I have minor lag problems from time to time. (By 'lag', I mean FPS/performance issues.)

It generally only happens in the third room of an arena or a danger room. If I turn my settings to low I tend to only get this problem when 10+ monsters all spawn at once, then it levels out and I can play fine.

However, I just cannot do FSC for some reason and I don't understand why. I think it may have something to do with that dungeon usually always being run with 4 people. The rooms with fire vents are particularly bad, I feel they may be lagging me out.

I literally got to a part where I was spamming Z to shoot my polaris and instead of firing individual shots I got stuck charging a shot until I got surrounded and killed by skeletons.

I've got settings on low with compatibility mode on to no effect.

The only solution left is getting a better PC. Sorry.

Or try to convince the developers to use friendlier methods and less fancy effects.

What video card do you have?

What video card do you have? If it's an integrated video card, these kind of things are to be expected. If you have a decent independent GPU, though, this shouldn't be happening.

I've got a NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 GPU. It's not fresh off the shelf, but I feel it should be good enough to run spiral knights especially with low settings.

I did another FSC today and the lag is very bad in rooms with flame vents or tons of spikes.
