Since the last patch on ground combat only I have been getting regular (by regular I mean every few minutes) client crashes or crashes to desktop in STO.

Sometimes it creates a Cryptic dump and sends it, sometimes it doesn't.

I run Windows 7 Professional 64bit and I have an ATI HD5770, latest drivers. It sits in a very well ventilated case and the GPU temp when a crash happens is never more than 55 degrees. My CPU is not overclocked and all mobo (Asus P5Q-E) drivers are up to date.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

yeah I crash alot too sometimes just standing in a base or on my bridge its annoying , happens alot on ground missions and has a few times in space.

I was getting screen freezes that required going out and then back in STO to clear.

Started trying out another online game, experiencing the same freezes, and would finally end with a nvlddmkm.sys 0x00000116 BSOD.

Ended up going into safe mode, uninstalling all of the video card drivers, and reinstalling them.

Same thing. Running Windows 7, 64 Bit, ATI 5800 Series Graphics Card, Latest Graphic Drivers. Ground Based PvP matches crash most common, with the "Opps" Cryptic Message Report popping every time. On average, game crashes to desktop every 5-10 minutes during ground PvP, and more recently, during regular ground based missions. No problems during space missions/travel. Very frustrating.

Same exact thing here. In fact it's exactly why I came to these forums. It only happens to me when I am on foot never in my ship. I just bought this game last night and tonight was the first time I've gotten to play it. Honestly it ain't the greatest game ever but it's no where near as bad as everyone says. I'm quite enjoying the game. When it works anyway.

Anyway I monitor my temps and my GPU (Radeon 5870) never got above 50c, throw in the fact that no other game I play does this and something just isn't right.

I don't know if it's anything to do with the recent patch or not cuz like I said tonight was my first night playing. For the record I run Windows 7 64 bit edition as well.

Same issue here...only on ground missions. The cure actually had this happening more often though, also someone else in my party was having the same issue until his crashed and never came back.

Been happening a lot to me too, like previously stated only on ground mission, the game keep lagging like there a huge load on the cpu then bam! Ctd!

Found another thread where the workaround to this is apparently to turn off Dynamic Lighting. I tried this last night and didn't have a single crash. Game looked like crap, but no crashes. The other thread is massive and still lacks any dev response on this....

Devs....you have a problem. Acknowledge it please.

Similar issues here, only on ground, not even during combat, just random crashes that bring my whole PC down. These occur only within STO, even a full stress-test will not crash my system.

Running Vista HP x64, Radeon 4890, Realtek HD integrated audio, all drivers up-to-date.

Dynamic Lighting has been off for awhile now, it did reduce the frequency of the crashes but they still occur. Disabling Dynamic Lighting is not the panacea for this issue, unfortunately.

I actually posted about this a couple days ago as well. I'm running Windows 7 32bit and ATI Radeon HD5770 for video. Turning off real-time shadows (found in the dynamic lighting section under advanced video options) solved my issue. However, I would like to be able to run those nice shadows with the gameplay. I was able to leave Dynamic lighting on.

I have the same problem; crashes on ground missions, space works properly (if if shadows set to high). Only having this issue with STO.
