Ryo,
Hanson is right. The odds are your Video settings are too high for the memory on the card, so the the online data steam backs up and crashes or causes skips in frame rate of the video stream. In game, hit the Esc key goto Options and click the Video tab. You don't need to go into the advanced settings (the check box at the very bottom), but there are 3 settings that you can change at the bottom of the basic vieo settings: Monitor vertical Sync, Half Resolution and the Speed/Quality slider. Turn the sync and resolution settings to Off (the video card usually controls these setting on its own) and move the slider toward Speed. If the bar is all white, your video quality settings are High. If the bar is black, your settings are at Minimum. You want your setting to be on Low (one white box) or Minimum (all boxes black). The default installation setting is 2 white boxes or Recommended. If you want to step it down from recommended to Low, you can try it and go into one of the senerios that crashes the game and test it. You should see some improvement. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the HUGE turnout guys. Sorry that I wasn't more organized and couldn't stay longer. Work has just been crazy, damn criminals, so the 12 hours today really did me in.

It was a great turn out and I had a great time.

[Ryo Himura]

I'll be up for any ground/cure space STFs tonight. As I've tested multiple settings and still end up crashing on those two "cursed" STFs.

Sorry I missed yesterday's the gf wanted to watch a movie on short notice lmao.

don't worry looks like some of these guys have caught the STF fever. Im sure there will be more events involving them. Regardless someone is always doing them, after all it is the End Game content.

[Jason32]

Had a great time. Learned alot about the recent changes to Elite STFs. They are tough...as they should be!

[CAPT Huckabee]

Just want to say thx again to all the showed up for the event.

[Captain Talbot]

Had a good time running KA on elite

[Fleet Admiral E. Fortin]

YES, fun was had by all... Good times...

[Bert6583]

The ground elites were simpler than I expected, I think i will try my hand at them more often now

[Cleo Mavendorf]

Sorry I missed last night...but Friday night was a blast! Even IF I got my usual force shutdown at the worst possible moment...

Ya, it's just the bosses that can be a pain, really.
