    I wouldn't mind the Shift-S, if it only it was out of chat, rather than everytime the Shift is in combination of chat.

    Spuk in Winterwonderland suggested using ctrl-p and ctrl-l because they are more out of the way, for accidental use. I'll try that out as soon as I get into the Arc Keybinds.

    I'm amazed there isn't a thread about the Streaming feedback.

    Arc uses overlays, which means it is like a filter that covers the screen of any program running through it. Shift+S can only be everywhere on the screen of that program, since it ISN'T part of the game, but a separate application - one that they seem to connect to the associated games no matter how you try to stop it. Then again, if you remove arc or open the game separately and it friggs up, you may not be able to check the files and would, in this theory (since I haven't bothered to attempt it with STO as buggy as it is), not be able to fix it without a full reinstall (up to 3+ hours sometimes).

    So.. yeah Arc Suckith.

    The draw back to the file check is that if the corrupted file is inside another file, then the file check service will come up all green even though it's running in the red. So, if you have to ever do a file check and the program still craps out, write off several hours of game time - because you're going to be doing a Hard Reinstall unless you wait for the next update. (Wanted to say 'next upgrade', but the only upgrade I could think of was the 2.0 system, which is a mad bull in a china shop for most people.) And Arc and STO don't have a 'Quick Reinstall' option, even though they should.

    I got this problem in Neverwinter. And I can't seem to figure out how to plat it without Acr, since I click the NW icon, and arc comes up, I try to exit Arc and it says I can't exist, because NW is in use. @_@;; Can anyone help with that?

    uninstall, go to steam, d/l steam version, play NWO w/o arc

    or just access the .exe directly

    Or just do what everyone has been saying and do as @kodachikuno just said. Steam, at least, as the uninstall/reinstall feature which the Arc Loader (depending on which you're stuck with) doesn't always have.

    ARC always had a way to uninstall a game for me; just right-click the game's icon in the game library and hit Uninstall​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I don't see Steam as less bad than Arc...

    anyways you can bind a function key to this IIRC. F2 or F9 might be good.

    PW just change it from Shift + S to Shirt + Tab. FYI: you can change the key bind from the ARC client. Upper Right corner is a Setting icon. Under In game tab.

    Problem with that, @whiteknight1x, is that Shift +Tab is the open/close combo for Arc Social - aka: this forum - when you are in the game.

    Also... shift+tab is annoying in itself since that interrupts my ability to play Champions Online. (hold shift to block, use tab to select next enemy... oh wait....

    Oddly enough, you'll a lot more people there than you will in STO.

    I think abandon ware is better than vapor ware. at least it got finished at some time. :p But they actually are adding new things to CO, mostly small ones. this year they made the open world boss in their Christmas event even more annoying. :p

    except CoT isn't vaporware. Its also been in development a rather short time, and being done by a small team.
