It just kicked me off 10 minutes ago saying please make sure I'm running the Steam client and not logged in somewhere else, problem is how am I supposed to be some where else if my Steam is logging in correctly? Anyone know why or how this could happen?
Suddenly Spiral Knights has a problem authenticating Steam? AGAIN REALLY?
I hope it gets fixed soon, apparently all Steam accounts are getting screwed.
We're aware of this one and looking into it folks, hang in there!
Well alright that's good news.
Same here, no go on Steam since the patch.
I'm curious is to what could have caused it.
I think something in the new code is tripping over itself (Or tripping balls). I have Steam, and it's the same deal - I can't authenticate.
The patch most likely bugged the actual authentication process that all Steam users go through each time we log in. Basically blah blah it thinks we are all phony accounts at the moment. Though this is just reiterating obvious points.
got same issues i was in a instance finished it then it booted me off came up with steam authention wollop
guess its an early nite for me if this aint sorted soon :(
Same for me on the early night tidbit, was gonna go play Lockdown and then boosh shot off. How inconvenient.
Oh good news it's fixed, they are rebooting.
Were going top have to wait about 30 minuets for the reboot you guys
i'm glad it's not just me, but my husband was playing from steam too and he was able to get on just fine after the patch. he's not playing now though so i don't know if it would have eventually booted him off or what.
steam-ing pile of ***t
lolz
Don't blame steam for SK devs' screw-ups ;)
A new patch to fix bugs. Now I can't get in again with my steam account after this new patch.
Just bumping this reoccurring problem. Steam connections down...AGAIN. Seems like an awesome time to ask again for the ability to convert steam accounts into normal SK accounts - this is annoying.
If there are more recent threads about a similar issue, you don't need to bump an old thread, you can just post in the recent thread instead.
I wanted to be the next guy, save for the Admin guy, to post here that had an Avatar.
Anyways, on subject, I have the same problem. ><
Than Posideon, hope you guys can fix this soon! :D
EDIT: Btw, when you guys do fix this, can you or one of your buddies post here saying something along the lines of...: IT's FIXED!!!!!!
I REALLY wanna get back to destroying some clockworks. Already getting withdrawal symptoms.....!!
If you want a response from Three Rings, you need to submit a Support ticket.
The forums are here for you to get help from other players, any official OOO responses are rare and should not be expected.
You can always make a non-Steam based account. Sure you won't have your main equips, and your energy will be shared (unless a paying transaction un-links the mist between each character.), but you will still be able to PLAY the game, if that's all you want.
I'm having the same problem, not being able to log in with the same error message.
Strangely enough, I can log in perfectly fine with my friend's account.

Wait, what? Another steam user can log in on your..... oh god no. That means its screwed up on an account level somehow. Thats even worse then a steam client bug.
Not only is it borked on an account level, if you check your Steam Inventory, something seems to have happened to your CE as well, allegedly.
I've also had the authentication problem. I've restarted my computer and consequently, steam, and I still get the same messages. I used my brother's account on steam to see if I got the same problem, using the same computer, and it went through. Thus I don't think it has to do with the update. It's my account and my account only.
The last thing I did was that I had just finished a jelly king run, and the moment I went back up to haven using the elevator, the game crashed on me, and it hasn't let me in since. It has been more than 24 hours.
@Vagueabond
Oh man, you're right. I cannot find any trace of my crystal energy at all. I still had 7000+ left from the Battle Pack.
EDIT: False alarm, for some reason its been moved from my main (and only) character to "Unclaimed". I somehow have only 6997 energy now.
The Steam inventory divides the listed items per Knight, so with CE being an account wide object its disassociated with any particular character.
[quote]Greetings,
I'm very sorry about this issue. The developers are looking into it and hope
to have it fixed as soon as possible. I'm sorry I don't have additional
information at this time, but please be patient while they work with Steam to
get everyone running again.
Best wishes,

They know about it. It seems is not easy to fix. :S
Thanks for sharing your support response.
Anything having to do with Steam seems to take a while to fix, because they probably have to go through the Steam guys and a shop as small as OOO might get overlooked...
If anyone else gets a different response, please post it here.
They are suggesting the problem is on OOO end.
is there any way that i can change my steam account on regular?
also i hope we get some bonus after problem will be fixed.
@Hmeister: Thats a canned response from Steam support since its not directly affecting most games. Unless they can detail the cause of the problem, I wouldn't take that at face value. But a unique aspect of both SK and PuzzlePirates is they support logging into another system using the Steam client, and I don't know any other games off hand that do that.
@Artreidis : They'll probably have another power surge weekend to let people catch up.... which will promptly be followed by complaints about the power surge weekend.
I think the problem occurs when your connected to facebook or something like that..
1st try to logoff you facebook or login a different facebook account then try logging in..
If that did not work this is what i ACCIDENTALY DID...
1. close all spiral knights and steam apps
2. go to spiral knights webiste
3. login with steam
4. after logging in, go to my account (spiral knights webiste)
5. connect with facebook (login your facebook first of course or create another facebook account if yours has been used)
6. go to spiral knights home page
7. click play now...
THen i got in.. BUt apparently i linke my steam spiral knights account to another persons facebook.. Good thing we're close
This morning I played for about half an hour I suppose. Did dark harvest, some other stuff. Then while walking down Caravat Hall (2 I think) it just disconnected me. Haven't been able to get back in since.
It blamed steam tickets and asked me to make sure I wasn't logged in anywhere else.
Eventually after trying lots of times it went back to the ready room.
I figured it would kick me off if I tried any more today, so I logged out.
By the way, this was all after the patch applied. Seems to play fine (up until it stopped logging in). Its probably a server issue.
Geez rly?
There's an event goin on out there and the steam bug is running wild.
I've been good up to now, oh well, so long my halloween items ;[
I'm with @Roarky. It's a little annoying considering I had been waiting all day just to get on and smash the hell out of the Arcade's to rack in the tokens. Just hope it's fixed asap.
I know that my whining is in no way productive, but this happened at the worst possible time for me. It's my day off and I was planning to capitalize on that free time to farm as many candy tokens as possible. I even set a timer so that I would start playing before the ME tank was full so that I wouldn't waste any. Kind of like it's being wasted right now...
Technical difficulties like this just really punish f2p gamers who rely on mist, as well as people who are busy and are counting on playing at certain times.
