Yeah, what it says there basically. I've been stuck "heading into town" for about seven minutes as of this writing.
Permanantly "Heading into town..." post-September 6th update
Open task manager, go to process tab, kill javaw.exe, restart Spiral Knights. Reboot your computer if it still doesn't work.
I'm on a Mac - sorry, I should've specified. Reboot did nothing.
The machine's a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, running OS X 10.6.8. I'm playing using the downloadable client - cleared my browser cache just to be on the safe side, but to no effect. The only other programs running at the time were Adium, iTunes, Last.fm's scrobbling widget and Firefox (and that only to file the original report), but quitting those didn't seem to improve matters any, and they've all got along fine with SK in the past. I'm based in the UK and have had occasionally had pretty serious lag and even login problems during special events, if that's pertinent.
If you're playing in the web browser, clear your cache.
Is there anything else you can tell us? That issue happens for a number of different reasons.
