What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Arc slows down my PC

Good Afternoon,

Since Star Trek Online has been using Arc I've noticed a significant drop in PC performance when in-game. I personally preferred the old launcher. Is there a way that I can load up STO without having to use Arc?

I apologise if I've posted this in the wrong forums.

Kind Regards

    You can go to where STO is installed and run the launcher (not the gameclient). Be forewarned however, that this method will become obsolete in the future (no I don't know when just that it'll happen).
    Yes, I'm that Askray@Batbayer in game. Yes, I still play. No, I don't care.

    What are the spec's of the system that you are running STO on ? I use Arc aswell and I do not notice any performance issues when using it.

    Things to look up.

    CPU/Processor
    Ram
    Video card *and how much ram it has*

    Everyone knows that this POS called Arc does this. Just run the game without it or use Steam. Really do not understand why are they still pushing this terrible program to players.
