Hello,
I'd waited eagerly to play the "Shroud of the Apocrea" missions, but each time the game crashes within dozens of seconds.
I'm playing the stand-alone version of Spiral Knights (i.e. neither on a browser nor on Steam) on Win10, 8GB of RAM, Intel Core i5, NVIDIA GeFOrce GTX 1050,... with the included Java Virtual Machine for 32-bits.
So I followed several guides to upgrade the JRE to 64-bits, in vain. I did not even have the luxury to try various "extra.txt" tweaks. Here are some samples of the various crashes I still have:
[barely loaded the splash screen]
2021/05/01 07:45:26:873 WARNING K$a.b: Failed to bind clip [key=com.threerings.openal.l@2fca16c2:sound/feedback/chat_open.ogg, errno=40961]
[black screen then crash]
2021/05/01 08:33:37:455 INFO K$a.b: Resetting video due to like issue with startup count.
2021/05/01 08:33:38:514 INFO ControllerEnvironment.log: Failed to initialize device HIDI2C Device because of: java.io.IOException: Failed to acquire device (8007001e)
[freeze on login screen]
2021/05/01 08:35:48:437 INFOS m.a: Failed to find proxy settings in Windows registry [error=java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\Cydalone\AppData\Roaming\Spiral Knights\jRegistryKey.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform]
I could login only once, but then the game crashed when I tried to open the "missions" panel. Today I cannot even reproduce that step.
And here are the warnings I still have when playing on the 32-bits JRE:
2021/04/30 22:51:44:775 WARNING DefaultControllerEnvironment.getControllers: Found unknown Windows version: Windows NT (unknown)
2021/04/30 22:51:44:775 WARNING DefaultControllerEnvironment.getControllers: Attempting to use default windows plug-in.

Please, Grey Havens, can you consider upgrading the JRE you include in your package? because proposing a mission -already difficult per se- that systematically crashes your default setup is... awkward.
Thanks!
