Is anyone else experiencing horrible lag in dungeons lately?

I've noticed a lot of runs I've been on with more than one person have fallen victim to very "macine-gun" like lag spurts.
I run on Ventrilo with my team and the others don't seem to notice it.

I've also attempted bringing the window size, resolution, and graphics settings down, individually, or all at once, and it hasn't fixed it.
It's strange because this was never an issue when I started a few weeks ago.

I run a Mac Pro 2008 Dual 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Xeon system (8 cores)
8 GB ram

Hi. Yesterday I've bought "Starter Pack" to my account. I've got the confirmation email from PayByCash, it says that my payment was sended to Spiral Knights. So I thought enerything is ok. But still I haven't receive my energy ingame. In Energy History I saw, that payment was made. Besides, after making a payment, I've converted my web account to Steam account. Now I have no access to my Energy History and I haven't energy ingame. Please, help.

I have been playing spiral knights after seeing it on the ftp list on steam. I'm about to go somewhere where i can't access my main computer, is there a way i can play on the character i have on my steam acc on the website?

I had been playing Spiral Knights for a few days but not with Steam. Then, once the conversion option was announced I decided to convert. I converted the account on my Windows PC without hitch; I could log in using Steam without a problem. The problems arose when I attempted to log into the same Steam account on my Mac and also play whilst using this newly converted account. Much to my dismay, the checkbox that on my Windows PC that allowed me to log in with my Steam account was gone. After 4 reinstalls, updated Java, and even reinstallation of Steam the checkbox is still not there.

Every update that comes on will just mess up my computer and I can't play Spiral Knights for a day or 2.It gets REALLY annoying.And I want it to stop,because Spiral Knights is my favorite thing to do now.Someone PLZ tell me this is just me!Or has it happened to you?

First off, I just want to say I'm posting from a forums-only account because I have no idea how to log in using my steam account.

I'm looking to learn C# or something over the summer and the pet project I chose out of my brainstorm is going to be based on Spiral Knights.

So yea, I started out on the steam release of spiral knights and I followed the Directions that were posted to twitter 'http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/12901' here. Everything went fine as far as I know, the blank spiral account got linked to the steam account but I just have one question that I cant find an answer to.

Is there a delay before any of my characters are recognised by the website support ticket system? I am trying to contact a GM and under the drop down selection of characters there are none.

Look at this...

I have an 2600K.
And this game is still freezing sometimes......

The Core One is nearly the only one to work... maybe you could do something about it ....

I've been trying to link my steam profile to my character since the day we were told we'd be able to.

I've tried following the directions in the release, but I was never taken to the create a character screen any time I'd logged in through steam. I'd also never seen any kind of checkboxes asking me to log in through steam or anything else. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

i just cannot seem to start up the Steam version. I reintaslled Java , I reinstalled the Steam version, nothing worked. It only works when I launch it from the website and I really want to convert my accounts.
