Startup Errors

When ARC is loading, a loading screen appears and the bottom-left corner displays the current initialization step. If loading seems to pause for a while, ARC may still be initializing or synchronizing a large amount of data. During this time, any robot skill updates in the Skill Store will also sync if an internet connection is available.

Cef Chromium Embedded Browser

ARC uses a Chromium Embedded Browser (WebView) for rich media content, including Blockly. If you see an error similar to the example below, a required redistributable library may be missing from your system.
