Game launches through steam, does not launch through site/shortcut
Lun, 08/01/2016 - 21:56
If done through the desktop launch shortcut, javaw.exe launches and closes, and if done through the site jp2launcher starts fine (using internet explorer).
The java.exe process, in both cases, starts up, briefly starts consuming resources, and then my entire monitor goes black for about 1.5 seconds (no audio interruption). Upon returning, java.exe is using less memory than the full launched game would normally, and appears to be essentially idle. If I attempt to relaunch the game, the process repeats, stacking up tasks (I can terminate the processes through task manager with no complaint).
I've updated everything/restarted, reinstalled etc.

This has never happened before to me. I converted to windows 10 a few days ago, from windows 7, and I have tried changing the java processes' compatability. To reiterate, the steam launch works perfectly, but this is not useful to me because my main account is stuck with Kongregate (has been since 2011).

maybe try the java vm that comes with the Steam version, the downloaded one uses your system Java I believe.

@flowchart
...presuming that changing the vm is as simple as redirecting the launch shortcut (the one in my own installed version folder) to the javaw.exe in the steamapps spiral knights binaries folder... it worked. I guess java can't install properly on my computer?
The java website thinks that my java is installed perfectly, and I have fully uninstalled and reinstalled my system's java already.

Try to copy code, java_vm,
Try to copy code, java_vm, native folders from Steam version.
Upon changing my game video settings (by launching the game through steam, changing from fullscreen to windowed), I have eliminated the 1.5 seconds of blank screen on launch attempt.
(all other behaviors the same, game doesn't launch).
