I launch the game through steam which works normally but then when I enter the ready room after selecting my knight I can't join haven nor can I start missions. For joining Haven, when I click on join haven the screen tries to enter the loading screen (meaning it fades to black) but then pops back to the ready room with the message "Could not enter instance. Please try again later" which I have done but it pops up with the same result.
Then for trying to start a mission when I click on start mission the only thing it pops up with is "e.no_node_found".

SK has been working brilliantly since I got a new computer but in the last few days I have played some of the special event levels for the first time and experienced severe stuttering/frame drops. It happened on Shadow Lair Firestorm Citadel 2 days ago and now it has happened twice on The Grasping Plateau level of Shroud of the Apocrea prestige mission - it only seems to start when I reach the level for the second time in the same run. The stuttering makes the game completely unplayable and only a restart fixes it.

My brother was playing my SK on my steam, and he linked it which is fine and I had been meaning to do it for ages. Then it told us we had to sign in with steam from now on. And when I do, it doesn't display my characters. I have restarted over and over with no luck, I now regret the day I ever got steam. did I do something wrong?

Ever since I had updated Spiral Knights a few days ago (As far as I remember, it was the most recent update or the one before that), I had started getting minor connection lag problems. I played fine with little lag (didn't bother me too much) but it kept going and annoyed the living guts out of me. I attempted to play a run of arcade today, but it was the worst. My Knight spontaneously moved in place, spazzed around, teleported from place to place and other ungodly things not worth putting here.

So this has been happening for awhile, but I used to be able to get past it after a couple attempts. It started around Wed, when the rose regalia update started.

SK window opens fine, login works fine.
Clicking on a character never brings me to the ready room. It posts the "entering ready room" message on the bottom.
Closing the window and restarting the client starts up the client "Spiral Knights [knight name]" indicating that I have logged on and the game crashed [It doesnt bring up the character screen].

I want to logon to my steam SK account, But it SK booted up from steam stopped displaying the "logon with steam" function... :(

EDIT - It looks to be steams servers are just down.

I am having issues launching Spiral Knights, about 5 seconds after I launch the game it crashes, I have tried uninstalling various times the game and it does not work. If someone can help me it may be really useful

PS: I am playing the game with my steam account.

typically playing SOLO at approximately 25 fps, sometimes as low as 5-10

I have 4 bars of connection at nearly all times, so I doubt it's a connection issue

Checked for driver updates, java, etc, closing web browser, and lowering settings probably helps but that doesn't actually fix the problem, just the symptoms.
