Hi.

...

So I've recently reinstalled windows 7 on my PC. I did this so that I could remove all previous data that I had instead of sitting through and removing everything. Of course, this included Spiral Knights and steam. So after I did this, I went about my business reinstalling things like antivirus stuff and et cetera. Finally, I reinstalled steam and eventually Spiral Knights.

Then things got weird...

Instead of describing the events that occur, I recorded it so that you could visually see it. (Excuse the watermark)

Is anyone else having problems logging onto the actual game itself? Also how do I fix the technical issue of being able to actually run the game so that I can play if the downloading screen doesn't actually show anything loading?

I play on Windows 8.1, a laptop (Levono IdeaPad, I believe), and the game crashes at certain times. This usually occurs when I am loading a new level, mostly Clockworks, but sometimes in Haven, inspecting people/looking at my closeout (in the character section), and going on the Auction House. I would like to know if this can be stopped, but I have not heard of anyone else with this problem. Also, when the game crashes, I have to log in again, but I am disconnected. From what I have been told, I have the red disconnected symbol thingy above my knight.

I recently got a mac and downloaded SK via steam but it keeps saying I need to install Java even though I already installed it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but it still gives me the pop-up.

Everytime somebody released a charge attack from a Sword or Gun, My FPS Reduced to 0 in 1 second.
I'm using an Imac
-2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
-1GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
-ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processor with 138 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM

P.S. I think the problem is the release charge aura that's causing this..

So i start downloading the new update and then it suddenly stops around 50-70% and pretty much tries to start the game, my whole screen goes black for a few seconds and then it closes out, i go to the properties in steam and everytime it tells me there is 13 files that fail to validate, everytime i redownload these files and retry the installation of the new update it still fails, someone please help.

That's pretty much exactly what happens.

I took a break of a month or so cause vacation.
And when I came back, this had happened.

Anyone else face similar problems? Anyone know a solution?
Please do help out, and I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up and solved.

Thanks!
Have a nice day.

when i open the game, appears the game window for 2 seconds and closes.

For some random reason steam beta was the reason for the crash.
I switch back to normal steam and it runs fine.
