Starting yesterday I've had two relatively big problems, I'm not sure if they're related.

First, yesterday, about 15 seconds after I spawned and started using the keyboard to walk, WASD, my keyboard would freeze and I wouldn't be able to move. My mouse would still work fine. If I was in windowed mode I could toggle back and fourth and get about another 15 seconds of movement. If I was fullscreen I would have to quit. I rebooted my computer and the problem went away.

I custom builtmy rig and even tho the gtx 570 maxes everything 1080p 60fps, i want somethin newer so i sold it for $120 (got for $100) and i am looking at the amd side as i have an amd 8320 processor, amd thermaltake case etc and i wanted to know if the r9 270x crossfire woupd be beneficial as i bought one a while back and my 570outperformed it in sk but nothing else. If i get 2 of the 270x's and dp a two-way crossfire would i see inprovement or is sk not multi-gpu suprtive? Cuz thrn i could just get a 280x. Prefer quick responses as i'll be buying this week.

With Steam, I tried opening Spiral knights at around 6pm EST, it registered me as playing but no window popped up. I uninstalled local game content and tried again, and now the game is stuck at 99% installation telling me the game needs an update, which I can't do because it isn't installed, not sure if this will be fixed during the next patch or whatever but any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm just using this website account for the forum, i actually play on steam but i have save password on and i do not know my password.
I open up my spiral knight's and login, then it take's like 5 min for it to say that there is either a outage or the server is down and try agian a moment after... I try again and it does the same thing. Help!

Somehow Steam has some major server problems right now, when I start SK it says after a while that there is a problem with the servers and I should try again later. But it's been 1 hour and it still doesn't work. And I've seen on the SK Steam Forums that there are several people with the same problem so I'd love to get a response from a dev or gm or someone who knows how to fix the problem asap.

Ok so I've deinstalled and then reinstalled it but didn't worked what a surprise.

I don't know much about computers but this one is fairly recent (like only a year old). In the beginning the display drivers crashed once in a while, like maybe once a few weeks and a tech buddy of mine just said spiral knights was unoptimized, whatever that means. Lately, it's been crashing pretty much every level with all of my settings on low. This doesn't happen with any other game. Is my computer dying or is there something wrong with spiral knights?

This is the processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/65511/Intel-Core-i5-3450-Processor-6M-Cach...

when i open the game from steam it jsut opens a white window which then flashes a few times and disapears, then shows the SK icon and java underneath it. wont let me cmd Q steam or SK.

java:

I'm playing through steam and there was an update today. I've had the patcher window open for three hours, and right now it just says "validating" at 66%. Earlier i tried to close it and reopen it, but the game would not launch at all and i would have to end java's process to try launch it again.
I have already tried reinstalling java, and spiral knights, but the issue persists and i am unable to play. Please help.

Help! When I log onto SK, it brings me to Haven. It loads, and on 100% it stops. Then, my comp freezes but my mouse still can move. There is no choice so I had to turn the comp off. Then I turned it back on, and I tried again. Before it got to 100%, I tried to join I not o admission lobby. When I clicked M, my Vanguard rank at the top said " Current Rank " and the description said asdfgh. I got scared, and clicked F6 to join the guild. It did not show my guild and all my friends/guildmates were shown offline. Pls help.

Anybody know some glitches? I'm starting it off with a very bad one. There's a glitch that happens randomly where you can't attack anything, you can move, talk, and be at 60 fps. All the sounds are there. But the enemies just wont die.
