I keep reporting this and nobody can give me a solution.

On various levels- especially boss levels, and now it seems, danger missions too - after a certain period of time, Spiral Knights crashes on me. No errors, no warnings. It crashes. closes. desktop. Nada.

This isn't a problem if I can just log back in right? well, you see, when I DO try to log back in, the game loads a bit, then freezes up.

I've reinstalled the game from scratch. I've reinstalled java eight times! I've put SK off my Antivirus watch list, turned firewalls off, and NOTHING HAS WORKED.

I'm getting sick and tired of this! I want to play this game - I love this game! But I can't actually enjoy my time because whenever I go to do something different, the game will close and won't let me in until I'm disconnected. And what makes this worse?! I just spent eight sparks on Legions of Almire by the second floor, and now it'll all be wasted because I can't get back to where I was!!!

If you don't have enough ram, windows likes to close random programs.

Greetings,

When you restart the game, before you log in, could you please submit a bug report? You can submit the report from the log in screen by pressing F2. Doing this should allow the capture of what happened to make your game crash. Please put your knight name in the description for easy finding and we'll dig into what's going on here.

EDIT EDIT: Well, That'll have

EDIT EDIT:

Well, That'll have to be after...IDK how long it takes. Honestly it seems random whether I can rejoin or not within half an hour. Do note I can't actually log in until my character is disconnected, so it might be a few minutes before I can send a bug report.

Bug report

Bug report submitted....though it auto-logged me back into town square, so clearly the guy left or finished the level without me.

I've posted about this as well

Although my game, when it crashes, it just stays frozen until I log off (from Windows), I get random crashes (in any place of the game) after a certain period of time elapses. I also have the problem of not being able to come back for a long(er than I'd like) period of time.

I'd say Little-Juances has a point, and that it's probably Windows running out of ram and crashing the game (at least, in my case, it usually happens when my RAM usage is high, and Spiral Knights seems to eat more and more RAM the more time it passes (Memory Leak anyone?)). One thing that I found that makes my problem happen less often (but still happens...) is to close as many programs as possible while playing Spiral Knights, to have more RAM available. I also disabled Steam Overlay on Spiral Knights... seems to eat a lot of RAM as well. (of course if you don't have Spiral Knights on Steam, this doesn't apply).

Hope my advice helps, and if you find a definite solution, or if the Admins get a bug fix for it, let me know :)
