My brother was playing my SK on my steam, and he linked it which is fine and I had been meaning to do it for ages. Then it told us we had to sign in with steam from now on. And when I do, it doesn't display my characters. I have restarted over and over with no luck, I now regret the day I ever got steam. did I do something wrong?

I will just run it through one more time to make it easier to read

I linked my existing account with 2 knights: Ethazoid and Erojon, to my steam account with the knight Ethazoidonyoutube and it went through everything as per described in the instructions.

Tried playing. The only knight I could use was Ethazoidonyoutube, the others didn't show up.

I then tried with my normal account username and password on both steam and java SK, and it told me it had been linked to a steam account.

so I tried again and again on steam to see if they would appear, but nothing happened.

I am really sad because Spiral Knights is my favourite game and I put so much time and effort into my knight Ethazoid and now he doesn't show up and I don't want to play without it.

Please help in whatever way you can!
