I got this from Magits, so thank him. Im just making this thread so more people see it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's how i managed to fix it. I've seen this posted before but would love to help my fellow Steam peoples.

1)Quit Steam
2) log out of spiral knights website (if you are logged in with steam)
3)go to http://www.spiralknights.com/play.xhtml - this will allow you to install the non steam (standalone) client. once this launches click the log in by facebook button in spiral knights.
4) this will bring you to a website where there's a log in with facebook button, but also a log in with steam button, Log in with steam user ID & pass. browser pops you back into SK without having steam open and you win!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENJOY

No need to download anything

No need to download anything new, all you need is the "Play Spiral Knights" shortcut and the command line within

Carefull if you do this. It

Carefull if you do this. It does work, BUT if you click on the energy tab to buy/sell energy the game will lock up. Other than that it works fine, killed vana while steam was down :)

Re shortcut.

Could you please give an example of what the short cut would look like to start it from the version downloaded with steam? (Also, I thought that steam had a different file downloaded).

You just have to wait.

Once it says that it's actually logging in, then you have to wait. It may take a bit of time, but bear it out.

Steam always accuses me of

Steam always accuses me of being logged in elsewhere or being down. I find that logging in with a non-steam account, then logging out and logging in with my steam account almost always fixes the problem

Can't say I've actually seen steam down any of the times I've had a problem connecting.
