I was playing SK normally and after playing, I decided to update my Macbook Pro to 10.7.5. Once I updated, when i try to launch SK from steam, the sign just pops up and disappears. I redownloaded steam and SK a few times, switching java from 6 to 7 and back to 6 but those didnt work. So I downloaded SK(not in steam) and try to log in using my steam account through the 'facebook' login thingy but it took forever to enter. Someone help? I really wanna play SK :3

It's not SK, it's LWJGL
Well the problem on a Mac isn't really Spiral Knights, it's the library they use, LWJGL.
Spiral Knights uses this library to basically draw everything you see in the window when you run the game. So without this, the game wouldn't be visible. Which means they can't just simple switch to another library. As of the day this was posted, LWJGL is having some issues with Mac OS X 10.7.5 running Java 7. So, the only solutions that I found were easiest were just downgrading your Java version to Java 6. I would recommend using Java 6u23 (Java 6 update 23).
As for the problem on Windows, I am not sure why it would do that.
Hope this helps, and I know it is a very late post...

Smart but blind.
This is from 2012. That's the problem :P
Also on Windows apparently. The preparing to launch thingy pops up, goes away and nothing happens.
