I play spiral knights via steam,and now when i try to launch it says i go into the game for about 5 seconds,nothing and i mean nothing pops up, no spiral knights is launching or the start up menu,nothing. I've tried looking for help like first deleting the files from my steamapps folder then uninstalling from steam and reinstalling, nothing worked, i was also told disabling the steam overlay in game would help, nope.Can anyone please help me?

The Answer!
The complete guide on The SK Java Problem
Go to your Steam Folder which is in your Programs or Programs(x86) Folder then go to Steam apps > Common > Spiralknights. Now copy and paste java_vm in the same folder to create a backup. Keep the spiral knights folder open and go to Java > jre7(Or whatever number might be there) go inside the folder and copy everything inside of it. go back to the Spiral Knights folder and select all (crtl+a) then paste. If this doesn't work for you I don't know what will since this worked perfectly for me.
This is problem is all caused by steam not keeping up to date with the current version of java since it has its on Java that isn't updated 24/7.
I hope this helped!
Nothing, not even an error?
That is extremely odd. It seems like steam isn't launching the game at all. Perhaps re-installing steam is a good option?
Sometimes a steam error comes up saying "the game is already active" in which case you have to end the process (in windows through killing the java.exe process in task manager) in order to get it to actually start up.
