What works
All game play runs smoothly and well in low graphics mode.
Windowed mode, fullscreen mode (with and without a wine desktop area).
Alt tab works in all modes.
The game has not crashed for me in eight hours of play time.
Sound.
What does not
High graphics mode is very slow and does not allow a smooth playing experience.
Most of the time attempting to walk in a straight line using 'w' is treated as a double press of the key making the character roll instead of walk forward. Paying in fullscreen mode and holding down both mouse keys allows proper navigation.
Workarounds
What was not tested
All aspects of normal game play were tested.

Additional Comments
Installed from release binary downloaded from the star trek online website. To make it past sign in I had to install ie7 which I did via `sh winetricks ie7`. This installer is broken at the moment but should be fixed in 1.1.40 (bug 21893). Sound did not work until I disabled mmdevapi in winecfg (libraries -> add 'mmdevapi' -> select it and click edit -> disable). Once logged in I selected 'Low Graphics Mode'. I am using a E6600 CPU (2x 2.4ghz) and an nVidia 8600GT with the latest drivers. I think a fully playable game that only requires the easy installation of ie7 and one dll override should be considered a Silver if not Gold application. Some one on a newer computer could very well play with the standard graphics settings and have a smooth playing experience.

�This game requires IE7+ to be installed for the Launcher to function.

If walking forward causes your character to roll you will need to enable a work around in the console before playing the game and once finished disable the work around. This is a bug in X that has been fixed so newer distributions will not have this issue.
Before playing:
xset r off
After playing:
xset r on
In general you will want to play STO using the low graphics option in the profile selector that comes up when the game loads. If you have very recent hardware you will be able to play using the higher graphics option.
Any other bugs you find should be reported!

I'm here to test this game, and, with any luck, find what may be the cause of the framerate issues I observed, particularly in ESD.
Of course, if anyone monitoring these comments has any suggestions for the FPS issues, I may not be a Ferengi, but I'm all ears.
We have fairly high standards on the FFXI ratings, which explains why it's not gold like FFXIV, let alone platinum like this game appears to be rated.
My test platform is as follows
Case: Fractal Design Node 202 (This info only to explain some unusual decisions I made with the system)
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X (underclocked to 2800MHz because Fractal Design Node 202 && thermals)
Cooling: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 with Noctua Chromax 92x25mm fan, two Noctua Chromax 120x25 fans on the GPU side of the case
GPU: Radeon RX6700XT
RAM: 64GB DDR4
OS: Gentoo AMD64 (I try not to be elitist about it... after all, there's always a bigger fish, but it seems the last time this game was tested on Gentoo was a solid decade ago)
Wine versions: 7.7-staging, 7.7-vanilla
/boot and /: Samsung 980Pro NVME 2TB
/home: Samsung 870Evo 4TB
With my job, other engagements (Namely testing FFXI and planned testing of FFXIV), just getting this system up and running (yes, it's an entirely new build) I don't have as much time as I'd like to dedicate to testing here, but I'll do what I can.
