Lately I've been having problems with the game not starting up at all. It gets as far as the window opening up with nothing in it, then closing again a few seconds later. Sometimes I'll try a few hours later and get on no problem, then I'll close the game and try again later and it'll be doing this again. Friend said it had something to do with a failed patch and that he had the same problem too.

I have tried reinstalling Java (and it is the latest Java), and reinstalling Spiral Knights. My graphics drivers are up to date and I have no problems running anything else.

Greetings,

Sometimes with a Steam install you may need to manually delete the contents of your .../Steam/steamapps/common/spiral knights folder before a reinstall will work properly.

Hello again,

In your Spiral Knights folder is the launcher.log and projectx.log. Could you please post the contents?

It looks like you are having

It looks like you are having an unusually large amount of files the patching process thinks doesn't exist. Are you able to get the game running properly when using the downloadable client? If so please try replacing the Steam installation in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights with the known working installation.

Well this will sound weird

Well this will sound weird but I downloaded it... and whenever I go to hover over it to click it in windows explorer it makes windows explorer crash... so not only can I not run it but worryingly I can't delete it...

Edit: Okay I left it for like 20 minutes and came back and it loaded properly, I think I did it right. Installed to appdata, deleted contents of the steam sk and copied the contents of the appdata in its place, but now I get 'the game is currently unavailable' instead.

Edit2: Tried verifying the integrity of the game cache after doing that and it restored 639 files but then I get the old problem again, won't start up at all..

Sorry for the Delay

Unfortunately using the Verify Integrity of the Game Cache option likely went an messed up your install again. Since Spiral Knights does not utilize Steam's updating services their servers are usually a patch or two behind. This results in the Verify option downloading and effectively "un-patching" components of the game. Since you already have all the game's resource files you may be able to delete the entire contents of C:\Program Siles\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights\code and then start the game normally and allow it to properly fetch the updated files with no old files to worry about.

So I deleted the code folder,

So I deleted the code folder, and the game started up a few times. After the latest patch I think I ran it once and it worked, closed it and just now tried to reopen it and it doesn't work. Now is slightly different in that steam is reading the game as being still open (on friends list it still says 'in-game' and I'm unable to close steam). When I go to task manager, I find that a java process is using up a fair bit of memory (almost half as much as SK would normally use up). It's only via ending that process that I'm able to close steam without problems. I then removed the code folder again and it would patch properly and load up properly. Now I assume the next time the game needs a patch, it might work once or twice afterwards and then I'll need to delete the corrupted code folder again. I guess this confirms it as an SK problem rather than java. Needless to say I don't want to/shouldn't have to keep deleting the code folder to force the game to be able to start up whenever I want to play

Hmm....maybe I could make a script for you to repair it with one click. If it takes some loading time to repair, you'll still have to wait, but it will be easier to get it done. Well, this is why I don't use Steam.

Turns out it must've been a

Turns out it must've been a coincidence as deleting the code folder doesn't do anything anymore. The game works like maybe 50% of the time, but if it doesn't work, there's no point retrying until it does as it seems to work at certain time periods (ie: it will work for 3 hours, then not work for 3 hours etc).

It seems SK gets a lot of updates but no bug fixes or technical issues fixed. That's kinda sad since I've spent over 700 hours on this game. I hope they do decide to track down what causes this and fix it soon
