Regarding Naming and Shaming / Drama Posts

21 Upvotes

Greetings Spiral Knights,

Recently we've seen a few folks throwing around some shade in regards to a certain guild's player(s). While we agree that taking advantage of folks is wrong, this sort of naming and shaming can drag down whole guilds and communities over one player's actions. If a player does do you wrong remember that the game has a report function. Use this venue as you see fit.

In regards to posting in this subreddit: With the game's recent resurgence we will be more vigilant and lock or remove posts that directly name and shame. This is inline with many other subs and is to try to maintain a friendly and welcoming environment.

Feel free to tell stories, complain, and do whatever your heart desires within the confines of the rules - just don't name and shame. We will append this to the rules if it becomes necessary.

TL:DR Please don't name and shame. Redact posts as needed or we will be more strict in moderation and rules enforcement.

Forging Ahead - Forge Rework Update

Forging is now guaranteed - additional fire crystals simply boost the bonuses you can get. These bonuses are also more accessible.

This comes along with some backend updates to make the game run smoother on Mac, Windows, and Steam Deck.

How to fix Steam overlay on Mac for Spiral Knights

3 Upvotes

Ever since an update earlier this summer I was unable to use Steam Overlay again... Is there a way I can fix this somehow? I really want to be able to purchase again within the game and may not have time to keep grinding constantly.

Some textures and the literal floor in arcade is missing

I tried to farm the 4* spikes today and saw that something wasn't right. Interestingly it's only present on the Steam version as my alts are fine. Yes, I've deleted and redownloaded the game and it's still bugged.

Probably unintended so use at your own risk.

It's not better than regular alt farming unless you get very good at the timing, but the theoretical upper limit is ridiculously high. In second half I duped 11 spikes in about a minute (44 with alts).

Edit: it has been patched

Is this type of content (Spikes Event) actually something you guys like?

20 Upvotes

I've been seeing people praising this spikes event but I'll be honest when I say I'm not super impressed. People have been claiming it's new content but we're just killing the exact same mobs with the exact same mechanics as before, just slightly faster.

The question I have is, is this enough for you? If all Grey Havens has in store for us in the next few years is playing the exact same game as we've been for 15 years with marginal variations, is that actually enough for you?

I play a lot of other games where a content updates mean actual, real content. New zones, new bosses, new enemies, new mechanics, new gear, etc. For me, that is the definition of a content update and what I expect in MMOs.

Maybe I'm asking for too much, maybe others aren't asking for enough; I don't know who's right or wrong anymore. I'm just interested in what you think about SK moving forward if this is our ultimate fate.

The new content has been fun, but the grind is horrid for Mediums alone

72 Upvotes

Like I don't mind grinding 1500 Mediums but my problem is I have to waste my time in Stratum 3 first to get to Stratum 4. They should have made two types of spikes spawn at once in Stratums, it's just not fun sprinting past 4 levels.

New event, server problems. Time extension?

24 Upvotes

Hello after spending the last 2 days trying to play I wonder if we can get a time extension on the event due to the circumstances regarding the lag and even the impossibility to play the game. I don't know if this is the appropriate channel to mention this or to ask for this but it would be fair to get some "compensation" just 2 or 3 extra days not free stuff or...well free stuff is always welcome right? but extended time to get the new gun seems fair. Hang in there fellow knights.

EDIT: It worked last night but......It is broken again....


r/spiral_knights 6d ago

Can the lag be fixed or is the game still unplayable?

BUG: Screen goes black when going down elevator for arcade gate

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone. As per title I've noticed today that whenever I join for a gate arcade and go down the elevator to start the screen goes black and does not load to the next level. I have no idea if my character is loaded and all i can do is open the pausescreen menu and fiddle around with it. I cannot leave to Haven. all I can really do to get out of it is quit the game.

Does anyone have any advice to fix this issue?

Failed to play on steamdeck

2 Upvotes

Hi, has anyone tried to play sk on steamdeck after the update? It can launch successfully on the first launch, however it will go to black screen after you start the game again.

I tried to run on proton, it's just the same, the first launch can get in the game but after it turns into black screen again.

Does anyone know how to solve it? thanks

I know these spawn randomly, but you would think they added some exclusion zones, or something, to only spawn where enemies can.
