Safe mode

Safe mode is used to make the RuneScape game run with minimum audio and graphics options. Safe mode works with both RuneScape and RuneScape High Detail. To activate safe mode, a small check box needs to checked. This box is labelled "Safe mode", and is located just below the mains options in the Detail select page.

Audio and Graphics options
The best way to adjust the options, especially audio and graphics, is to use the options in-game. This is because the changes would be immediate. If the changes are unsatisfactory, the changes can be reverted.

The safe mode option should be selected only if the game runs too slowly or it crashes while loading.

Low-detail Mode
Before the RuneScape High Detail update, there was an option to play RuneScape in Low-detail mode. This mode is still available, and can be activated by:
 * ticking the "Safe mode" check box.
 * selecting "RuneScape" instead of "RuneScape High Detail"

However, there are small improvements to this version of Low-detail mode:
 * The game remembers the settings chosen for the next time the game is played. This eliminates the need to select the option every time.
 * Some higher detail options can be enabled without having to enable all of it. This optimises the playing experience according to individual needs.
