Uber Lag.. and server kicks

I started playing this game in late September.. so i guess i probably what most people consider a newb. For the first two weeks i had great fun, no lag, amazing runs and so on. I got sick, was sent to hospital for 1 week and when i came out, this game started lagging like mad.

I don't understand, i'd upped my internet speed from 3Mbps to 16Mbps hoping that i could have more fun and a better playing experience. My comp has no probs, whenever i go on a run, i start lagging, either graphics freeze or i get kicked off from the server. The most annoying thing is that you run out of mist real fast, because when you get back in the game and "join" your friends... you get kicked off 2mins later....

So.. i can log into the game, BUT everywhere lags... Haven, Advanced training hall, Bazaar, Clcokworks.. etc..
Another thing is that if i'm in the clockwork and i got dc'ed or kicked off the server.. i lose ALL the mat acquired that level...

So.. in the end.. its bad playing experience, mist lost, mats lost and time lost....

As for how i lag, either the screen freezes, my character runs on the spot and 30secs later i find him very very far away... and then in 2 secs it flickers back to where i was, and then keeps sending me between two spots... but as far as i know, i appear to my team mates as running into the wall, sometimes even running off the paths...

Another one is where everything freezes, including monsters and my character can move about, this one is rather rare, though it is fun... n not as annoying as the others... but still.. its lag.. and i lose lots of stuff that i could have already acquired already...

Black square

All i see is a black square with a tiny red square in the bottom left.

Meaning, to the top right of the mini-map, i have this black box where i think the bars are supposed to be. Then in the bottom left corner of this black box is a little red box.

The Lag-o-meter

I call that box the lag-o-meter or the connection status / strength meter. Like a cellphone, it displays how your connection is with the game servers. I'm not too sure what is causing it but the data is not getting back and forth quick enough and is creating a connection lag (vs client lag where the client can't keep up with the graphics)

Here is a reply from GM when I submitted a report of server kicking with lag spikes. This should apply to you since they are the same symptoms.
----------------------------------------

Your general description of what happened sounds a little like 'rubberbanding', keeping in mind that this is just a general suggestion based on experience and not on actual data, I would suggest that you try try these suggestions:

*You may want to enable the compatibility mode and reduce the graphics quality from the High setting to "Medium" or "Low" and see if that does it. In the General Options Menu you should select a low resolution and toggle Graphics Quality to "Low." In the Advanced Video Options "Compatibility Mode" should be toggled on.

*On Windows Vista and Windows 7 the Aero Glass (see through effects) should be disabled while running the game to free up additional system resources. Right click the Spiral Knights icon on the desktop or in the Start menu *Select "Properties" *Select the "Compatibility" tab *Select the box "Disable desktop composition" *Click "OK" Make sure that you're not downloading anything while playing the game.

The most major, and usually easiest to solve, is local network activity. This game is sensitive to sharing data upload with some other application, but less so to sharing download bandwidth. If someone is doing an online data sync or torrenting on your network you are out out of luck for a good gameplay experience unless you have router admin access.

Take a moment to look at some more suggestions in the wiki at: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Performance_issues_FAQ
