WOW this really angered me, I play through Steam and was looking at something on the in-game web browser when GameOverlayUI.exe crashed, not exactly the SK team's fault for that one I know, but then I can't bring Spiral Knights back up because... No reason? Lol Java. Okay, I end the process through task manager and start it up again through Steam, it gets to the login screen and hangs HARD, end it again through task manager after eventually regaining control of my computer from logging out via WinKey + L and then logging back in again, this time I turn off Steam community in-game before I start it again because my pal is waiting for me to get back in the level we're on and I'm getting desperate, I was carrying him through the level and he was about to die. Once again it locks up everything hard, he dies while I keep trying and failing and eventually it kicks me out for some reason back to haven. Angry as asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk I spend 500 CR and 10 mist to go back down to the level we both died on, there's 10 seconds left on the timer and for some reason I'm DEAD WHEN I GET THERE. Are you serious? Why did you program the game to do that? Why? I can't even fathom how anybody thought that was fair. If I'm kicked from the party, why isn't my "presence" info stripped when I left that level? Why can I not just rejoin with nothing on me? And why can enemies kill me when I'm in the "disconnected" status? And no this was not an internet problem, I was talking (more like yelling obscenities...) to my buddy through Steam the whole time. This doesn't happen often but man that was complete garbage. Can you guys please fix this so it doesn't happen again?

It's in place to prevent exploiting. "Uh oh, I'm almost dead. Better leave and come back so I get all 28HP back." But we can't fix anything; you'll need to contact OOO support. https://www.spiralknights.com/support/#requests_new

Well this time the SK servers

Well this time the SK servers lagged me out when touching the emberlight elevator, after sitting on the login screen for 5 minutes I decided to go ahead and restart the client. Guess who got sent back to the ready room with 10 less mist and 500 less CR? Already sent a report about that but this is ridiculous, back long ago in older clients it would log you back in fairly flawlessly, now it's like it doesn't even make an attempt. What gives?
