RS not working

[vampaneze]

Hi y´all,

 

Since last week RS doesn´t work properly anymore. I hadn't played for 5 weeks or so. When I started playing RS again in december I remember I had similar problems. I then followed the steps on the RS troubleshoot Wiki and afterwards it worked fine for two months. This time however it doesn't help.

 

The problem: 

RS gets stuck on the title screen where I type in my username and password. This happens in the game client as well as in Firefox or Explorer. Every 20 seconds it freezes for about 20 seconds or so. When it does manage to log in it gets stuck again on a black screen.

 

I've tried:

- Reinstalling Java

- Clearing browser cache

- Deleting preferences.dat

- Changing RS video settings to minimal

- Downloading Client/ trying in different browsers

- Updating Graphics

- Restarting Computer after these steps.

 

My laptop:

Windows 10 Home 64 bits

Intel Core® Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz

RAM: 6,00GB

NVIDIA GeForce Experience

 

Does anyone have any advice? 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Vamp

I found a solution! I came across a website that adviced this:

 

I downloaded the client.

I right-clicked, selected properties.

In the tab "compatibility" I changed it from Windows 8 to Windows 7 as admin. ( Windows 7 is what I had on my laptop before I upgraded to 10)

 

The game works again!
