5. Are you getting a black screen/a malfunctioning full-screen/bad resolution?
You will need to try and set Spiral Knights to its minimum display settings:
Close Spiral Knights (if it's running).
1. Click on the 'Start' menu and then click on 'Run'.
2. Type in "regedit" and hit 'OK': this will bring up the Registry Editor. Warning: Please do not change anything else in the registry since it could cause severe problems.
3. Browse through the registry tree and expand to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\projectx'
4. Double-click each of the below registry keys (if present) and type in the corresponding value:
display_mode = 1024, 600, 32, 60
fullscreen = false
render_quality = /L/O/W
vsync_enabled = false
Close the Registry Editor and start Spiral Knights.
This is what Poseidon said in the sticky forum. I did exactly what he asked and I did everything except for the vsync one because I can't find it. I am guessing that vsync stands for Vertical Sync which is one of the options in Options-->Advance Options. Am I right?
Here is the problem I am having so can you tell me if vsync contribute to it. Sometimes, I am at the Characters page and it doesn't allow me into Spiral Knights and just says "Heading into town" and gets stuck there. Sometimes the characters page dissappear and shows a black screen. Sometimes when I am using the elevator the background is black while all the bars that shows what level you are going to is up without the loading meter.
By the way, I am sure that my computer meets all the requirements.
That has nothing to do with resolution or vsync, thats a video rendering or a memory corruption issue. If it occurs completely at random, it might be something wrong with memory, and if only happens after you've been playing awhile it could heat or power related.
Whats your video card?
Have you tried reinstalling drivers, java or the game?
Are you using Steam?
And if you can upload the projectx.log file following one of these incidents to something like pastebin, mediafire, etc.
If you can get a screen shot of it next time it happens, that would be helpful as well.
