    Steam Overlay not working again on Mac after Forging Ahead update

    I can't access Steam Overlay again after this update. Will Steam Overlay on Mac get fixed again at some point? I hope so since I would like to make purchases again someday. Especially if another cosmetic I like appears in the supply depot.

    Forums back for good?

    Hello,

    I played on release years ago, saw the game pop back up recently, and wanted to have a go at it again. I only have 1 character on my account and have not played or made any characters on the steam version of the game. I am unable to convert my account to a steam account. I am receiving the following error.

    "Invalid Steam UserID Ticket. Try logging out, quitting steam completely and trying again."

    The mechanism to reconnect to a an ongoing party when the client has been terminated broke

    My controller stopped working when entering that black obsidian map from Apocrea event.
    I could still type with my keyboard.
    I killed my client, restarted it and logged in again, hoping to return to my party. It hangs after that forever. This was the second time I tried that (and also only the second time my controller stopped working in that map; it never stopped working in other maps, so i dont really mind yet).
    I doubt it will help, but this is the projectx.log after the restart:

    2026/05/20 21:41:51:089 INFO P$a.b: Logging to '/home/oz/steam-spiral-knights/projectx.log'.

    [FIXED] My game doesnt have Obsidian Obstacle and it causes UI glitch

    This only seems to happen on the apocrea mission so far, and does not happen when I am solo. it only happens when I am with 2 friends. We all have auto-advance turned on.
    This takes up most of the centre of the screen and basically makes the game unplayable for this mission.

    I am on arch linux, niri compositor (wayland) with amd cpu and gpu.

    issues launching the game after 2026/05/11 update

    Ever since yesterday, I can no longer login into the game. The process fails at the little update window that gets launched first before the actual game opens up.

    I am playing via the standalone client from the website with my windows 10 PC.

    When I double click the executeable, following happens:
    - a little window with the title ,,Spiral Knights" pops up
    - a bar gets stuck at 28% or 39% when saying ,,Verifizieren der Daten"

    Troubles logging in

    Hello, returning player here. Been a good while since I last touched the game, some 5 or 6 years, give or take, but the recent upsurge of updates have relit the old spark of even older days back when Sega was still in charge, Mist Energy was a thing and Forging didn't even exist. And I guess there were no pets back then either. But I digress.

    The problem appears to be one with connection.
