Game requirements

These technical requirements must be met in order to play RuneScape.

Input

 * Keyboard, mouse

RuneScape

 * RuneScape: 512MB RAM, 1 GHz CPU, 128MB 3D graphics card
 * RuneScape HD: 2GB RAM, 2 GHz CPU

Plugins

 * Java Runtime Environment version 1.6, update 27

It is generally advisable to use the current Sun Java release. Only the Java Runtime (JRE) component is required, though installing midsize or deluxe soundbanks may improve the sound quality.

It is possible to tweak the Java settings in some installations. Significant tweaks include:

Java2d.ddscale
Can be selected to enable hardware scaling under the directdraw pipeling - default is off, as some driver implementations may not scale with acceptable quality.

Java2d.opengl
Can be used to enable a highly optimized OpenGl rendering pipeline, though with some graphics cards, this results in incorrect colours.
