You know what i mean

i got to play the game the first time but now it just gets stuck at 0%. Please help me. I really love the game

I played the game once and tried to go to full screen but it automatically exited (I don't know if I should report this) but when I tried to play it again it took a longer loading time.

.

Let me tell you what I found a few days ago...

1. When I log in, the ready room is gone. I'm typing on an invisible terminal. The whole place is blue, and where the monitors should be is black.

2. Whenever I wore a certain helmet, I would disappear. Example: When I wore my cobalt helm my head (Except my eyes) disappeared. When I wore a magic cloak, my body disappeared. I took a picture of a floating shield and eyes.

3. I find this the coolest thing of all: When a wore my chapeau,

I would like to lodge a complain about some latency errors I've encountered.

1. I have to wait for minutes to wait for Chat to show up.
2. The character animation is present like: Sitting, Standing, Talking, Sleeping etc
3. I got disconnected once and it says there is a problem occurring with Steam

Here's A Video I recorded for this.

Please Help me. I can't stand playing like this.

Hey everyone thanks in advance for any advice you can offer, here's the details:

**Update** - I can now play the game via the adaption posted below, however I still have a problem with backgrounds being solid white and loading screens being almost completely white. Can anyone offer some advice?

Original Post(BlackScreen Issue):

can somebody please help i was going to play when i did not see the login using steam

When I am at the Purchase page, and I tried to select the Energy Packages to buy, It appears as Failed To Load Energy Packets. Any Idea ??

I downloaded the standalone cilent for Spiral Knights, back in the days, it used to work connecting Steam account to standalone client but now it kept failing to connect through.

Could we discuss did Three Rings removed this function or there is a problem with it? I spent 6 hours waiting and tried to login with countless tries of failure. Now I have to get Steam to work it out.. -_-
