Runescape takes ages to load.

[sct_snake]

I click on my world (99 ftw) and then the screen goes white. I wait for about 5 mins, then the loading comes up. What's making this so slow?

Any chance you're on FireFox and using the original AdBlock and not the more recent AdBlock Plus? If you are, no wonder. If not, you need to tell us more about your layout.

3. Firefox, RS Client, MSN

 

4. Ok i'll try

Start firefox in safe mode(no extensions).

 

Choose a members only world! The game will still load, but without any advertisments(you still can't log in unless you are a member).

 

If the applet loads just fine, then I would say it's an ad or extension conflict, or both.

 

If the applet still takes forever to load, it may be java itself. Try clearing out your runescape cache(c:\.filestore32 or something similar, running linux here so I don't know), and see if that makes a difference.

Okay, I use IE6/FireFox/WinAmp 2.9x/god-knows-what-else all at once without problems, most of the time anyway.

 

 

 

Even though Cruiser and Olgath's combined info is good, you may wish to try one other thing first........ Empty your temporary internet file cache on your Internet Explorer program's options. I can tell you with 100% certainty that RuneScape is running on the IE engine which comes with Windows........... This usually fixes any problems for me, especially since I use IE6 and its' engine for RuneScape.

 

 

 

If things start working, then good. If not, then follow the other info.
