Today I was playing SK, normally no different than usual. But 1/3 through the vicious and viscous mission, the game displayed Java Platform SE Binary has stopped working. It gave me the option to close the game or wait for it to respond. I waited an hour for it to respond and it didn't. I then closed the game and reopened it. It said "logging in" on the log in screen then nearly immediately froze and said it wasn't responding.

Note: I am on the steam version and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

This is like the third or fourth time it happened to me: I go around my business doing missions, and suddenly the screen gets completely covered (except for the UI) in blue gray, as if covered by a weird part of the environment, my character is stuck moving in a single direction, i can't control anything at all and i just die to monsters hitting me.

I've played SK on my PC and I've enjoyed it thus far, so I decided to install SK to my laptop.
I finished installing and tried to run it, but I always encounter the error message: "A server error cause authentication to fail".
I've searched the net and the forums for every possible solution from reinstalling the game to updating and reinstalling Java.
I hope that this problem can be resolved.

Additional Info:

I played Spiral Knights along time ago when it wasn't on steam, recently I started playing again and I tried to merge my web account with my steam account, but my steam account says it has already been merged??? Anyway I can fix this?

I was doing arcade when I got disconnected. My internets working, as I am posting here. It says "Failed To Connect To The Server."

Everytime im trying to buy from the supply depot it always says : m.billing_steam_error.3

My HUD has been bugging out like crazy lately. My player portrait will become a BIG circle of my personal color, along with the mini map. How do I fix this?

Is there a reason for all of this? Are the servers going on an overload that OOO wasn't expecting? This could be a possible necro, but the problem has been persisting for days now.

I want to play Spiral Knights, but I can't because of connection lag. The game is called Spiral Knights, but it should be renamed Spiral Ice because I feel like I'm running around on ice with all this rubberbanding. Any way to fix this?

I can't even play, i am forced to stay in haven.
