Hiya everyone ^^
It seems that I can't open Spiral Knights anymore :/ This "bug" started occurring about 16 hours ago. Before that, it was fine and dandy. The only things I've installed since then are: Eclipse (Java editing tool thingy), JDK, and the latest version of Java. When I try to open Spiral Knights, the window appears for a fraction of a second, then it disappears, and the application closes.
I'm running on Lion (just lion, not mountain lion) Version 10.7.5.
Any ideas why this is happening? :/ Anybody else experiencing this problem?

The off-steam-client version doesn't work either T_T Neither does the website-based-client T_T

Tried uninstalling Spiral Knights, then reinstalling Java 6, then reinstalling Spiral Knights. Still didn't work :/

The papaya is (slightly) happy

Ok, I got the web-based-version to work. It still refuses to run on steam :/

Hmmm, this might be related to the problem I'm having. Everytime I try to integrate the files of Spiral Knights, Steam always detects the same issues with the same files. It "re-acquires" them, but when I try to integrate the files again, it claims that the same 9 files are "corrupted" or something.

I've tried to following: Reinstalling Java 6. Reinstalling Steam and Spiral Knights. Shutting down the computer, and restarting it.
Still no luck :/

I've had the same problem since installing the JDK

And I tried downgrading to Java 6, but it didn't help.

However, I just today discovered that deleting the JDK (or moving the files) works! Try going to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and getting rid of any JDK instances there. If you need them for development, just move them somewhere else while playing, and then put them back for developing.

Good luck!

uhm

What does your Spiral Knights launcher.log file say?
There should be a Spiral Knights projectx.log file as well that logs application errors.

how much longer must we wait?

So, I'm guessing there hasn't been any news on how to fix this, huh?

Sorry, you have to restart it.

I wish I knew a way to access it without having to restart the adventure at this point, but I don't think it is possible. Go to armorgames in the MMO section and scroll and search for Spiral Knights or just click the play tab. Sorry you couldn't start it(although I don't know how far you got, you may have gotten far). :(

No longer typing

No actual "comment" on this one, but I am done posting here. You can still post, but I made my point.

SK Crashing

Whenever i try to boot up SK it crashes before I can even log in.
Have updated Java and the Game fully. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
