So the wiki is a little out of date with regards to Spiral knights on Linux. I figured I'd post my guide on how to install and run the game on ANY distribution (I have tested this method out on Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, Fedora, Linux Mint, Solus OS, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). This guide also does not require invoking "sudo" or any sort of administrative commands or actions.

Recently downloaded SK again on steam after not playing for a year but it comes up with an error saying "Could not create the java virtual machine."
I've tried looking up on google and youtube, uninstalling then reinstalling java but none of the methods have worked so far. I also tried reinstalling SK too but that also didn't work. Not sure about what to do.

Hello,
I'd waited eagerly to play the "Shroud of the Apocrea" missions, but each time the game crashes within dozens of seconds.
I'm playing the stand-alone version of Spiral Knights (i.e. neither on a browser nor on Steam) on Win10, 8GB of RAM, Intel Core i5, NVIDIA GeFOrce GTX 1050,... with the included Java Virtual Machine for 32-bits.
So I followed several guides to upgrade the JRE to 64-bits, in vain. I did not even have the luxury to try various "extra.txt" tweaks. Here are some samples of the various crashes I still have:
[barely loaded the splash screen]

I know this topic has been posted a lot before, but I can't find a fix that seems to work. I keep crashing when I try to load the Grasping Plateau level of the Apocrea missions.

Here's part of the crash error message I'm getting:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x2aca1010, pid=9448, tid=16164

Any M1 mac users out there? If so, I'd like your input on how well Spiral Knights runs, or whether the game runs at all, on M1 MacBook Pro (2021).

My beloved iMac is now 10 years old and it will soon be retired. I am considering the M1 line of macs as a desktop replacement. M1 macs have CPU/GPU designed and manufactured 'in-house' by Apple, Inc. I am curious whether Spiral Knights will run at all on these newest machines.

So if there are any of you out there on M1 mac, please let me know how on this game compatibility as well as its performance.

so I downloaded the game and finished the first stage and then the game told me that the rest of the game will be downloaded, so I waited for almost 10 minutes and the download was at 2%, So I was wandering what is the size of the game?

Hello everyone! For some reason, I can't seem to launch the game. Everytime I try to launch it, it becomes a black screen and then it closes. I've tried both with Steam and with the normal Windows installation, and both have the same results. I've been trying for days but nothing has worked. That's why I hope someone whose an expert can help me with this too. I really would love to get back on the game. Cheers!

My issue is stuttering/freezing/frame dips, when I definitely should not be having them. I was using a combination of [this guide](https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/62691) and [this guide](https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/12849?page=2#comment-203839), but it seems like a lot of the stuff seems 'out of date' (like how much ram to allocate).

I've already downloaded Java 7, since version 6 can't run G1 mode.

Here's what my extra text file looks like :

-server
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50

Is there server up or not? I just actually randomly downloaded this game again for the nostalgia but when I logged in, it's just stuck in the logging in phase.

Been trying to login into my account for the past 2 years already, still can't manage to login into my account. I'm using Steam and I know I'm not the only one who has this problem but I wonder if anyone who had the same problem I have now, has managed to somehow get back into their account. Please let me know what can I do to fix this.
