Hi, im 1 of victim from this error, but the spiral knight team seems struggling with this error too
i make this post coz i want to gather some info from ppl who also got this error
(if u know some1 got this error, plz may u tell them to come in too, cheers)
First, go to where u installed spiral knight
(if u r using steam, it will be *directory u installed steam*/steam/steamapps/common/spiral knights)
and look for "launcher.log", double click it
and copy-paste the bits it seems failing
for me its something like this, the chinese characters r becoz my system local is set to Japan, ignore them plz (for english should be "INFO" "WARNING")

Are you able to access the file directly?

Also, try disable your anti-virus and firewall during the update (turn it back on when finished).
