So i recently had to get a whole new setup due to my old crappy PC dying.
I've got a new setup which comprises of this:
Processor: Intel i5-3350p @ 3.1Ghz (quad)
GPU: GeForce GT630
8GB RAM
Mobo: AsRock B75 Pro3-M (CPUSocket)

Thing is I have read this problem of switching resolutions and to fullscreen with late model ATI... but as you can see I don't use ATI.
What exactly happens in steps is this:
(Running via Steam)

1. Open Spiral knights and now the game is windowed (used to be fullscreen on my old setup)
2. Have to reconfigure my controls and prefernces for chat etc
3. Switch resolution perfectly fine, no game exit
4. Check fullscreen, click apply
5. Game exits to desktop and I can still see the java process running in Task Manager
6. All my drivers and java installation are up to date

Is there any solution to this? I cannot play windowed due to clicking off of the window in the midst of a panicky battle or something.
This is frustrating to say the least.

create extra.txt in folder

create extra.txt in folder with game(Steam\steamapps\common\Spiral Knights) and add this
-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true
If you turned on fullscreen mode and can't run the game, press Win+R and paste it and press Enter:
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\projectx /v fullscreen /t REG_SZ /d false
Press Y and run game again.

Unfortunately none of that

Unfortunately none of that did any good :(

It still just crashes out, but leaving the java process running. I can't play Spiral knights any more!?

Did you turn on fullscreen

Did you turn on fullscreen mode again?
As i said you may remove border and set native resolution. It should looks like fullscreen mode.
If you post your launcher.log it can be useful.

You can find launcher.log in

You can find launcher.log in folder with the game.
Let's try again
1 Turn off fullscreen mode
press Win+R and paste
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\projectx /v fullscreen /t REG_SZ /d false
press Enter and then agree with chages
2 Run the game and set your native resolution and DON'T turn on full screen mode.

Here's my launcher log:

I pasted that code again, pressed Y and enter like before.
I run the game, the resolution is set to the same as native. it's windowed but I can still click off of it.
I haven't launched Spiral knights since doing these steps.
I want to fullscreen but it just closes down, doesn't save the fullscreen status and just runs in the background, making no noise.

You didn't create extra.txt

You didn't create extra.txt with
-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true

It should remove border.
