Last weeks update dealt with the hideous delay times in activating powers/abilities on your ships.  While the delay times were reduced, a new issue has appeared where your whole HUD goes offline for 1-2 seconds are random intervals.  Cryptic is aware of the issue and we look forward to feedback sometime this week.

A growing number of players have noted they are experiencing regular CTD’s (crash-to-desktop) at different points in the game.  Common threads have this impacting players during intense battles, like CCA.

This new issue started for some with the patch on February 5th, with a higher percentage being affected with the patch last week.

ZeroniusRex has made comments on Reddit, initially saying:

If it’s hard-locking like that, generally it’s a problem with windows or threaded processes. Make sure to check your event log and make sure drivers for video, audio, and networking are up-to-date. 🙂

For many of us, this issue isn’t as clear cut.  Please forgive the code view:
