Right, so. Everytime Spiral Knights has an update, it has to install via the launcher. But, everytime I finish downloading an update (every big update), the launcher doesn't immidietly send me to the actual game's login screen. Instead, I have to do it myself- and if I try to force the game to open, it'll just open the launcher with the text; "Multiple instances of" or whatever it was called. It'll open the launcher with the latter text, despite there being previously no present launchers or active instances of Spiral Knights. I decided to restart my computer to see if the launcher properly opens Spiral Knights, but to no avail.
I had then decided to uninstall the game, and reinstall it. After waiting a few minutes for the game to finally set up, I had finally been able access the game's login screen. I entered my creditinals and such, to see that my knight for some reason has an invisible head, a non-present shield, and non-present nova driver. After I clicked my knight, the game had crashed and decided to kill itself for whatever reason. I closed it and tried to run it again, but everytime I entered my creditinals correctly, it would freeze. I don't know why this keeps happening to me every time I update and reinstall the game. If anyone happens to know any solution to this incredibly irritating problem, please reply.
