So far, I haven't experienced the random crashes many of you report—and I feel for you, guys—but after the last patches, I have gotten consistent crashes whenever I dock and the CQ is loading. It gets as far as the loading bar showing and the background sound playing, then it crashes to the desktop, sometimes with an overflow error, more frequently with some "exception raised" message. Do I wish to debug? I've clicked both yes and no without seeing any difference: each prompts the client to quit.

I know this could be resolved by turning CQ off, but I like that feature—what can I say? I wonder if the trouble is related to the same problem that made the Devs recommend lowering the graphics settings for character creation, but I've tried setting the in-station graphics as well as the shaders to lower settings, to no avail.

Anyone else experience this particular issue?

That has been the only time that the game has crashed for me as well. I decided to take a quick look at the CQ and found thT they looked nices but movement was up there with 2nd life. I exited the station and did my think came back and while it was trying to load the CQ it crashed on my.
I did managed to exit the CQ before the game crashed again when I logged backed on.
I think the trick will be to dock then after its done docking then enter CQ then before undocking exit CQ first.

Sound idea. If that works, it'll be an acceptable workaround... going to try it out right now.

Hmmm... worked a couple of times, then crashed on the transition from ship spinning to CQ. Weird. Definitely some hitch where the CQ content was frankensteined onto the game... sigh...

Same crash, with message "Runtime Error... Abnormal Program Termination."

Now I've seen it all.
