This isn't my issue. A friend of mine has it and can't connect to the server so he can't make a character so he can't post on the forum.

Here is his post. Please help him:

Hello, newly registered user here!

I'm having trouble connecting to the server,
i've read some on the forum and seen others with "similar" problems
but haven't found a working solution yet...

I've gone through my internet connection and firewalls,
they are not the problem here!

nvm

I tried reinstalling the game but something happened.... when it finished installing i tried opening the game and the game wont start up.. these are the files i have in the SK folder atm...

I am currently running SK on my laptop, and I've come to terms with my game sometimes crashing. This isn't the issue. The problem arises after the game crashes, because I am unable to get the program to close once it is frozen. I can open a new instance, and continue playing, but the previous frozen instance stays in the background.

I can't log in with my steam account. It says that the server isn't ready or the connection doesn't work although i have Internet.
Can somebody help me or does somebody have the same problem?
NEED HELP PLS.THIS GAME IS AWESOME . THX

I don't know if there is already a topic for this (probably), but I really need some advice. I have terrible lag/spike. When there is a room with a lot of fire trap in FSC it's not even playable sometimes. Same thing in Shadow Lair.

I play SK with Steam on a Mac Book Pro:
- 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- RAM: 2 Go 667 MHz
... I meet the minimum requirement easily

also, My Java is updated and according to pingtest.net have a ping of 34ms.

I run SK with graphics on low, the compatibility mode is ON and I hide the dmg.

Why am I always lagging like hell?? help plz

Issue where game took 20 mins to launch began in May, I ignored it.. However now, the game does not launch at all!

EDIT: Okay it still launches, it just still takes 20 mins... and the process isn't javaw.exe anymore :P

Hey, has this game been tested by you guys on a bunch of different environments like Windows 7 home edition for one? I have lost count on the number of people that have tried installing this game and it just doesnt work, my guess is 5 out of 8 people couldnt get the thing to work which is pretty poor.

Most people are non-technical and not willing to spend that long trying to fix a game, the friend that was willing is still having problems with the game (white screen now) and i am embarrassed to ask her to try again as its the third or fourth time trying.

Has the game been tested?
