So basically I was able to play the game for about 2 or 3 hours before this happened. I shut off the game, and about 4 hours later decided to play again. I opened up the game and heard the title screen music and saw the cursor but I recieve a black screen every time I open the game and am unable to do anything. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling five times so that isnt a solution. I play the game off of steam. Ive also checked the specs and should be able to play this game. Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated.
Can't play Spiral Knights on my Windows 7, Acer Computer.

Hmmm....
Had a similar problem, try this:
"Greetings, The memory loss warning that Windows is giving you occurs when nearly all ofyour physical memory (RAM) has been allocated to programs. Since this warningis usually thrown in conjunction with playing Spiral Knights it may be thatyour game is simply running out of memory to use. There are two options that you can try:* First, try and make sure that there are no extra programs running whileplaying Spiral Knights. Sometimes a web browser with a flash game in thebackground can be using more memory than you think. * The second option would be to create a file in your Spiral Knightsinstallation directory called extra.txt. In this text file add the value"-Xmx256m" and it will force the game to use a little less memory. The currentdefault when launching the game is -Xmx512m, however the game is designed tobe able to use the smaller value as a minimum specification. If neither of these options are helpful please mail us back. If the game goesblank and crashes again please include your projectx.log and the most recent"hs_err" log file (if present). "
