This is not a suggestion, because one should not have to suggest that their game not be laggy.

It keeps loading Downloading and Validating, over and over again. Can someone help me on this issue?

After the latest patch I am unable to play Spiral Knights. After the patch loaded and validated my computer crashed. And repeated attempts to log in and play results in the game simply freezing up.

When i launch spiral knights through steam, when it loads to the login screen, instead of a login with steam, all i get is a login using guest instead. Anyone knows how to get back the 'login with steam' checkbox back. Or at least how i can login using my steam account?

When trying to buy some items or checkout some items, it tells me "A error has occurred on the server."
Can anyone help me?
Also I use Steam.

Everytime I try to play lockdown I get disconnected when the game starts. I have no idea why, this has never happened on my other computer.

I am running the game using Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility mode on Windows 7.

Here is the Projectx log:

Hello.

I join Party Lobby room in Clockworks, to begin the game, but when level is loaded to 96-98%, game freezes TOTALLY.

-Java IS updated;
-I already TRIED to re-install the game;
None helped.

I am using a mac book pro. Recently after playing for sometime, my character would start rubberbanding (moving around totally out of my control), and the next minute, I would be kicked out from game. When I logged back in immediately, I always find myself back in town.

Does anyone experience this too? I am not sure what exactly is the issue but is really frustrating and wasting of my mist and CE.

I was able to sign on earlier this morning but however since I've logged off to do some IRL stuff I can no longer log back in. I didn't change any settings. I keep getting the message that it is unable to authentic with steam. I would believe that this could be just a steam issue. However I can't even log onto Puzzle pirates being a OOO game as well. So I would like to know.. are the servers down? Or will i get the excuse that steam is messed up again. Keep in mind i'm able to play l4d2 and sims3 completely fine as well as MW3.

well after installing spiral knights i found a program using 60% cpu called miawoo.exe right after playing for a while
i searched it and it was a worm O____________________________________O
i did a scan, AVG removed it, miawoo was still using cpu so i restarted
AVG detected it in autorun.inf and it was removed completely

it didnt do any damage so interesting story?

oh yea first linktheheroftime (mispelled lol)
