Hey,

I got a problem with playing spiral knights,
I had Windows XP , Spiral knights work perfectully
Now i have updated my Windows XP To Windows 8
And I can't open/play it anymore, I have the requirements for playing the game
Every time i open there will be a java (TM) open but not starting the game and if i click very fast many times it says multiple instances are running

Can someone help me please Thanks!

(sorry for my bad english :/)

Can you try reinstalling the game? And perhaps reinstalling java? There are different java applications for the different windows platforms. Here's my reinstalling technique.

(FOR WINDOWS USERS ONLY)
Having Black Screen issues? Wrong/Weird Images? Or crashes when entering specific areas? See any game errors?
Diagnosis : Corrupted File(s)
Solution : Redownload and Reinstall the WHOLE OF SPIRAL KNIGHTS
FOR STEAM USERS

  1. Proceed to Spiral Knights Folder, usually located in C:/Program_Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Spiral_Knights/
  2. Delete this entire folder. The problem is not with the installation, but with the fact that you have corrupted DATA FILES. These data files come to you during downloading, and do not get affected by installation/uninstallation.
  3. REDOWNLOAD and REINSTALL the game through the steam store page. Try to ensure smooth and stable download speed, don't go and stream some video, take a break, it's not that long.
  4. If problem persists, contact SK support for further inquiries

FOR NON-STEAM USERS

  1. Proceed to Spiral Knights Folder. This is possible by starting the "Run" program located in your start menu. Afterwards, key in "%appdata%" to get to the /"User"/Appdata/Roaming / folder. Proceed to /"User"/Appdata/ and access the "LocalLow" folder. There will be a folder called "spiral".
  2. Delete this entire folder. The problem is not with the installation, but with the fact that you have corrupted DATA FILES. These data files come to you during downloading, and do not get affected by installation/uninstallation.
  3. REDOWNLOAD and REINSTALL the game through the official client page(This website/armorgames/newgrounds, wherever you downloaded it from). Try to ensure smooth and stable download speed, don't go and stream some video, take a break, it's not that long.
  4. If problem persists, contact SK support for further inquiries

Can i take a look at your computer specs? Windows XP is kinda old, so maybe your computer is that old too?

Try checking this out, especially the part about updating video drivers
