For those using a Mac and unable to login directly with the Steam account if there is no checkbox I've managed to find the solution to the problem. It turns out the newest version of Java, SE 6, for Mac is unable to recognize the Steam Login checkbox for Spiral Knights. Here's a few screenshots showing when I changed them.

can anyone help me?

This would be useful for several events:

One you join some one and your shield is broken, extremely annoying on FSC.

You join someone, and your vial/health bar on top and bottom are both missing, even if you use short-cuts you can't access pick ups

Is there a way to reload the player into the level? If you have to do it for a small remainder of energy below 5 (so if you have 103 it will become 100, etc.), so do it, if not at least fix the bug.

My Mac laptop runs the gmae fine but as soon as i take an elevator the screen goes black. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Sorry for my English. At launch, the screen flashes black for some times, and there is message recommending to read http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/48. It doesn't help at all. Here are projectx.exe and launcher.exe logs.

I can log on to SpiralKnights.com, but whenever I click on "Play" and get to the game, it always says that "either there is a temporary network outage or the server is not yet fully operational. Please wait a moment before reconnecting." So I wait, then try again, and it says the same thing. This has been going on for about three days (including today). Does someone know what's going on?

Okay so I merged into Steam yesterday and it was working fine until now. I received the "We experienced a problem connecting to Steam." error while logging into the game. Is something wrong?
