The recent server and client updates have done a lot for the sake of the game - the lag spikes that have tarnished the game for years are seemingly gone for good, and steam users can finally download the game and have it run without manually installing 64 bit java.

There have been two notable issues since the update though - the first, and most notable, is that folks that already had the game installed on steam need to completely uninstall the game and clear out the folder on steam before the game will let them launch it. The second issue is that the in-game font seems to have changed during the upgrade - going from a bold Arial Black to a much skinnier font that runs off the edge of many items in the inventory.

If anyone's ran into any other technical issues, feel free to post them here too, but these are the only two issues I'm seeing with this new update, meaning we've got a pretty good start to a modernized Spiral Knights!
