For about three hours now, I haven’t been able to log in with my main knight. My alt account and the other knights on my main account work perfectly fine, but whenever I try to log in with my main knight, the client gets stuck loading the “Ready Room.”

I was in Arcade farming the new update when, for some reason, the game started acting strangely and my friends list and guild list became bugged. I decided to restart the client like I normally would, but ever since then I haven’t been able to log back in with that knight.

From what I understand, there are several other players experiencing the exact same issue.

Same exact issue. My main knight is stuck endlessly trying to load into the ready room on the title screen. Verified my cache, restarted my Steam and PC, nothing worked. Out of curiosity, I made a new knight in one of the empty slots and that ended up working with no issues.

I don't plan on investing time into starting all over again.

Might be a bit of a stretch, but does someone who HASN'T crafted the new Slicer had this issue?

I could load in after the maintenance, ran into same issue after

Same issue here. I was able to load into the game with my main knight directly after the 2026/08/12 Scheduled Maintenance (after the steam update but before the Spikes/Discguns was properly released), but returning hours later I tried again and found myself stuck on the knight select screen.

@Abberdine: I've played on the preview server with my main knight, I believe I did buy the 2* Slicer but haven't crafted any of the others.

My 2nd knight on the same account, which I didn't load into the Preview Server nor recently, was able to load into the game as normal.

Facing the same issue

Game was working fine while I was grinding the materials, nothing abnormal.
Shortly after crafting the 2* Slicer, I noticed my Social window wasn't updating and neither was the chat.
Upon restarting the client, I was no longer able to login into my main Knight.
Similar to others, my other Knight on the same account (didn't participate in the event) is unaffected.

Me as well.

Main can't load in, haven't done much event farming, as about 30 minutes after I started it did the same to me, restarting causing me to get stuck in a eternal loop of "Entering Ready Room"

Same issue

After crafting the 2* slicer everything just kinda stopped working. Auction house, depot, whisper/ guild chat, etc..
After restarting the game i wasnt able to and still havent been able to log on the knight that crafted it
My 3-1 ranked knight on the same account was able to log on though and my other standalone account works as well

Issue that was not present the day before

Well, on August 20, the game was working fine, but today, August 21, out of the blue, I can't even select a character anymore, and when I try, it freezes. After restarting it many times, it finally works. Im not sure if having crafter the 2* slicer has to do with this but i dont know.

Thanks everyone for the detailed reports!

If you're still running into this after today's patch, try changing your server region (ESC menu, General tab, before selecting your knight) and see if that gets you past it.

If that doesn't work, please send a bug report right away with F2 or the /bug command, then follow up with us by email at support@spiralknights.com including the name of the affected knight so we can look into it directly. ⚙️

Greetings knights!

If this is still happening and you send a /bug before selecting your knight, please include your knight name in the message. Thank you!
