Dear Lurker and Hopefully Savior,

I have been Spiral Knights for a couple of weeks and have had a series of reproducible errors.

My Java Client Crashes to several in-game events:

*Clicking on the Auction House Traders
*Clicking on Guild Roster
*Clicking on mysterious blue alchemy machine in Arcade Zone (Haven)
*Talking to the Kat Hat Costume Trader in Haven (Not the on in the Arcade Depths)
*Clicking on Energy Trader
*Purchasing anything with Energy in the Shop Page

Minor Issues:

*Depth 28 Lags (1-2 bars at best)
*My character teleports even though I am at 4 bars (could just be a spike in ping)

COMPUTER SPECS:

Computer: ASUS Notebook K53SV
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz
Ram: 6.00 GB
Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Graphics Card: Nividia GeForce GT 540M @ 1 GB Memory
Graphics Driver: 335.23
Java: 7u51

Things I have done to remedy the problem:

*Uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game both local content via steam and pulling files out of directory into the trash bin
*Uninstalled Java and reinstalled
*Uninstalled Graphics Driver and reinstalled
*Used the stand-alone game client and still have issues
*Reloaded operating system to factory specs and re-downloaded all software

I will submit a projectx log and launcher log if people are interested.

Any tips or ideas would be nice. I will save you the "I can play xxx games so why can't I play this game"

I will say I play minecraft and have used mods/modded. I haven't had an issue with Minecraft (Java based game)

Much appreciated for your time

I can't really identify a problem, but since you suggested it has been a couple weeks (couple weeks ago, java update 51 was available...), it could very well be a problem with version 51 (which was the case). I suggest that either you find a way to downgrade your java version, or switch to compatibility mode (32-bit) in the game option to minimize problems in the game.

Personally I haven't upgraded my java past update 21, and SK still works fine for me.

Have you tried this? http://imgur.com/a/bDxVF

By default, your dedicated GPU isn't being used at all for the game so it uses Intel HD from your i5 through Optimus technology.

@Zaffy-Laffy I've been using the latest Java everytime without any issues. I'm using the 64-bit client (Steam installation).
