Hi, so I downloaded Spiral Knights and when I try opening it a window appears with just blackness, and then it closes. :|
I have the latest updates for Java. I couldn't really find updated drivers for my Video card. I tried, I really did.
Now here's some system information:
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
Memory: 960MB RAM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Video Card: SiS 651C
Approx. Total Memory: 64.0 MB
It also creates error logs. You can ask for them. They're long.
I think your driver can be found here: http://www.sis.com/download/
With these steps: Download Center > IGP Graphics Drivers : SiS650 & SiS740 series : Windows XP
That last driver is from 2004 though, it is very likely that integrated graphics controller simply isn't fast enough.
I know this is odd advice, but for a small amount of money, probably $20-30 you could get a video card (like need an AGP one) that would significantly improve performance in most games you might be playing.
