I haven't logged in to SK for a few many months, possibly a year or so and the game was wiped from my computer when I upgraded to Windows 8 at the end of 2012. I tried opening the game from Steam yesterday and it wouldn't open. So I tried opening it via Firefox and it won't open. So I downloaded the client (which has always been my primary form of playing it) and it will not open.
Laptop Info:
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
RAM - 4.00 GB (3.87 GM available)
OS - Windows 8.1 Pro
Video Card - Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
VC Memory - 1759 MB
I have played SK on this computer with no problems before but I'm feeling like now that I have Windows 8 + the update, things are not sitting well with the game. Every time I try to open it (regardless of client), the cursor shows it's thinking for a second, then the screen goes black and blinks a few times while remaining black, then it goes back to the desktop and nothing opens.
Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated as I'd love to be able to get back in to SK.
Check Java version ... , Check your drivers is it updated or not ? .. , Disable Steam Overlay .. , reinstall game again ..
