For some reason, the texture for the "energy lock" on energy-activated gates is missing for me. I tried deleting and re-installing SK, but the problem persists. Can anyone help?

That pretty much sums it up, I changed the controls to gamepad, installed it and it won't work, I tried everything, restarting the client setting custom controls, but the thing still won't work, I mean, why even add the option if it isn't working D:
By the way, I run windows 8.

This happens even when I try to play on the main site. No matter what I do I can't see to fix it. All of my drivers are updated along with java, and i have re-installed the game multiple times.

Its all in the title this all started when the new patch was reaslesed about 15hours ago.
If computer specs are needed, i will get them as soon as i can thank you for any help or suggestions.

So a couple of months ago, I converted by account to steam. That being said, I don't have a knight or anything on my website account. But of course, during this update, it decided to screw with me andstop updating. Hat was happening was, so steam auto updates, and Im waiting for it, and it's taking forever, so I check on it, and it appears to be stuck at 99 percent complete, just a mere MB away from completion. And the download speed is 0 bytes. Can someone explain this and hopefully tell me how to solve it?

I have the client installed on my laptop, and it never gave issues. but after the july 30th update, updates have started to become unreliable, often failing on the 97%. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, then I saw the numbers on my task manager on my internet connection. it seems that I am not using the 5% of my connection at the times. so the problems aren't on my side. I would still glad to know what causes this issues, or if my condition has some fixes.
EDIT: right now, on downloading, it uses litterally the 0% of my line. timer is going up, I feel like I'm on kong again.

I can't log on with my steam account, all i can see is guest and facebook.

HALP.

So me and my brother De-Don were doing some kat hunting. After killing the black kat it dropped a book of dark rituals on his screen, so he ran to pick up the book but disconnected. After several attempts to re-launch Spiral Knights it finally worked and he was back into the game. However for some random reason, when he loaded the game automatically kicked him from the lobby and sent him back to haven.

We do not have a screenshot of this, but I swear the book did drop.

What should we do?

Thanks

So, I just downloaded and installed spiral knights, every time i get to the rescue camp it installs the rest of the game but the timer always stops at 86%
What am I doing wrong?

According to Process Monitor Spiral Knights is spaming registtry requests for no reason.
Its doing this several tiems per second. i don't think i change my nickname that often.
