When I launch the game it pops up with a black window for 0,5 seconds and then it's quits by itself. No error messages or anything. Already tried the steps in the sticky with same results.
PC:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
Driver ver: 275,33
4 GB RAM.
Seagate 1 TB Hardrive 7200rpm
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Edit: Java version 6 update 26 (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
On a wired connection.

Edit: I did also post this on the steam forum: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1932641

Are you launching the game

Are you launching the game using a custom shortcut or batch file? I've noticed that if you try to launch with incompatible switches, javaw just opens and closes without telling you whats wrong.

Also have the same problem with trying to use 64-bit java with Steam to play Spiral Knights.

Could you please double

Could you please double check? According to the log, the game is having trouble trying to enable VSync, so turning it off should fix it or have it return a different error. At least this is what I see, maybe someone can provide further explanation.

See if you can launch this

See if you can launch this applet to test OpenGL support. You should see 3 colored gears.

http://download.java.net/media/jogl/demos/www/applettest-jnlp.html

*EDIT*

I think this your GMA. It supports OpenGL 1.4 hardware wise, but I've heard that drivers obtained through Windows update intentionally strip out OGL support.

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915g/sb/CS-012579.htm?iid=gra...

*More Edits*

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows 7*, Windows Vista* (exe)

Installs graphics driver version 15.17.17.2413 (8.15.10.2413) for Intel® integrated graphics.

6/9/2011 15.17.17.2413

Think you might need to upgrade your drivers.

I think I have a partial lead

I think I have a partial lead on this. After reading through a few java forums, org.lwjgl.opengl.OpenGLException: Invalid value (1281) is basically saying that its trying to load a texture that the GPU can't handle (or using too many), or theres something wrong with the texture itself.

Since your using a GMA, get into the BIOS and see if the VRAM/FrameBuffer is set to at least 64MB (pref 128MB if it can go that high). If that looks ok, then you may have to reinstall Spiral Knights.

Also, whats the manufacture/model of the laptop your using? This way I can find out exactly whats supported on that laptop.

Ok I was way off on the GPU.
Video Graphics Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
Video Memory Up to 797 MB Total

So its already configured for the max amount. And looks like Compaq already ended driver support for this laptop.

Theres one last thing we could try. You can import the latest java version into the Steam SK folder.

- Back up the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights\java_vm but don't delete the folder.
- Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6 , then copy and paste the files into the java_vm folder.
- Don't try to verify game cache in steam, it'll overwrite it with the old java files.
- Launch the game again, and lets see what happens.
