I don't get it, other Mac user friends of mine can play, what's going on here?
I try to play the game and it appears for a split second in my dash board and *poofs* before I can even scroll down to see it was there often times. I've never had this problem before and I've been playing for a year now. Steam just refuses to launch the game :/
I've tried just about everything too. Reinstall, restart steam, restart mac, looked for bugs in the folders, blah blah blah. Wtf is wrong?
I have the SAME problem!! I thought I was the only person! I have tried everything also...uninstalled java and reinstalled...tried older versions of java etc.
I also agree I think it has something to do with the latest java update for Mac...wish we could get some support on this.
So I get to miss the entire Spiral Knights Halloween event just because I play with a Mac along with who knows how many others because I can't even launch the damn game. Okay.
Same :3 The icon bounce on the dock for a few seconds and poof. It's gone. /facepalm/
There is another thread on this in bug reports here: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/67030
In the last post I provided links on how to revert back to the old Apple Java, which fixed the problem on my machine.
@Atacii
I already tried doing that, and I've tried running SK with Java SE 6 instead of 7. It still does the same thing for me.
I also submitted a report to the SK team 11 days ago, and after a few replies, there's been no response since...
I also tried reverting to Java SE 6 and the game client does the same thing when I try to launch it from steam. This issue has been going on for the past month and a half, why has this not been fixed yet?
I'm also having this issue. It's annoying me to no end, and I've seen no posts from Three Rings on how to fix it. What's the point of this subforum?
It poofs for me and then doubles for a split second, one of them disappearing. One stays and runs the game perfectly, though. Also, necro.
I have the exact same problem. I use a Mac and it's after a few weeks it's suddenly unable to load SK - the app icon bounces a bit, black screen flashes for a split second, then closes via Steam. via SK website, it won't even launch.
I think it has something to do with the latest Java update for Mac a few days ago. I believe mines is running 1.7., latest update.
