That's pretty much exactly what happens.

I took a break of a month or so cause vacation.
And when I came back, this had happened.
Anyone else face similar problems? Anyone know a solution?
Please do help out, and I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up and solved.
Thanks!
Have a nice day.
Could you please post the contents of your launcher log file? It will contain more information about the error the game encounters when trying to launch. The default location of this file for Steam installs is inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Spiral Knights
