Runescape shutting down ???

HigHTecHReDNecK · 18-March-06, 02:35 PM

Ok this is for my son, he plays runescape and every time he plays after around 5min. it shuts off and goes to desktop with a java error, **he deleted the error message before i could see it, and i havent tryed it yet this mornin' ** i've updated his java and he has all the XP Pro updates and latest drivers for his board M7SCD Pro GeForce mx400 card ....... anyone got an idea ?? I'll do some hunting for a bit on the net , but figured someone might have a quick answer here.

thanks for any help, HTRN

check the application log... it should tell you why the game faulted...

another thing to do is reinstall the game... (just make sure to backup your save files)

You will have to delete all saved Cache and cookies to "reinstall" the game (it's online TK). It shouldn't take long though. check your Java settings on the Sun java console (assuming that is the one you're using, I don't think there is another one) of course, you may want to reinstall Java too.

Hope this helps.

Yeah its jave 7.0 **from the java website*

i got the actual txt file now so it should make fixing the glitch easier **son kept deleting it**

I'll clear cashe an cookies and do a reinstall again , see if that fixes it .

Although its online I guess you have a disk to install most of the content etc? If you do then it may have patches that fix this if its a known error with certain video cards for example, its worth checking out.

Edit: the official site has a Windows client that loads the game without using a brouser, this may solve the problem... linkage below.

Go to the download extra files button on the left hand side.
