So... I've never had any technical problems with SK until today's patch. I now can no longer play. Upon launch I get a lovely black screen until Java crashes out. I've updated Java, both 32 and 64 bit. I've Uninstalled my steam copy and re-installed. I have downloaded and installed the stand alone copy of SK. Nothing changes this. I can sum that up to a bad patch which I hope is fixed soon. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be more then happy to try.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
i5 Quad Core Processor
16GB's RAM
NVidia GTS450
Ok so I can't just chalk it up to a bad patch. The issue lies with Java and it's cache. For anyone else running into trouble try going to the control panel and then opening the Java options from there. There should be an Settings button under Temporary Files on the first tab. If you click on there will be an option to delete files. Delete them. After it has finished click Ok, Apply, Ok. Launch Spiral Knights.
