"The Windows client is an Internet Explorer-based"
That pretty much guarantees I'll never use it. Fail. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 02:01, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
If you're on windows that's kinda stupid. There's nothing wrong with IE unless you're using IE6 which is nearly 9 years old. IE8 is good and IE9 is looking even better. It's not like the client forces you to use IE as your browser.

Changelog[]
Now, the client is updated to 1.0.2. There are probably some changes that are not listed by Jagex but should be put in here. I've been using it from the start. Here are the changes if I'm not mistaken:
Changelog
- 1.0.0 - Initial release
- 1.0.1 - Fixed bug where Vista and 7 users need to disable UAC to be able to install client
- 1.0.2 - Launcher automatically removes the languages menu and copyright notification upon log in
I'm not sure of this however. Can someone else verify? --Scykei 07:34, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
Mac Client[]
There is now a mac client available. I thought I would just point this out and let a person with more authority on the wiki decide if there should me separate mac and windows articles.

- I think the more appropriate plan of action would be to move it to "Runescape Client" or something of the like, since it now supports both operating systems.—Triforce 14 22:31, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
- I took the liberty of moving the page to Game Client, the name being taken from the downloads page of the Runescape website. I fixed all redirect problems and cleaned up the article a bit so that it covers everything.—Triforce 14 01:18, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Unix Port[]
Why are you using the Windows client rather than the Mac client? In case you're wondering, use these commands to get the jar from the dmg file (Mac version, requires 7z):
7z e runescape.dmg 7z e 2.hfs -y
- I added that to the client, i was unaware that 7z could open dmg files back then, plus if the user decides to use the wine/compabilitymode in the client then it would require some of the files from the windows client HikariKnight (talk) 09:56, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
texas[]
the client can be downloaded in texas without the need for a proxy I live in texas and can download it no problem.--Heavyoak (talk) 09:51, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
Multi Core Doesn't Work[]
I don't think the partial multicore support alteration works anymore. The code in my 'Runescape.prm' is different from the one listed on here. Faeyrin (talk) 21:42, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- I've not had a problem with it since modifying the prm file months ago. I did a fresh install of the RuneScape Launcher 1.2.3 for PC however, and the runescape.prm file contained:
-Djava.class.path=jagexappletviewer.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws -Xmx384m -Xss2m -XX:CompileThreshold=1500 -Xincgc -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC jagexappletviewer
- After increasing the heap size, enabling the multi-core garbage collection routines, and enabling SSL connectivity my runescape.prm file looks like:
-Djava.class.path=jagexappletviewer.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws -Dhttps.protocols=SSLv3 -Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC jagexappletviewer
- The Client booted fine. What problems are you experiencing when attempting to enable the multi-core garbage collection routines? Heaven Sent (talk) 00:56, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
Extra flags - client not loading[]
I have tried to add the extra flags for SSL connection and multi-core support however when I go to launch the client I get nothing. No windows, no error messages, nothing. If I then remove the flags, the client launches fine. I'm adding the flags at the bottom of the file, is there a priority of where the flags should be placed? Jaspotn (talk) 05:55, June 29, 2015 (UTC)
- There is a slight priority yes, but not of the flags themselves... Everything must be placed before the jagexappletviewer line, thought. The changes you'd like made should look something like this:
-Djava.class.path=jagexappletviewer.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws -Xmx384m -Xss2m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 jagexappletviewer
- Also make sure you're not overwriting the file to a .txt, and ensure there are no blank spaces after each of the lines. Hope this solves your problem — Heaven Sent (talk) 20:39, June 29, 2015 (UTC)
