with riva tuner and. Hopefully with all the posts of ppl saying its only STO that they will fix the issue.

with 60fps, heat was between 50-60. maybe sometimes reaching 70. but that is fine. so im pretty sure its not that. however i will try it.

Turn off dynamic lighting, and on ground missions, disable post processing. This is a common issue with the current game engine that is still present in Champions online as well. It definitely needs to be fixed asap.

is post-processing in the options menu as well?

Yes they both are. I used to get the BSOD as well when I had those turned on, dynamic lighting is the biggest culprit, crashing me all the time, but post processing can cause some crashes on ground missions too.

With both off, I haven't crashed in a couple dozen hours of gameplay.
