What is the "everything"

What is the "everything" you've tried? Is it anything like the Technical Help Sticky? If nothing there has helped could you please tell us the actual error you are seeing along with your computer's specs?

Jozwaik, A java crash should

Jozwaik,

A java crash should create a he_err_pid####.log file in your spiral knights installation directory. Pasting a copy of that will help us determine where Java is crashing. Also, please be aware that Crysis 2 is a DirectX based game while Spiral Knights is OpenGL based; meaning any statement about Crysis 2 running well is largely irrelevant and computer specs are still very useful to have.

Alienware...ewwwww. Jokes

Alienware...ewwwww.

Jokes aside, Java doesn't seem to like your mouse. I don't see any obvious conflicts on a google search, so you probably just need to update the drivers. And since its a re-branded Logitech G9, you might even be able to trick it into installing if the Alienware drivers are trash.

The patch might had gotten

The patch might had gotten corrupted during the unpacking. Easiest way thing to try is deleting the code folder and the unpacked.dat file from the SK folder. That'll force it re-validate, and grab full copies of the code jars.
