I can play the game fine, no login issues or anything. However when someone invited me to a party or if I join a party in progress, the game freezes in seconds and I have to ctrl+alt+del out of it. One thing I've noticed is the Steam client also crashed and I have to run it again.
My specs:
Windows 7 64bit SP1
i7-3630QM
8GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 675MX

I immediately joined a friend's party after logging in hence the short (ish) log file. And I crashed seconds after loading has finished.
Reinstalling the game did nothing to solve the issue, I'm starting to think this is a Steam client issue instead of the game, as sometimes this happens in other games as well.
Immediately re-logging in puts me back into the same party, in which I crashed seconds later. The only thing that can make me play again is when the party leader kicks me out.
If you can reliably recreate the crash, please post a copy of the projectx.log file, which is in your Spiral Knights install directory. This will include information about when/why it crashed.
Your default install path should be something like :
Windows: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\spiral knights
OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/spiral knights
You can copy and paste the .log file to a site like pastebin and link it here, since it might be rather large.
