Spiral Knights will not start

Question

I've recently gotten a new laptop, and am attempting to play Spiral Knights on it, however the game simply will not load. Every time I attempt to start it, I get a "This game is currently unavailable, please try again at another time" error. I've tried verifying the integrity of the game cache, deleting the local content and reinstalling, rebooting my computer... nothing works. Since this has persisted for a few days, I doubt it's on steam's end, is there any fix for this?

Answer

The OS X version of the game has some issues with permission handling. The solution is to add the permission via the terminal:

1. Open "Terminal.app"
2. Type: cd /Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral knights
3. Hit Enter
4. Type: chmod +x run.sh
5. Hit Enter

Then the game should run normally from steam.
