I tried everything yet it still does not open on my computer. Help?
Game not working :(
im playing the game through steam and it keeps crashing say the java binary has stopped working. i have the latest version of java have tried an uninstall/reinstall nothing seems to be working for me. and my computer specs are irrelevant as my intergrated card alone can run crysis 2
Jozwaik,
A java crash should create a he_err_pid####.log file in your spiral knights installation directory. Pasting a copy of that will help us determine where Java is crashing. Also, please be aware that Crysis 2 is a DirectX based game while Spiral Knights is OpenGL based; meaning any statement about Crysis 2 running well is largely irrelevant and computer specs are still very useful to have.
gotcha were can i find this log file exactly? and my pc also plays Amnesia the dark descent which uses OpenGL as well. i have an i7 2820m processor and 8gb of ram and a Nvidia geforce gt555m
you'll find it in /steam/steamapps/common/spiral knights/
i do not see a he_err_pid####.log file in the folder

Alienware...ewwwww.
Jokes aside, Java doesn't seem to like your mouse. I don't see any obvious conflicts on a google search, so you probably just need to update the drivers. And since its a re-branded Logitech G9, you might even be able to trick it into installing if the Alienware drivers are trash.
lol why does everyone hate alienware :P anyways ive been using my mouse for a long time with spiral knights no problems and when i try to run the game with the trackpad it still doesnt work heres my projectx file from a trackpad crash

Now i noticed before monday the game ran perfectly fine with or without my mouse but then it did a download/patch/validate screen before starting monday and WHAM craps out ever time now
The patch might had gotten corrupted during the unpacking. Easiest way thing to try is deleting the code folder and the unpacked.dat file from the SK folder. That'll force it re-validate, and grab full copies of the code jars.
the patch corruption fix didnt work but i went through my computer again and tinkered with the optimus technology my GPU has. i hate that technology at times but now all my games are working just fine :) thanks for the help man
What is the "everything" you've tried? Is it anything like the Technical Help Sticky? If nothing there has helped could you please tell us the actual error you are seeing along with your computer's specs?
