took me about that same time some times i get to the charcther selects screen but after that screw it im better off watching paint dry then play. this patch and the server situtations still need work

Sample weave matching are too fast?? please make it a bit slower

What the Heck is wrong with the Server? It took me Ages to go from a Map to a Mission........

Edit:
After "Hours" waiting and starring at this damn Loadingscreen i finaly made it in to the Mission and gues what? No Enemys are spawning..............i have to puke now........

B/c I was laggin and misread it.

For those who read my posts....you all know that I am usually one to jump to defence of the DEVs, but someone really scrood the pooch on this patch. My client has crashed 3 times since launch. Today.....it has crashed at least a dozen times from this patch.

Cause: Your graphics settings may be too high, please adjust your graphics and try again.

My graphics are at the absolute minimum now. It still grashed from graphics, and in the middle of mission none-the-less

My system exceeds the minimums on the retail box. Why can't I run your client Cryptic????? Why can't I play the game I have invested hundreds in???? I can't afford a new computer, I'm stuck with what I got, and you go and change the graphics so that I can't play??? Please tell me it's a mere oversight, and it will be corrected ASAP. I can deal with long loading screens, I can deal with sub-par graphics, but now......I crash, for no reason, while sitting in sector space.......I crash in the middle of combat.....all of it, graphics related. Not a DC, not a huge lag......just crash.


If this is a ploy to force people to upgrade compnents from those you have deals with.....ok......then have them send me a new puter that will run the game......if this is going to be a permanant change, please post so I can make appropriate adjustments to my account.

Sincearly,
A devoted fan of STO, and Star Trek
I don't want to leave, or cancel......but if I can't use my current system anymore........how can I continue to play??

Timper, what are your system specs? Maybe we can figure out if this is an isolated problem or something more widespread.

Cryptic,

I have not been able to play season 2 yet, to see all the new features...as I have to re-download STO because I needed to reinstall Windows 7 onto Parallels (virtual drive) to play on my Mac OS X snow Leopard software.

That is besides the point, other then to state I have not played to rate the game yet, and to say you really should make STO compatible with Mac operating systems.

However, before I purchase a STO subscription or suggest it to friends or family i will be waiting till the following features to come out, as a bare minimum.

1) Romulan Faction, playable with content in storyline...not just PVP.
2) Diplomacy - Ability to chose what you say in situations (similar to choose your own adventure novels) which in turn, effects the situation.
3) Ability to set phasers on "stun" or "kill", and in space to "disable" or "destroy"..not the mission choosing for me.

Those are the three basic, bare minimum components I would need before really recommending STO to others. I would really become a raving fan of STO if you also made it:

4) Compatible with the Mac OS X software.
5) Voice overs for all the text in missions, like the intro mission for STO.
6) Allowed use to fly into uncharted areas of space that the longer you flew, the farther you went...maybe even being a week out in actual game play.

Cryptic your doing a great job in just half a year I feel, but before I recommend STO to my less committed Star Trek Fans...I think the above needs to happen.

Future fonctionality.

Hi,

my first experiences with the new patch:

First of all I took a look at my ships interiors and I must say, awsome! No matter all the ships look the same, but great improvement as everything looks nice and matching Star Trek.

After that I tried to do my daily in B'Tran... I wasn't able to load any mission as I lost connection after about 5 minutes of loading screen.. then i went back to Sol did some stuff and then tried the Delta Volanis for maybe new missions... again, I disonnected after a huge load of waiting. (Tried 5 times.) Maybe It's because the server was crouded like hell, maybe there's an issue...

After all I can say, big plus was that when I disconnected this morning the download of the patch started about 4 hours before the patch was applied, JUST AWSOME! no waiting time for downloads, when everyone goes online after server is back, but no missions... well i will wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if it will work then.

So big Plus and a little minus for the patch. Let's hope it's just a minor lag-issue. Still thnx Cryptic for the improvements. can't wait for diplomacy ^^

Btw, why do I have to help others to get some accolades for missions I already did during my career?

Cheers,
