Same here. Any ideas?
Seems a little bit better in Softwaremode, though
Tried every possible config. Contacted dupport. Let´s hope they come up with something.

I'd suggest messing around with graphic options, and if that doesn't help, contact Support.

I also get massive screen flashes with the loading screen.

This game is unplayable at the moment. Every time I start a new game it crashes after about 3 or 4 minutes. Hopefully there will be a fix but beware and possibly don't buy until its fixed. Shame as one of my all time fave games!

What are the computer's specs? Are you trying to run this on Windows 8.X?
I have run the game on multiple machines between XP, Vista and Win 7 and the only irregularity I have seen is that on XP machines, the older driver kind of bottleneck when rendering too many particles at once (i.e. after hitting a target with an alpha strike with all weapons). The old disk version with v 1.03 did the same thing.

newest Drivers
The Game crashes almost instantly after entering a mission. Not even the slightest chance to initiate combat.

I have the same problems on my Windows 8.1 PC, random crashes after playing about 4-5 minutes. Maybe it is a Windows 8.x Problem?

Hey all,
Setting to software mode fixes all the CTD, you can enter your captain's name, all key commands work, and there is no screen flickering. :)
I just played three missions with no difficulty and upgraded to a Federation light cruiser.
Go into the directory where you installed Starfleet Command and look for the executable called config. Switch your graphics to SOFTWARE MODE and 800x600 resolution and you should be good to go.
Thank you GOG for releasing this!!! Hopefully we will see Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates soon as that one is considered the BEST of the Starfleet Command series and there are brilliant mods for it.
In the meantime, I have some Klingons just aching for some Federation photon love. ;)

I don't think I'm complaining. It isn't a video card problem. Software mode frequently works for older games. Since it DOES work, why would I send a support ticket?

As it seems to work at least in software-mode i would suggest to informing GOG about the D3D/Hardwareacceleration problems none the less. So they know about the issue and maybe look into it an hopwfully fix it.
And be it only for the sake of better graphics. The Mutara Nebula in the Wrath of Khan scenario looks horrid in softwaremode.
