In short when i try to start this mission(new to SK barely even started playing) I wind up simply getting a black screen, doesn't seem to matter if i try to join a party for it or go solo, both result in black screen that never ends. Tried changing server from detect by ISP to USA, didn't help. Thoughts?

EDIT
seems to be working just fine now, this topic can be closed/deleted.

This is not happening to me, but with a friend of mine. Anyways, while trying to start spiral knights via steam, she gets the login screen, gets char selection and after a few secs it crashes to desktop. No Spiral knights is not working message, or any message, at most an update message from steam, as if it had shutdown normally. Halp?

Hi id just like to know if there was a way to enlarge the amount of area displayed on my SK window not enlarge the whole thing all together but like how when you toggle zoom it gives a better view is there a way to do this permanently

as in ive seen some people who have larger view of the area surrounding them but the window frame is still the same as mine (or this could be because of the position their standing in or just maybe even just me lol)

would i just need a bigger monitor?

or is it the same for all?

also what display size is best to reduce lag?

For some reason, the desktop and taskbar icons on my computer stopped working about three days ago.
For previous problems, I just deleted out the icons and removed SK from the computer for reinstalling. A similar problem with an error message happened once before, and a patch soon after (a day maybe?) fixed it. Then all was well.

Alright so i just built a gaming rig like yesterday and after i installed drivers and windows 7 updates (including service pack 1) i boot sk and for some reason when i left click screen it flashes. i was playing before on this computer and the problem didnt happen, now it does idk why. before i had a thermaltake 600w psu and 4gb of ram, but that didnt cut it so i went and bought a corsair tx650 enthusiast psu and 8gb of kingston hyperx blu ram so that rules out memory and psu weakness, i got the windows fully patched and updated so windows is ruled out.

The game is skipping... I call it mini d/cs, but I don't know what it is.

Details:
It only happens during a run... not in Haven, not anywhere else, just on a run.
It seems to skip the animation of monsters etc as if they were put on pause... other players end up running off the map like I was d/ced.
I can keep moving during the skip and it doesn't bounce me back once the skip is done.
It's only been happening since the Memory Leak Patch... not a day sooner or later.
It's not my connection...

i tried everything to fix it reinstalling,update drivers,etc but everytime when i play this game after like 20-30 minutes of playing the game starts bugging out and when i open my ui like the inventory alot of the texts are missing even at the loading screen i tried making screen shots but only managed to take 2 the third one crashed my game

i use a integraded graphics card intel hd 4000

So I've noticed for a long time now that when I open SK before Steam takes over a patch's download, the SK updater seems to download the patch much faster than Steam.
I finally looked into this the other day and figured out what seems to be the cause. Let's use the 3/4/2014 patch as an example.

The patch downloaded by the SK updater was ~4MB, and only contained things that were new and/or modified.
However later when Steam got a hold of this patch, it was ~250MB.

Hello, today for the new patch I accidentally quit during my validating and now whenever I log oo I get a black game with errors in my chat area, how do I fix this? do I delete then reinstall Spiral Knights?

I even reinstalled the game and it still doesn't work

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750; 2,76GHz (4CPUs)
Memory (RAM): 8GB
Operating system: Windows 7
Video card: Radeon(TM) R9 270X; 2GB

Problem:
I have some graphical glitches:
- droping items (vials, capsules, etc.) are to big or to small or invisible
- when I hit zombies there are appearing grey squares (like a glitched dust)

I don't know what causes those glitches. I play on high graphics but when I had my older card I could play on high graphics without any problems (maybe some lags but rarely).

I hope that someone knows how to solve this problem.
