i have a total number of energy purchases more than $9.95 and I want to test the server, how can i do that?

Seems to be a widespread problem. Upon trying to host a game, the screen doesn't ever make it to loading. Just a black screen, nothing ever happens.

I see people in zone chat talking about this, too.
Anyone else?

Okay honestly I'm about to pull off my hair. I've been trying to "UPDATE" the game ever since the servers went down due to the patch, and that is close to 4 hours almost 5 by now. Closest it's been was to 97% where it stayed for about 30 minutes not budging whatsoever. I ended up refreshing the page and it restarted at 70% but with a 60 minute time remaining and I am here wondering why, just why? So I decided to look for alternatives, I downloaded the client, installed it and when I get on it says installing the rest of the game, taking a 40 minute period.

Hey!
I know this has been experienced before, but my download screen counter is climbing...
Starts at around 25 mins to download, then starts climbing upwards to over 200 minutes for download... :(
Any way to resolve this?
Thanks

When the Danger Mission update was loading up, (Once it got to 40ish%), it said

"The application has failed due to the following error: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://download.threerings.net/spiral/20120620234015/getdown.txt

Help?

Hello ^^

When I try to open the game I get the "Preparing to launch Spiral Knights" popup, and then the screen flashes black for about five seconds before I just get a super zoomed-in version of my desktop. Spiral Knights isn't in the task bar, and when I try to close it in the task manager it isn't there. I have to reboot my computer in order to fix my screen.

Why is this happening?

Hello, i have a problem while Launching Spiral Knights, i have it on Steam. When ever i want to launch it, it says Preparing to Launch Spiral Knights... then that window closes and a black screen comes. After a few seconds that black window closes and i'm brought back to my desktop where i find that my Resolution is put to 1000x800 Pixels. I have played Spiral Knights before and didn't get this problem. I had to delete it due to needing memory to install other games. Now i have installed it again and have this problem. Am i missing some part or something has changed?

Just to point it out, I play SK from Steam.

Ever since around... 2 days ago (Since I posted this), I've been experiencing quite a horrendous amount of lag in my SK Cilent. Just like what SK lag is renowed for, I get thrown around, walked super-fast then super-slow, there is an approximately half a second delay to do anything, and the lag has never left ever since it came.
