Ok so, whenever I try to start the game through steam it says "Launching game.." for about 3 seconds, then it just closes down and does nothing.

I have tried everything in this thread:
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1931265

I also tried everything in the sticky here.

Any advice?

Same problem

Im having the same problem, i have re downloaded the game gotten the highest level of java, yet i still get this annoying glitch. I downloaded the game without steam and it works, but with steam it just comes up with "launching spiral knights" and then nothing happens. I have tried everything in these forums as well.

Uninstall, manually delete

Uninstall, manually delete your files and reinstall, this might have helped me, though the problem seems intermittent, sometimes, I can get in after a simple reboot. The problem is really difficult to tie down.

Aha! If I let it launch on

Aha! If I let it launch on it's own and don't touch it. it closes really quick.
If I alt-tab to something else (For me, this page, in Chrome) before the game closes itself, it stays open. How weird is that?

Solution

I think this might be a fix. When spiral knights is in your steam games menu, right click and go down to properties. Then click local files and select "verify file integrity" once it has finished the game should then start updating :) hope this works bud.

There's an issue going on

There's an issue going on where not all files are being properly acquired from Steam. This is leading to Java shutting down when it can't find the appropriate resources. A work-around has been identified.

  1. Install a copy of the game from the Spiral Knights website. There have been no reports of missing files through this distribution.
    • Windows download client
    • Mac download client
    • Linux download client
  2. Copy the rsrc folder from the new installation on top of the rsrc folder in the Steam installation. Replace all files.
  3. Try launching the game as normal.
