I have been through all discussions here... Windows 10, NVidia GTX 980 cards in SLI and not... no difference. It always crashes right after the Race Selection screen with a " ... has stopped working" message.

Bummer...

Tried this? https://www.gog.com/forum/star_trek_starfleet_command/potential_win_10_fix

Also, run the game as administrator.

Thanks! I've tried all of that though. I may have just figured it out... will have to test when I get home. I've installed on a different system, and it seems that DirectPlay was needed to get it to run correctly. I will try re-installing DirectPlay when I get home to see if it resolves the issue.

Issue resolved... I am playing the game now. :)

Adding the "Feature" in Win10 for DirectPlay + uninstalling/re-installing SFC from the GOG file, plus setting compatibility to XP SP3/Admin, and running config for video driver all did the trick. The main thing that I was missing was adding the DirectPlay feature.

I hope this helps others who may be having the same issue that I was having in Win10.

I have posted a working 3 step fix to this problem under windows 10 at top for forum page hope it helps

Thx, it helped me to run the game on win10.

Thank you.

How is this done?
Sorry. Not understanding that at all... but our situation seems exactly the same.

Works fine after enabling direct play.
