Where do you launch your SK from?

If you don't know, can you try searching for "Three Rings" or "Spiral Knights" from your start bar? When you have found it, open the folder or, if what you have found is the file itself, right click and select "open file location".

Edit: Sorry, you posted before i finished typing. Did you find it under locallow? Do you have a folder in [User] folder that is called AppData?

Don't put it into your search bar.

Anything I type in [] brackets represents something that would have a differend number/name on your computer.

First, click on the start menu. Click on "computer." Under the drop down menu "Hard Disk Drives ([Number])" there should be an option for "Local Disk (C:), double click on it. Double click on the folder labeled "Users." Find your windows user from the list and double click that folder. Double click on the folder "AppData." Double click on the folder "roaming." Double click on the folder "Three Rings Design." Inside that folder there should be a folder labeled "Spiral Knights." Drop the item "spiralspy1.2.jar" (the thing you downloaded from spiral.onyxbits.de) into the folder labeled "spiral spy."

Now when you double click on it it should open up spiral spy.

Edit: Sorry, you posted before i finished typing. Did you find it under locallow? Do you have a folder in [User] folder that is called AppData?

Hmm, I'm not sure what to do if it's in locallow. Maybe you could try creating a folder in "Roaming" called "Three Rings Design" and putting a folder in that called "Spiral Knights" and then copying the contents of the "spiral" folder into that folder but I have no idea if that would work.

To get to app data, you have to either enable hidden files, or simply type it into the address bar. To type it into the address bar, go to c:\users\canine-vladmir\ (replace canin-vladmir with your local computer username), click in the address bar, and at the end of what is there, type \app data\ and then press enter. you will now see the local, local low, and roaming folders. Oatmonster should be able to finish this off, if not I'll check back later and see if I can help you out some more.

Oh good point Atrumvindex, I forgot to ask him if he had done that.

Anyway, I'm just going to reiterate what he said and add a little more. Click the "Play" tab on the top of the screen, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Click Here." It will download a file called "spiral-instal." Open it and it will install the spiral knigts files onto your computer. It will save it in one of two locations.

It might save it in:
C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Three Rings Design\Spiral Knights
Or it might save it in:
W:\Application Data\Three Rings Design\Spiral Knights

Either way, take "spiralspy-1.2.jar" or "spiralspy-1.2" and put it into the folder labeled "Spiral Knights"

It should work for you now. Sorry for not asking if you had manualy downloaded the files. Also, sorry, I meant put spiralspy into the folder labeled spiral knights (post #7).

Yeah, just drag spiralspy-1.2 into the spiral knights folder and then it should work after you double click it.

Like I said earlier, I like to keep a spiralspy shortcut on my desktop so I don't have to open the spiral knights folder everytime I want to open spiral spy.

I'm goning to assume it didn't work, I haven't recived any mail. Does it not recognize the folder as the spiral knights directory? Does the game work with the location that you saved it in?

you just have to drag "spiralspy-1.2" from wherever it was downloaded into the folder labeled "Spiral Knights.If you see a folder called "RSRC" in the same place you put "spiralspy-1.2," it's in the right place. After that, yeah, you just need to double click it.

I dont know you use spiral spy already but perhaps i can help. Spiral spy works if it is place in the sk game directory. Once the game is finish downloading and is installed into your chosen path file you should first, extract the the file. Once you do, copy it to the game folder. The sk game folder is the FILE PATH you chose while installing the game. Simply double click it. if it doesnt open, are you sure the path file is correct? you should place it in the folder which you can see the "uninstall" or the"spiral-install" icons. Hope this helps :) if you the spiral spy does not still work, then please disregard.

Haha, I would have helped you install it for free.

As you can see from his screenshot he only has one spiralspy in his folder. It's actually "spiralspy-1.2 (3).jar" which indicates that he downloaded it 3 times likely to make sure he had a good copy of the file.

@Canine-Vladmir Do you know if you have a 32 or 64 bit OS and if you have the corresponding Java? You can check your Java version in your control panel. I believe it will say something like Java-32bit if it's 32 bit and just "Java" is it's 64. You can check your OS's bit by right clicking on your "My Computer" icon and going to "properties" If you do not have corresponding versions of Java, uninstall your current Java and go to the Oracle website and download the corresponding version.

Let me know if you have the correct version of Java or if changing to the correct version does not help.

Derp, I completley missed the (3). Delete that part and it should work.

You can just rename it. (right click, rename). I'm guessing Java doesn't recognize "Spiralspy-1.2 (3).jar" as "Spiralspy-1.2.jar"
