runescape abnormally slow

[final_attack]

even on a new comp and dsl it takes 5x as long to LOG IN and when i do get in game i have horrible lag. anybody else having this problem?

[nicrune007]

Have you tried your internet connection on other sites?

 

It may be because of internet connection..

 

 

 

 

 

If the problem still persist i suggest you try

 

the Tech and computers section

my internet is fine :(

Try rebooting your computer. If you upgraded java recently or just installed it, then you have to reboot so all the problems will be handled. You may also need to reboot if your PC has been up for quite a long time, as the system RAM and resources may be looking like a fly splatted on the windshield of a moving car. :P

 

 

 

If this isn't the problem, clear the cookies you have where the URL contains 'runescape.com' ... there may be a session cookie problem. :|

 

 

 

And if that isn't it, well, you'd better whip out your anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-spyware checkers. :(

 

 

 

And if you're still clean after all that, then I'm stumped. :?

(Side note: I've requested a thread move. You're in the wrong forum as of when I have posted.)

I moved this to Tech and Computers. You should get better help here.

 

 

 

My unprofessional opinion. Runescape is a very CPU intensive game. If you have a lot of other programs running at the same time it could cause lag.

 

 

 

As D_V_Devnull said you may need to install Java if it is a new computer.

 

 

 

even on a new comp and dsl it takes 5x

 

Are you saying you are running it on multiple computers and all are slow?

[final_attack]

Are you saying you are running it on multiple computers and all are slow? no just the new one i'm fixin to clear cookies see if that'll help... i've rebooted (usually first thing i do)

Delete Cookies, Clear your IE cache, delete all files from IE tools-internet option tab, and such. Re-load runescape.

new computer is really vauge, whats its specs? (I don't think its a problem but worth asking at least).

 

 

 

 

 

Try what these people are saying. Also does the lag just hit in [bleep]es (like you move to walk and its working fine and then just gives you a big lag [bleep]e and you jump ahead) or is it just kind of smooth.

Try downloading the latest version of Java...and also, clear temporary internet files and cookies. If you've used the computer quite a bit so far, maybe go for a Disk cleanup and defrag. If it continues, try restarting the computer. After that, if it's still going, you might want to run a virus/spyware scan. And if any of these dont work..maybe it's a problem on your ISP's line.

maybe it's a problem on your ISP's line.

 

Or they're being blocked from accessing their server of choice by some jerk who is "DDOS Flooding" and tying up the lines between them and RuneScape, seeing as it only takes "one 'black hat hacker' (aka a 'black cat', for the purpose of the saying) in the path" to screw up the day.

 

 

 

Hadn't thought of it before, thought I'd mention it now.

I saw then people a lot of times if some game work slow they say i am laggy, they then talk about other problems for example CPU processing.

 

 

 

Lag is when game work fine but when you do some action, example: clicking mouse to some location where your hero must go he stay and after some time move fast to this location.

 

 

 

Or when You write some thing in chat and see it only after some time (that mean server received it just then);

 

 

 

This is are lag and problem then is Your internet connection.

 

 

 

But sometimes problem not in it - Performance problems are not LAG!, if all works slow any your hero action or redraw of screen - he run in run mode like in slow movie and any action (good example in Runescape title screen burning fires burn innormally slow) - this thing is NOT LAG is PC performance problems

 

 

 

Is just problems with maybye Java runtimes (Try diferent Java - like in normal Windows PC you have Microsoft one and Sun Microsystems Java too try to use diferent, or maybye you need to upgrade Sun Java and restart PC or do some Windows Updates);

 

 

 

Your Video card (maybye you use wrong video driver - Drivers update maybye help)l

 

 

 

Maybye your HDD problems (defragment hdd, or maybye HDD work in DOS compatibility mode throught int 13h -> somewhere in my computer -> performance you can check it), Possible problem is low HDD space too (defragmentation or some cleanup can help then);

 

 

 

Good things is to restart PC, check Control Panel -> Display (dont remember exact where but Video adapter debuging level & etc things..)
