Ever since the last patch and even a little before I have been having a few different issues that all add up to a very poor experience while trying to play SK.

First issue is that when I am either running the clockworks or playing Blast Network the game will completely freeze up. The only fix for it is to CTR+ALT+DEL and End Task the game and then re enter it quickly so it reloads me where I was. This unfortunately does not work for Blast Network so when it happens I basically just wasted 200cr and lost the game. This happens randomly but at least 2-3 times per play session.

Second issue is while running the clockworks or playing Blast Network the game play is VERY choppy and when I do something on my end it doesn't happen in the game right away. Blast Network has been horrible for this as of recent. I will be running but instead of just running smoothly I will be teleporting across the screen. You can understand how that doesn't work out very well in BN.

I always have full bars when I am playing as well and on a bad day it might lose 1 bar.

What are my options for fixing this? I highly doubt it is my computer but just for kicks here are my system specs.

-Intel i7 950 Oc'ed to 3.5Ghz
-6GB Triple Channel memory
-2x 500GB HD in RAID 0 Array
-Geforce GTX 560ti Superclocked Edition - Main Card
-Geforce GTX 260 - PhysX Card
-Win Vista 64-bit

Don't have any issues with my computer playing any other games so I am not sure why I should be having these issues with this game unless it is on Spiral Knights end.

Please help so I can actually enjoy playing again.

Thanks!
