As of a aprox. 6 hours ago, I have not been able to log into the game through the Kongregate, Steam, or SK Portal. The game will show up briefly, black screened, then exit itself.

I have tried:
*Uninstalling Java
*Uninstalling Spiral Knights
*Rebooting after re-installing both of the above
*Edited Regedit from the following source: ( http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Technical_issues_FAQ )
*Checking Firewall settings ( Correct ports are allowed )
*Updated nVidia drivers

The following report was generated ( from the java console ) from beginning to end of starting Spiral Knights.

A small part at the end has been highlighted. 'java.net socket exception: connection reset' (Tags aren't working?)

If anyone has a suggestion. Please do tell, I have tried all i can think of.

(ALSO: I have many java crash error reports, which they spit out everytime i crash. If anyone requests them, i can produce them)

(MAIN)
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

at com.threerings.getdown.launcher.GetdownApplet$2.run(Unknown Source)

java.net socket exception: Connection reset.
This, If i do remember, is a java.net problem. I get it while trying to connect to a Minecraft Server (also uses Java)
Im figuring this is the problem.
