* Projectx.log = Non-existant

This is all through steam, latest Java update, and AMD Catalyst version 13.9
game doesn't launcher, nothing happens, and as noted java keeps crashing outputting the same exception error each time.
Would be apriciative if I could have help with this.

just to add

The game works fine through the website, however, it does not include my steam knights, which is why i would like it working through steam

Problem solved

Looking at the launcher.log, I payed close attention to the section where it says "Java Vers:" it says 1.6.0_25

Solution:
locate your Java 7 install location, and copy everything located within the jre folder, (in my case C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.7.0_40/jre) into the java_vm folder located within the Spiral Knights install location (for steam it's C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/SpiralKnights/java_vm/)

This sorts this issue out perfectly, the fact that this is not the case from a fresh install is rather annoying.

Please sort this out.

The issue isn't what JRE you have installed. SK ships with one, and that's the one it runs on, which was what was causing your issue.

Just thought I'd mention that.

Humroben
well

Well, that much i knew, hence why using my installed Java for SK works perfectly.

which brings me back to the issue, why didn't a fresh installation not fix the problem(this includes files that SK would have created in other directories)?

It's likely a conflict between your system and SK's native JRE. Technology has a tendency to do strange things.

This seems to imply there's a key missing from your registry, causing the older JRE to fail. I wouldn't really worry about it.
