The game will not launch from Steam. I've restarted Steam, reinstalled the game, used the defragmentation / verification tools, and other java applications work fine. When i hit the play button, Steam will show that i'm in the game with the green border around my image, then turn blue again without even starting the game.

Greetings,

Can you please post the contents of your projectx.log and the most recent "hs_err" file (if it exists)? These files can be rather large at times, so you may want to host them on a site like PasteBin.

Depending on what operating system you are using the log files could be in a different default location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral knights

If this info helps, I was having sound issues shortly before this happened, where no audio would play on occasion, and this not-launching started after the Fire and Ice promo.

Hello again,

Ranick,
It looks like your game fails when it can't locate certain game components. Please try re-installing the game again. This time after you use the "Delete Local Content" option please go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights\ and delete any left over files or folders. The try installing the game normally.

Kirbywavern,
I can't manage to gather the problem from what you've posted. The Java crash is not specific enough. What troubleshooting have you done already? Have you performed the steps from the sticky?

Isitron,
It looks like your game has launched, especially since you managed to submit an in-game bug report. Does there happen to be a different issue you are seeing?

I fixed it somehow

Alright here whats i did, i deleted all game local files and i deleted the files that were left there like Helios told us to do, after that i installed it again and before i opened the downloader(patcher) i stopped all my antivirus shields(deactivated it fully) and the downloader just simply downloaded the game date and validated it without any problems! now my game works properly and i can see thew new accessories! thanks!
