I don't have money, so I can't purchase the DLC. However, even MY game isn't loading. It's not even staying on the screen for one second. The pop-up window for SK came up, then said 'Java has stopped working.' Then the game closes.
Please help me. I never even downloaded the Expansion Mission (didn't plan to) and I can't play either. This isn't a good update, Three Rings.
Uninstall Spiral Knights, uninstall Java, reinstall Java, reinstall Spiral Knights.
You can't blame Three Rings for Java from Oracle not working properly on your specific computer.
