I'd like to hear of experiences from people around the world about their experiences with the shield.

I live in Australia and I for the longest time I didn't know there was a latency meter in the game, because mine was a red box. Obviously I have horrible latency for this game, thus trying to block attacks for me is the opposite of what I should be doing. I can not block an attack in progress, I can't move away from an attack in progress. If a zombie is any where in their attack animation, its going to hit me.

Thought I'd share, for the edification of the masses.

I just installed XP on a new SSD, got the latest drivers etc, fired up Spiral Knights and it was all wonky. Mooshed text, rendering artifacts.

ATI's 11.4 driver is a known issue here, so I followed instructions and went down to 11.2.

Still wonky.

Booted to the old HD's XP, checked out what my driver there was, the one that worked.

9.12

>_>

So now my new SSD has ATI's 9.12 and everything is great. Lesson? If in doubt, keep rolling back!

trying to get back on after playing earlier but when I open it it either goes black and says not responding.other times I get to the log in display but it freezes and goes to not responding.i was able to play this morning but trying to get on now isn't possible.

Ooooooooooop problem solved

at the loading screen in Haven 1: Arcade, it freezes at 33% and next would be the computer tends to freeze also. and much worse, you will encounter the blue screen of death

any GM or administrator can help me?

I downloaded the stand alone installer to install the game. When it launched, I saw a black screen and then a Java crash screen that said the following:

We were unable to initialize the game's graphical display. Please take the following steps to ensure compatibility:
Visit the technical support forum for up-to-date information and suggestions.
Make sure your system satisfies the game's minimum requirements.
Update your video drivers.
Ensure that hardware video acceleration is fully enabled.

Hopefully this is in the right area!

Well, sometimes when i hit enter to chat, a bunch of numbers, at least a hundred just show up in the box and i cannot erase them to type anything else. Sometimes i have to enter them at least 15 times to get the chat to work again. I have to forewarn my team before it happens almost everytime i play. Is this normal, or is it something that can be fixed? Its just really annoying! If i dont have a chance to tell my team, they all get mad at me and tell me to stop spamming, but there is nothing i can do about it. Thanks.

Yes, as of this morning and dating now well into the afternoon I have not been able to connect. The game loads and after typing in the password, etc it just sits there quote (Logging in) for like 5-7 minutes. After doing so it says:

~Either there is a temporary network outage or the server is not yet fully operational. Please wait a moment before reconnecting.~

I got the game used the installer and got it installed, but then when i try to play the game it goes to the start-up and then freezes while downloading data i thin its the up-dates??
I tried uninstall/reinstall a couple of times.
I double checked my java and its good
not sure what else to do any suggestions??
