I will be playing when all of the sudden everything that was moving keeps moving in that direction sometimes going through walls until I find myself a few seconds later somewhere else along with all of the enemies. It is really annoying and I have died several times because of it.
I have a Macbook Pro and even when I change the graphics settings it doesn't make a difference. I have great internet and a good computer, but somehow I will start to get these lag spikes for a few seconds. I will always have a 3 or 4 bar connection so I don't know whats wrong!

Just wanted to tell that if you are using OpenDNS the client won't logon.
So if your game can't connect to the server try switching to another dns provider, Google Public DNS works fine.

It really annoys me. Lag is slow connection hence The name lag. As in lagging behind. Low frame rate or low fps. Eg. A nitrome or polaris causes latency. Lag is caused by yourself or a crowded or bad server.

i go on Spiral Knights to have fun, and yes all these updates are cool, but something needs to be done about this. i cant press my social without lagging out, i cant use auction house without lagging out, and i load FOREVER!!! Please sk, fix this...

As in terrible netcode/hit detection/lag and all that mess.

OOO wonder's why new people don't stick around, the old energy system was a factor but it was not the biggest factor. It's simply people do not like getting killed by things that clearly do not hit them on their screen. You have for example the following non exhaustive list:

-Enemy projectiles hitting you because their actual position is ahead of their displayed position.

Comp Specs

I play SK in STEAM.

Should be enough info but if you need more PC specs let me know.

The issues I am having both started around the same time so I assume they are related.

First I have random things in the game that end up being black squares with the word ERROR inside in red letters.
