This is happening more and more. I will be logged on with the SK client and no matter what I am doing in game it just closes out of the screen. The STEAM client does NOT do this but the one I downloaded from the SK website does this at least one to three times every few play sessions.
Client randomly closes out.
Can you please post your projectx.log from your downloaded client? If you installed the game from the Play page then the log file will likely be found at (these folders may be hidden by default):
Windows: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\LocalLow\spiral
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/spiral/
Oh, and is your Java up to date? I'm just asking, cause I've heard that can cause problems.
This is from the Windows pathway you posted.

Okay, I think Helios would have to help you. I can't really tell what that means. Idle state changed? Frame index went negative? My guess is it's a Graphics card incompatibility, but I really don't know.

Java is up to date. Computer specs are..
i7950
6gb ram
gtx560ti main card
gtx260 dedicated physx card
3tb hdd space.
Overkill for this game. Going to be adding 6gb more ram soon as well.
Just because your hardware is top notch doesnt mean your software cant break.
From my understanding Steam uses its own version of java. That would be why the Steam version works. Uninstall the java jre and try and use the java jdk.
Steam does this as well just on a 1:15 ratio with the other SK client.
Helios could you please respond?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java and no help. Game closes out 5-10 times per session daily. Not sure what is left other than to just stop playing.
I uninstalled the client and then reinstalled it and it did it again.
