Game freezes, but my movements still go through. Will not unfreeze.
Mon, 04/25/2016 - 20:51
Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-4200U CPU 1.60 GHZ 2.30 GHZ
RAM: 8 GB
System Type: 64-bit OS, x64 based processor
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400
OS: Windows 10
My issue is sometimes, the game decides to freeze and it won't unfreeze, but I would still be able to hear my movements and whatnot. I can only close the game at this point and this is really annoying as it is pretty frequent. I have tried updating my drivers and graphics driver online and I also updated my Java. I tried both of these and this issue is still persistent. I don't know what else to do and I hope somebody out there has an similar issue as me. The issue with trying to play with this problem is that I usually leave people while playing Arcade and that sucks. I attempted many ways to try to fix this, but to no avail.
Thank you for trying if you will.

Results are here!
I've been playing with my laptop for awhile now and I've been playing different game with it. I play games that need even higher specs than Spiral Knights and that runs smoothly. So, I would say that I am able to run other games without an issue and this issue is only prevalent when I play Spiral Knights.
I did as you said and moderated my memory usage and the way it acts is that it increases slowly up to a certain point and then decides to freeze the game, leaving me with the situation I've mentioned.
Here is my file:///C:/Users/Anthony/Desktop/projectx.log
I hope I did it correctly cause I'm not the best at formatting.
Hope we find a solution!
EDIT: I would like to say that this happens most in an Arena for some reason.

Hi Anthony.
Upload your log to Dropbox.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
I was going to say that you need to upload your log to a place, but then I realized that you've already done that. :P
The line
2016/04/27 13:18:38:965 WARNING K$a.b: Frame index went negative! [anim=drop, fidx=-1, accum=-0.38, elapsed=-0.046, frames=-1]
probably is caused by the freeze. Do you have the 32-bit version of Java, or the 64-bit version? This sounds like the number got too big and rolled over, causing something to go negative. If you don't have the 64-bit version of Java, I suggest you try getting it and then testing Spiral Knights again.
I don't expect this to fully fix the issue; just make it so that it takes much longer to kick in. Unfortunately the source of the problem seems to be a glitch, but using 64bit Java should, as I said, make it take longer to happen.

I have attempted to install
I have attempted to install the 64-bit version of Java before and when I start the game. It runs in the 32-bit of java. It's supposed to run in the 32-bit I've read from other threads and running in 64-bit would cause issues. I've sort of found a workaround for my issue and its just to restart the game every couple of hrs or so.

Oh...didn't know that. :P
Still, it sucks. I presume that a patch from the devs is the most likely solution.

Mehh..
So, I did try in 64-bit and the same issue still occurs and it mostly happens in Arena which every time things spawn it just stops. =/
So, yeah.. happens mostly in arena and when I go back in it freezes really fast. I just don't get how to fix this.
Oh well.
Thanks for trying to help though.

Same with mine...
This is my spec
Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ (6MB Smart Cache, 2.60GHz)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M 6GB GDDR5 with Optimus
Ram:16
System Type: 64-bit OS, x64 based processor
Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
OS: Windows 10
I am also having this issue too....
so sad cannot play Spiral knight anymore with my new laptop.
EDIT:Problem solve. Update Window 10 to the latest version.
Your system is way better than mine, so you are probably fine in that area. That being said, I have an Nvidia, not an Intel graphics card. I can't vouch for their reliability. Are you able to play other games without issue?
You could try looking at the Task Manager (Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del), and find the tab with the system resources. (Where it talks about your CPU and your memory and such.) Play with the game windowed and then keep an eye on the Task Manager. While this may not be incredibly helpful, I have a hunch. When the game freezes, I'm looking for either a spike in CPU usage or a drop in CPU usage. Or maybe there's a memory leak of some sorts, which in that case you'd see the memory usage slowly climbing as you play.
Once you get Spiral Knights to freeze again, then get your projectx.log. That could also be helpful.
Hopefully we can find the solution!
