Hello all, I've been trying to run SK on my pretty new laptop (purchased new 4 months ago), but after installing the windows client the game will open to a black screen, play a half second of the music, and then crash. I have confirmed that my computer meets the minimum requirements, I have downloaded the latest version of Java, tried playing through steam instead, creating firewall exceptions, you name it. Here's some other information that I hope can help someone help me!:
Laptop model: HP Laptop PC 15-dy2000 (2D117AV)
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1125G4 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 27.20.100.9664
Storage: more than 130 GB free
Additionally here are the contents of the projectx.txt and launcher.txt since that seems helpful:

What worked for me was to download java 7 (jre7) and replace the java_vm folder in the SpiralKnights directory with the jre7 folder
