I'm not sure if this belongs here. Anyways, I am about to get a new computer in a week or so and just in case I encounter problems with steam, I would like to know whether or not it is possible to log in with your steam account without using steam?
Steam account access?
The steam conversion is permanent, and you must play from steam.
It's why some of my friends deleted their steam SK accounts. Besides the lag and whatnot, of course.
Actually, you can use your steam account on non-Steam SK just like you can use a web account on Steam SK. I have a Steam account but I don't play through Steam anymore because it appears to give me more lag. Obviously, this won't be the case for everyone.
To use your Steam account on non-Steam SK, simply choose to log in through Facebook. This will throw open your browser which will give you the option of signing in through Steam. Once logged in, close the browser and away you go.
Well, you're doing it wrong because I'm still glitching it.
To log in via Steam when not playing through Steam:
1) Download Spiral Knights from this website. I haven't tried using Newgrounds or Kongregate, but I don't think they'll work.
2) Launch the client (let things update and blah blah blah)
3) Click the "Log in through Facebook option." It will then open up this site in a new browser window. More specifically, it will bring you to the log in page on this site. If you're already logged onto the forums, log out before doing this.
4) From there you can log in through Steam (via the nice green button with the Steam logo)
5) It will take you to the Steam website, where you can log in from there. If it is a new computer, Steam will ask you for a code, which will be emailed to you in about 1 or 2 minutes.
6) Log in via the Steam website, which will log you in on this website, which will automatically log you into the game.
Or you can just download and install Steam.
Well yes you can convert your spiral knights account with your steam but its permanent.
I couldn't redownload my steam for some reason, so i've lost that account forever. But the account I have now has gone much farther and is much better, so you don't need to worry!
It isn't possible to use a Steam account without logging into Steam first, unfortunately.
One of the reasons I regret converting my account... although the trading options was worthwhile.
