I haven't been able to play Spiral Knights in like 4 days because when I start it up it comes with a black screen.When I exit out it says the program isnt responding.I have the latest Java update and able to play Spiral Knights because I could do it before.It might have something to do with Java Platform...

Look at the projectx.log file

Look at the projectx.log file and see if shows any errors. If your using an Intel graphics chips, those things are hit and miss to begin with.

The projectx.log is found in

The projectx.log is found in the game's installation folder. For Steam look in \Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights, for the web installation look in C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\spiral.

The log file is located in

The log file is located in the same folder as the game files. If your not sure where it is, you could try using windows file search to find it.

But I think your confusing 2 concepts. Application is just a broad term for "program". Installation folder referrers to where the program resides in the system (ie where it was installed to). Its not possible for a program to run unless a part of it resides on the system someplace, so you definitely have it installed. :P

Okay here is what is wrong...

I dont think it has anything to do with that stuff...maybe just the server.Everytime I start up SK it doesnt do anything.When I close it out it says Java Platform biniary was not responding.If that has something to do with it pleases awnser.

Its either check the log

Its either check the log files, reinstall software, or hook a debugger to it. First 2 are the easiest.
