the client says there's probably a network outage
Is the game down, or is it just for me :(
Yup Steam & OOO messed up something again Giannii I'm locked out too.
There was an auction a friend wanted me to win, got kicked out as soon as I finished FSC... hopefully he wont be mad at me tomorrow :S
Ah just learned the auction has way to go, off to Skyward Sword then!
edit2: thanks rommil but check edit 1 :D, although ill message you if this lasts an entire day lol
Down load the Spiral Knights Game directly from the webpage, sync your account to your facebook, and then use the SK you just downloaded and log on using your facebook, viola, when steam lets you down there is a solution.
what item and how high are you willing to go. i can try to get it for you
I can't log into my steam character on either their client or SK's own client. Yet I can log into my non steam character on both clients just fine. I don't think the problem is entirely Steam's fault.
Thought I could be wrong, I'm clueless as to what is going on.
link your steam account to your facebook, have facebook openn in the browser when you open non steam spiral knights click the facebook button to log on as a steam knight
would like to see this fixed asap, been nearly an hour now. wish i would of never returned to haven after my run lol....
i think it might have something to do with steam going into a possible maintenance state a few hours go, so my guess is valve messed with something that apparently broke the connectivity between steam and the SK servers
Well. When I logged on it says I may be logged on from another computer. When I went to change my password 8 unread emails where read. Hopefully all my energy isin't gone. :(
How to link steam account with facebook account ?
Does it again. This maintenance seems to have effected, Steam Store, Steam News and Steam Community. It's probably some change in how Open Steam ID is authenticated.
Best Part:
Its still not fixed after 2 hours.
Been saying the same thing to me, network is down yadda yadda. I think either they are working on this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=320851477942178&set=a.20457179957...
OR they just broke something HAHAHA XD
FIX IT!!! >:|
Please ^-^;
is this steam only or does it affect the client to? (if all then i think they are boycotting the vanaduke gate!!! hahaha)
steam only. It has to so with the steam backend server update today.
they better give us a free mist tank or sumshiz cause im raging >:3
Why is Spiral Knights on Steam is affected when they comment gameplays and content downloads aren't affected?
"Content downloads and game play should not be affected."
):
steam is working though, but steam --> SK is not working properly =w=
@Eurydice You say that in the past tense, but it's still not working.
I checked some other steam games, no problems. Also, this was from several hours ago.. :( Tonight was gonna be the first night I could do more delving into the Clockworks in a while.
Hmm, I had a report that it was up.
It is just Steam, however. We didn't do a release today, so nothing on our end changed.
Eurydice, is there any chance or possibility we will be able to ever un-tie our accounts from steam and just use the standalone from spiral knights website. Steam on mac is a bit broken and I was wondering if at all we'd be able to un-link an account:/
i cant play =( i've been wanting to play all day! and icome at night and its down <.< i really really HATE steam DRM, and now this... D:
and my friend bought elevetor passessss duuuuuuuuuudeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This sucks since i bought the pass :(
what Josebrocha, if i knew (well i could have guessed) that SK would act up on steam i would have used the client instead of steam... :( but i don't want to create a new knight just to get my account off steam. (and basicly because of steam my ME and everything is just going to waste... very nice, very nice indeed...)
@Eurydice
"It is just Steam, however. We didn't do a release today, so nothing on our end changed."
hmmm... That's funny, because Steam is working fine in every other way... This is my only Steam game that will not load.
The downtime has been going for hours. It was announced to be brief, but this is obviously not the case.
I have an elevator pass as well. Too bad I am not able to use it to its fullest potential right now >.> And omg, I LOL'D At This -> http://i.imgur.com/4RmBP.jpg
yeah, but apparently they'll be doing another maintenance in about 20ish minutes

*Edit* ^ Ah okay, maybe it'll be up after that?
Still a problem for me. I was playing just fine earlier today. The heck.. :/
stay up till midnight just to see if MAYBE a steam update will fix this. I have class early! This saddens me so much! I just wanted to play tonight.
Yeah all my Steam games work fine too, EXCEPT SPIRAL KNIGHTS!!!!! This is bs! I wish there was some sort of heads up or warning before any update or maintenance was gonna be done. You post that link but I never got that message and thats the first time I ever saw it. I'm pissed. I've been siting on 100 ME all day completely unable to deplete it AND! i have an elevator pass so I'm just losing money (real money mind you) every minute this continues, and given OOO prior track record i dont feel i'll be given any compensation especially now since they say "its Steam not us" even though its the ONLY steam game that doesn't work.
Nothing on your end has changed, ok. But other steam games work fine, its just SK having trouble letting Steam players in. Maybe SK player database is just logged out of Steam?
Try rebooting the game.
"We have an unexpected reboot in 10 minutes" certainly not the best news, but... waiting for 9 hours for the scheduled maintenance reboot is worse than that. Thats my personal opinion as a Steam player :)
If its entirely Steam fault, why other Steam games (including other MMOs) work just fine? Why am I able to log in and post on forums using my Steam ID? Maybe its not entirely Steam fault but failure of communication between Steam and SK? We know that you know that the problem exists, and we know that you do nothing about it. And thats the worst kind of knowledge we could have. Its better to stay quiet than to say "but we didn't change anything! It must be THEIR fault!"
Either try to fix it or make it look like you don't know there is a problem.
Thank you for fixing the problem!!! In advance :)
PS: elevator pass 1 day wasted.
Yeah I feel like I am losing money as well, being as I bought the pass. -.- Le Sigh....Come one guys...really..
well, steam just went into maintenance mode, lets start praying guys :<
ugh this realy is anoying... how many times that valve did this to me! i want to play before i go to bed (and can't play untill i'm back from work and did all the other stuff) and now AGAIN i can't do it because they screwed up... why don't i just send them some of my money? when ever i pay for something they screw up like this :( an other day down the drain thanks to valve!!!!
Kickthebucket
If its Valve's problem, why post here? Valve has its own support and they do their best to help you. Go and make a support ticket.
Update. Still not working. How long has this been going on now?!
And yup, still down for me as well.
Edit: Looks like it's working again!
and yes steam is yet again broken
