I play spiral knights on steam, sometimes when i wait like for an hour in line of LD, then my screen blacks out and stays black. When i quit and reconnect, it says failed to connect to server, this has previously happened to me when i enter haven, this is driving me nuts and makes me want to rage quit.
Spiral Knight blacks out and crashes
if im lucky, then i am able to join haven, i was just doing my first GvG and it happened again! im quite sure it has nothing to do with steam, im quite sure its from SK
I am getting the black screens too when I drop the window while in a load screen or in a sub-town like emberlight.
This is starting to get on my nerve
@Deadly-Grimm, it has nothing to do with sk~ it must be your connection or either your pc component, mind if you give me your pc spec? click start > write dxdiag in search > operating system, processor, memory, directX, and device in display tab including memory and shared memory (shared memory should be there if you use integrated card). mostly this problem caused by your device don't have enough power to processing next map in loading screen, turn all setting to low and checklist compatibility mode might fix this problem~ or try reinstalling sk if you think some file corrupt in sk folder.
@Deritof, then don't do it again~ -_- because when loading it load lot of memory and might crash when you interrupt it (depend on user pc)

This is all the information i can give you, also, i my previous computer was a lower version and on it SK worked better.(i sold it for this one)
hmmm... ah idk what to do~
so 2 culprit left, connection and sk corrupt file or maybe last thing in my mind (pc component overheat)
try reinstalling sk and tell me if you still got this problem or not.
the problem still remains after reinstalling it and my pc has a good cooling system so it dosent overheat, also my internet is perfectly working with no problems, its problems with SK
nup~ mostly black screen problem come because pc device not have enough power to proceed to next step or get interrupt by some program which used much memory when time you at loading screen, and in some rare case caused by sk server but none of my friend or those who played alot everyday experience this problem.
but it seem you have poor pc component because i saw you in LD only got 1k dmg even with hammer and snarby coat~ or maybe you still new or maybe you experience lag in LD or maybe you trolling me in this thread, whos know~
but from pc spec you post (fake or not) it must be... hmm too much program running in your pc
try disabling program you not really use or turn it off, some program like antivirus or something that might used alot of memory~
I know a friend who has had the same problem when trying to get to Haven. So perhaps it is not just Deadly-Grimm having PC or connection problems. I told him to close all programs and restart computer, check game file cache on Steam, etc, etc but he was trying for hours. Apparently going to Guild halls was fine, but Haven didn't work. Having said that, it doesn't happen often, by my understanding.
yup, but this song of battlefield will never end~
because human always blaming machine for evil thing they have done without looking at themself or what human give to machine...
it seem only you experience it, maybe steam server down? or maybe client error? or maybe sk server error? or maybe... o_o
why you want to rage quit if you rarely experience it? you said when enter haven before, but after you post that i saw you in haven walk normally o.0? now calm down~ almost lot of us experience bad time in sk and some more worst than you...
from your post, it must be steam server down or how long you wait for that blackscreen? maybe that was loading time when you signed and your game not delayed for LD.
