Making an ARC account after starting through STEAM?

[Ricky Rico]

I'm not very far in the game but if I make an ARC account now will it detect my STEAM account or do I have to start over?

You have an arcgames account when you started recently playing STO though Steam. You just have to figure out what the user name and password that the STO launcher created for that account that is locked into startup on play through Steam. Otherwise you can go straight to the arcgames website and make another account, but the steam STO launcher with be stuck with that first account. Have to get Steam or Arcgames to reset the launcher to set a new main account.

Just log into the ARC STO webpage. Use the same log in you created whn you first started the game on steam. They make you create an account. That's what you use. THe ARC launcher will NOT dedect you game and will make it appear you have no games. IGNORE IT. I did a bunch of promotion codes thru the ARC launcher and it DID tie to my steam STO account and worked. ^ free t6 ships. You have to use ARC launcher to enter promotion codes, or their website. Easier on the launcher though.

Don't worry about it not showing you STO game on teh ARC launcher, the devs are not too smart it seems. As long as you use the same account log in you made when you started STO the first time on steam, you will be fine. The ARC launcher is worthless unless you use it for promotion codes.
