  1. if you go to view>settings>screenshot entire screen, and then try to take a screenshot does it work then?

     

    If so it may mean that SwiftKit is unable to find the bounds of the java apple to auto crop the screenshot. Which would indicate an issue with your java install.

  2. I haven't been able to recreate this myself, I would try re installing IE. But given the age or your OS and that its the media edition i believe there may be a conflict with the way we force SwiftKit to use the latest version of IE and not revert back to IE6.

  3. Well given that RuneScape is compiled to be 32bit unless you have another application that requires it, 64bit java is next to useless because the data would still only be able to move in 32bit chunks. If anything it would create more overhead.

     

    I would highly recommend to everyone that they use Java 6, update 38 - Windows Offline (32-bit) which can be found here. http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp the offline edition is to ensure that the java installation isn't sandbox by Chorme or FireFox and is accessible to SwiftKit.

  4. I'm trying to get conformation from jagex or the Runescape official forums about this. To me this may be something Jagex have done to force user to use java 6 because of how bad java 7 is.

     

    The first thing I would do is close SK and uninstall all version of java from add remove programs.

     

    Then go to http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp and download the latest version of the offline 32bit java 6 this should be "java 6 update 38" once installed reload runescape. if the message then continues to appear I would wait until we here something from Jagex before clicking continue. Other wise you should be good to go.

  5. 2. The idea is you should add a section on like where we can see how to make things. Like food, armour, weapons, but mostly food.

     

    Tip.it now have a real neat mobile site, we may be able to link to their guides.

     

    3. Another idea is like if you can.. Can you please make a section for us the users of your app to like chat and share our ideas tips, and like were we can help each other out.

     

    This would certainly be possible as for the Andriod version we have socializes aspect to it already that allows you to comments on different things, it wouldn't be a full blown IRC chat, but the ability to post comments or tips i don't see why not.

  6. It should have only need to be run as admin that once, however if for some reason that is not the case,

     

    Right click SwiftKit on the Windows Homescreen (or what ever they call it now) and go open file location

    Right Click the SwiftKit shortcut and go properties then compatibility

    Then check run as admin down the bottom.

  7. Old topic but...

     

    Thought I'd mention... Logging into the RuneScape website before clicking the Play Now does nothing different when loading the game page. The ads, the video player data, the scripts, everything is still loaded, just not shown on screen.

     

    After logging into a members account and clicking Play Now:

    As for the lower FPS and ping increasing... Placebo effect. Save yourself the minute.

     

    Thanks for this I have always know it was the case (we spent a lot of time trying to manage this before they added to ability to hide the menu bar ingame) but never bothered to take the time to prove it. It amazes me the amount of people that complain about the ads. For there to be any sort of effect on your computer in any way be that processing or networking, you would need a 20 year old computer. Its not like they a streaming new content constantly once each ad are downloaded and rendered there will be very minimal network activity in the bytes and the processing will be so low that its next to immeasurable. Now if there were away to prove that the java processing and graphics rendering is the cause of lag and not SwiftKit it's self we would be on easy street.

     

     

    Jagex does not show the main page with their official client as well.

     

    Yes but that is the official client the rules state that 3rd part clients must load the runescape webpage and not bypass normal navigation so until this rule is change we are not going to bypass it.
