Game crashing

[Stilletto991]

My game continually crashes whichever race I play and It is even worse when I run into nebula scenarios.(if I get that far) What is the issue? I'm running windows 10 and I dont know how to properly fix the issue. Could someone assist me please?

So I found out an answer and its a bit of a lengthy one.

You have to put your Async to 0 in your Config.ini and then download the high def files that you can find with the HD patch that is most recent. import the files and overwrite them and then run the program using windows XP compatibility pack 3. Finally Run the program from the actual Starfleet.exe. If you need to make a shortcut on the desktop of the original file but do *NOT* launch it from steam, only from the shortcut. This will ensure it runs at the perimeters you set, and not steam's perimeters. Now you can enjoy all of the game to its fullest extent!

Enjoy!

Shame this can't be pinned.

Still getting a black screen with the mouse pointer

so, i went and dumbed down my graphics and it solved almost all of the crashing issues. Drawback: missions with nebulae are VERY grainy but completely functional otherwise.

to Telfram and Stilleto, I am not tech savvy at all and I got concerned I would ruin something! Thank you both so much for the info though. perhaps one day I will be able to utilize it properly

To be honest, i only had to do the first bit ( Async to 0 in your Config.ini) to get it to work.
To do this , you only need to open the program files for this game in its folder, find the Config.ini file.
Open it and change the line reading
Async to 0
Save and close file and it all done.

Just make sure you are in the Star Trek files and the only thing that it will mess up is the game if you do something wrong, but as its not working already!?

I don't have a config.ini file. There's a config.exe, and sfc.ini, but no config.ini. In my files, sfc.ini does have an entry for async=1 though.

The config.ini is a bit hard to see, so i will try to help:
Under the name it is a 'white box with a cog in it' and name 'sfc'
Type: Configuration settings
Size: 1KB

In the file the async is under the [Mouse] heading

Hope this helps.

[Samoth]

works, ty, async 0 perfect

[DA-PITBULL]

same here when i raise shilds

[Heketon]

So in other words, modify the sfc.ini file, not a literally named config.ini file.

This fix worked for me!

I installed the game via steam downloader so I am unable to access the data files. how do I change this?
