I tried play the game today, but, all the times I tried logging (facebook), I see the message "The game is not currently open to the public".
Isn't normal, cause yesterday I played the game.

In case anyone ends up with the same situation, must be old GLSL drivers on this video card (which is up to date). Checking the compatibility mode seems to fix this problem.

edit: okay, it MOSTLY fixed it. Still getting this on occasion. FYI it's a Radeon X1950 pro, not THAT old of a card.

I have Java 6. 24, Windows 7, wired connection and the required specs.

The game worked fine until today, but when I tried to play it gave me black screen.
I followed the instructions for "Are you getting a black screen/a malfunctioning full-screen/bad resolution?", it gave me black windowed screen, so I deleted the game from my app data folder and reinstalled it; that did nothing to fix the problem.

I haven't seen anything mentioned in the "Announcements" area about game repairs. So is this normal or just my client? It did get updated already. I also had a message before this one that said something a long the lines of "This game is closed." Again, I haven't seen anything mentioned.

Is this normal? If so, it's no big deal. I'm just curious.

Thanks!

Edit: As SOON as I posted this, the game worked. >.> Please do disregard this post! Sorry for the inconvenience. :(

Well I've tried running both the web-based and the downloadable client numerous times, including reinstalls and the same thing always happens. The launcher/game opens with a black screen and closes after a couple of seconds.

Whenever I click on the first person on my friends list/clan list the game freezes all input besides movement.

I can bring up the chat but all of my keypresses are ignored besides movement (WASD doesn't make letters, it makes me move)

I also can't bring up my menu bar when i click on my top person, thus i cannot join them or /tell them anything using the bar

I would really like to join my friend's game, but this is not letting me.

ALSO:

I can't report a bug while it is happening, as it will not let me enter text into that text field either

My pc meets all the specific requirements... The installation was successful... The game loads perfectly over the website or over the desktop... BUT:

I can`t turn on the full scream mod - if so, the game crashes!

When I`m logged on over the knights menu after a choose my knight the game looks fine but it just stay there... "Heading to town..." for about 2 minutes and them it goes back to the log in scream... saying that I was disconnected from server! If I try to log on back again it stays at the log on scream saying Logging on... and never changes!

Thanks for your help...

I'm playing on a mac and on the internet that I currently use I get bumped from the net every 30 minutes or so. This seems to cause me to be unable to do things for a while. My health goes down as I get hit by monsters I can't see. This will go on till I die or logoff. If I'm not in combat while this happens, or if I survive combat, I can communicate with others after the spike but the game seems hung up on everything else.

If I relog I'll end up in Haven when I come back which is kind of a bummer.

Is there a way to shut off the client and restart and still be in the dungeon?

While tracking down an issue (ha!) with firefox 4 and PPC machines, I found this:

Unfortunately, PPC Tiger does not support OpenGL 2 at al (the really irritating part is that Intel Tiger does have OpenGL 2, and OpenGL 2 came out in 2004!).

Does SK have anything in it that wants OGL 2? Might this be why a G4 mac is so much worse than a microsoft windows system?

EDIT: REAL ICCKY:

Mozilla requires non-power-of-two texture sizes, which require OpenGL 2.

Does this mean that a 1024x512 display would have hardware acceleration, while anything else would not?
