So, you don't lag but you have low FPS?

If they're expecting us to spend $$ for a high-end computer, there's plenty of better ways to spend said $$ if you want a gaming experience. For now, RuneScape's just about playable (7-10 FPS more or less, 4-6 in dungeons) so I put up with it because it's only £3.50 a month anyway, which is like... half an hour's wage... for a whole month. It's funny to think that my old computer ran World of Warcraft on semi-high settings in constant 40+ FPS. RuneScape was 1-3 FPS since the Dominion Tower update. Of course WoW gets it easier since it isn't done in java and all the stuff is actually installed in the hard drive, but seriously, you would expect a simple Java game to run on minimum settings as good as a humongous MMORPG. I got the new computer and can't get lower than 45 FPS even if I'm watching a blu-ray and playing the Binding of Isaac at the same time, but I still think that Jagex should make the FPS improvement its highest priority.

Actually, to run RS nowadays with full constant 50 FPS, you need quite a modern and high-spec computer, which is quite silly.

E: I had a message hear, but it disappeared. Anyhoo, the ping was there just because I was downloading stuff through steam. Normally I get anything from 58 to 80 in ping.

Boy, sure is a good think I'm not lagging, eh?

I finally decided to took a stand with the term lag. The term is used very badly here in tip.it. If RuneScape runs badly on your computer, it isn't lag. Lag as a term is connected to the internet connection quality and the issues that come with the lack of a good connection. If the time difference between your click and the action happening in game is long, that's lag. If your game runs at 3 FPS, that's just a performance issue. After the dominion tower update, the game got unplayable on my old computer. Still, I didn't experience lag. The commands executed as quickly as ever, it was just hard on my eyes because of bad performance. I still hope Jagex would improve their engine. It seems to perform very weakly at the moment.

Update is planned for tomorrow.

RS used to be max of 50fps, did something change? My bad, it's a typo of a misthought. 50FPS all the way.

My fps fell from 30-40 FPS to 1-10 after the bot nuke. Thought Jagex would fix it, but they didn't. Now I have a new computer that runs the game steadily at 60FPS, but I can't forget how unplayable the game got. A shame some people still can't play RS because of the nuke.

But where's Langer?

This guy looks AWESOME! Also, 1000th post, that didn't take long.

Update's scheduled today at 2 P.M.

Eight medallions completely done, so about 75 trips. I've got Akrisae's Mace and runes. And usually I'm quite lucky with my drops!

Year of U-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D.

Nice month, waiting eagerly for everything except the graphical updates. Also, first time in four years when I have to level up to be able to finish a quest.

Toolbelt and money bag sound great, going to enjoy them when the FPS problem gets solved.

I can't see him doing that.

I smell the seal game returning.

It's impossible for me to play RuneScape due to extremely low FPS even on minimal settings, and NOW they roll out 2x XP in the skill I least like? Well met, Jagex!

So, when is this going to be fixed and when can I play again?

Playing RuneScape with 3 FPS = epic.

Are you talking about lag or low FPS here? My FPS has reduced to 25% of the amount it was before, and I can't even get past lobby after the Dominion tower update. Seems that you guys are talking about low performance but still use the term lag, which means it takes horribly long for the server to complete your action input (i.e. moving around the map, how long it takes after the click that the character moves)

This sounds like an update I would love to play. Too bad though, since every time I log in from the lobby to the game, the game window closes.

So, what happened with this case?

My FPS rates went down the drain when clusterflutter was introduced, and it's even worse now. I can't log in without getting log out in a few seconds. Me no likey!
