I haven't played Spiral Knights for a week. So when I tried to lauch up Spiral Knights on Steam, it opens. But before I can do anything, it suddenly crashes. Its done this 3 times, all at the same time! I can't even click on anything before it crashes down!

Why is this happening!? Can someone please help me!

My Computer meets the requirements to play, as i have been able to play it for 3 years now (and hopefully counting)

Here is what the Launcher.txt says:

Java

Try updating your java and try reinstalling the game i think its because of your java version if that does not work come back here

I do have the latest version of Java! I had it since Monday.
It doesn't work.

↓

Updating java while using steam will not update java for the game (it uses a separate version).

That being said, it may help resolving the problem with a bit more information such as graphics card, graphics card driver (to make sure its updated).

I know SK doesnt always talk well with graphics cards below minimum settings, and was causing a similar error with one of my older laptops. I ended up having to modify the registry values to force the game to play on lower graphics settings (because I couldnt set them in-game). [Ancient thread describing how DO AT YOUR OWN RISK]

But that shouldn't have been

But that shouldn't have been an issue because it worked before!
I was playing it in May!

My Graphics card is a Intel HD Graphics. And I just got it to update.

That shouldn't have been any issue.

Does the launcher document say anything about the problem!?

The Answer (I hope)

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!

Well good news, it doesn't

Well good news, it doesn't shut down on me like before....the bad news. On the same spot, Spiral Knights crashes.
But now we're getting warmer. We find out it is a problem with with Java.

Hmm. Perhaps I havn't done it right. I got a bit confused with the instructions of how to do it. I'm not sure what you mean about selecting all and pasting. do you mean like merging? Or you want me to remove the folders in the Sprial Knights folder first then paste it?

Could you give me a more full detail on what to do please?

Its not you. Its just me hard to understand a few things. I hope you will understand.

The copy-paste is making a copy just in case the changes cause a catastrophic failure. It is the programmer's method of having an "undo".

You make a copy of the current steam java folder.
You delete the one the game uses. (my folders are "java_vm" and "java_vm Copy" - the game uses "java_vm")
You add in the java version you want to use. The java you should be pasting into the java_vm folder should be found in "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" depending on if you installed 32 or 64 bit.
