This helped me so much, sadly i only have 32mb on my stupid card lol but i still play in full hd without little problems

Stickied for the time being. ;)

Thanks Rainy!

Thanks for sticking this! I hope this will stop all the individual post on RSHD problems.

I copied this topic over to General and stickified it there as well for the time being.. That version is locked, however with a link back to this one...

Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2

 

Intel Celeron CPU 3.06GHz, 3.06GHz,

 

448 MB of RAM

 

ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Series with 256mb memory

 

I downloaded the latest Java, and removed all old Java versions from my computer

 

I did "Update Driver" for my Graphics Card but it couldn't find any newer versions

 

 

 

When I load up RS HD, it has a background that moves around. Once they're all loaded, after I get off the internet they still keep switching, since they've all been loaded. The problem is, they don't run smoothly, they judder forward and around. When I actually log on in runescape, everything judders when I walk anywhere.

 

Recently I looked on the ati website and found an update there, even though my computer said there wasn't, so I downloaded it, and it made no difference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halp please.

I have a similar problem on my laptop. I am waiting till i get home tomorrow to get better internet and get on my main computer.

I looked through all the stuff and my computer has all the minimum requirements(I think) to play in hd but every time i try loading it and i keep the screen maximised it just says its my graphics card and i tried gettin updates still says it....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:( I wanna play hd so bad. IF someone can help me please do i'd like to know what i can do to play hd.

You didn't update your graphics card driver did you? Which Nadril does mention in the first post ;) .

 

 

 

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_ ... l&lang=eng

I thought i did i guess i didin't but.. i went to that link and followed the steps and updated it but i still got this....

 

 

:(

Post another dxdiag of the display tab please. (i know this may sound stupid but I may be onto something)

okay, doesn't sound stupid lol i wanna play in hd was hopin that link you sent would work so bad haha.This is both after goin' to that link and following the steps. Whenever the error page pops up its just as it hits loading 3d library or whatever.

 

 

 

 

e: I'm [developmentally delayed]ed.

Well, the drivers are the same in the first and second image -- are you sure you installed the right ones?

 

 

 

No there not, the second post with images now has a 2007 driver from a 2004 one. That was my theory that they didn't update correctly but they did,

 

 

 

I know some other people on the forums were having the same problem with the same onboard graphics and I don't know if they fixed it.

Yeah you're right, I'm blind. I shouldn't do tech help @ 9 am. :P

When I attempt to try this, I get this colourful "pinwheel" type thing on the screen.

 

 

 

Specs:

 

Amd Athlon 64 3500+ (2.2 GHZ)

 

RAM: 512 MB

 

Video card: ATI Radeon 9600 (256 MB)

 

Java is up to date. So are the drivers.

just got back from the beach tried again still doesn't work :wall: hope they fix it so i can.

@Chibby: I've figured out what's wrong with your predicament. According to Jagex, your graphics card -- an Intel 915G -- will NOT run HD. [Source]

 

 

 

@Killerred005: Go more in-depth about this "pinwheel", and provide OS information as well. If the OS you're running is Vista, chances are you don't have enough available RAM to run the game.

 

 

 

------

 

 

 

I'd like to provide a little bit of information/quick FAQ to this guide, since many players are running into similar problems. I'll also provide some preliminary Linux [Debian] support as well.

 

 

 

The most common issue that players are running into is that the game will load, but will look garbled or will crash eventually. The players also report that they have already done everything in the FAQ on RuneScape.com; updating Java and their system drivers and what-not. The problem here is that the system does not have enough available RAM. Nowadays, most operating systems (especially Vista) take up plenty of RAM, and while 512MB is the bare minimum to run most OSes, you'll be cutting it close as far as HD goes.

 

 

 

Some advice to remedy this most common problem: Buy more RAM. Paging/swap file does NOT count. 1-2GB is commonplace, and not expensive -- you can find what you need at Newegg, or your own local hardware store.

 

 

 

Also, keep in mind that 4xAA is rather taxing on older graphics cards, and even if they support them, chances are that the system will run hot/shut off unexpectedly/crash. Always bear in mind your system's specs, and make sure if you run RSHD, run it reasonably.

 

 

 

Some Linux Support:

 

 

 

Confirming if you can run RSHD:

 

 

 

This is a lot trickier to do on Linux than any other machine, since chances are, your machine's processor is being throttled down to conserve power. Many newer processors do that nowadays.

 

 

 

Anyway, the best way to check your machine's information is through a little tool called sysinfo. To install, type sudo apt-get install sysinfo. Run it (found in GNOME under Applications -> System Tools), and go through it systematically.

 

 

 

Click the CPU tab to see your CPU specs. If they appear lower than you think they should, note the processor's model name (mine's an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57), and search online for the machine's specifications.

 

 

 

Click the Memory tab to see how much you have available. This will also tell you the current capacity of your memory and how much swap you have.

 

 

 

Click the Hardware tab, then click the "Graphic card" drop down menu. Expand whatever is there, and this will tell you the type of graphic card currently installed on your machine.

 

 

 

Enabling fullscreen support, direct from the RS Website:

 

 

 

Get to a terminal and type the following to ENABLE the modification.

 

 

 

cd/usr/bin/X11

sudo cp Xorg Xorg-backup

sudo sed -i s/XINERAMA/ZINERAMA/g Xorg 

 

 

 

...then hit CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE to restart X. You do *not* need to restart your entire machine. Note that this will end any graphical programs you're running; make sure to save whatever work you have open at the time.

 

 

 

To DISABLE the modification, type the following.

 

 

 

cd/usr/bin/X11

sudo sed -i s/ZINERAMA/XINERAMA/g Xorg 

 

 

 

...then hit CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE to restart X.

 

 

 

Finding Graphics Drivers:

 

 

 

For most distributions, the graphics driver that you require at bare minimum can be found in the repositories. However, the driver in the repos can often be out-of-date, and *may* not work with RSHD. [Your mileage may vary; I was able to at least enable fullscreen/look at login screen with an out-of-date NVIDIA driver. I say "at least" because I'm not a member yet.]

 

 

 

Installing a graphics driver for Linux is NOT for the faint of heart. If you do this, you must be prepared to re-compile it for EVERY kernel update. If you're not, stop reading now.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: Before you do ANYTHING, make CERTAIN that the OLD driver that you're currently using is UNINSTALLED.

 

 

 

Also, make sure you have the following dependencies resolved [depending on your graphics card this may be incomplete; please seek to resolve these dependencies BEFORE compilation]:

 

 

 

linux-restricted-modules-common

xserver-xorg-core

libc6

libgl1-mesa OR libgl1

libglu1-mesa OR libglu1

libx11-6

libxext6

gcc

libgcc

glibc

glibc-devel

glib2

glib2-devel

gcc-c++

libstdc++

libstdc++-devel

[NVIDIA]nvidia-new-kernel-source

[NVIDIA]nvidia-settings

 

 

 

NVIDIA drivers:

 

 

 

1) Visit the NVIDIA driver download site, select your card and architecture, and download it. After it's downloaded, move it to your /home/$user directory. This is much more convenient for when you have to re-compile.

 

 

 

2) Drop down to another terminal (tty). This is best accomplished by hitting CTRL + ALT + F6. I've used this terminal, or tty6, personally through Ubuntu Linux, with no hitches whatsoever.

 

 

 

3) Type the command sudo chmod a+x NVIDIA*, the * representing a TAB on your part, to autocomplete the name of the driver. This will make it an executable file.

 

 

 

4) Type the command /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop X/GDM/KDM. This is required of the driver install.

 

 

 

5) Type the command sudo ./NVIDIA*, the * representing a TAB on your part, to autocomplete the name of the driver. This will start the installer interface; accept anything that it asks you to, including running nvidia-xconfig on its own.

 

 

 

6) Type the command /etc/init.d/gdm start to start X/GDM/KDM. Provided that nothing went wrong, you should see the NVIDIA logo before your login screen.

 

 

 

Extra: Install a userspace utility like nvidia-settings to confirm the version of your drivers.

 

 

 

ATI Drivers:

 

 

 

I'd prefer if a Linux/ATI user came up and wrote this part, since I have no experience in it. However, I was able to find a How-to here. I cannot confirm if it works or not.

 

 

 

RuneScape [HD] on an x86-64 kernel:

 

 

 

The only way to get RuneScape, let alone HD, work on a 64-bit distribution of Linux, is by using the following tutorial, provided from the Ubuntu Forums. Assume nothing, and read everything in this mod tutorial.

 

 

 

[Tutorial for Java on AMD64 Platforms]

I hope I helped a little bit. :P

@Chibby: I've figured out what's wrong with your predicament. According to Jagex, your graphics card -- an Intel 915G -- will NOT run HD. [source]

 

 

 

I think Jagex is wrong on a few of those. It says the Intel GMA 950 will not run HD but I have been using that onboard card with HD since it's release. On max specs (besides AA) with no lag. Although the 915 may not be fast enough.

 

 

 

@Killerred005: Go more in-depth about this "pinwheel", and provide OS information as well. If the OS you're running is Vista, chances are you don't have enough available RAM to run the game.

 

 

 

If he's running Vista he has enough to run HD because Vista requires a minimum of 512mb of ram. Vista is very good at memory management so he should have no problems with Vista+ RS HD on 512mb of ram. Chances are if your running Vista you have the specs to run RD HD.

 

 

 

The most common issue that players are running into is that the game will load, but will look garbled or will crash eventually. The players also report that they have already done everything in the FAQ on RuneScape.com; updating Java and their system drivers and what-not. The problem here is that the system does not have enough available RAM.

 

 

 

The lack of ram will not garble the screen image. This would be the graphics card problem.

When I attempt to try this, I get this colourful "pinwheel" type thing on the screen.

 

I think he's using a Mac, the pinwheel being the BBOD. (Beach ball of death. Get a mac, hang prettier!)

The RSHD screen loads , but then when i click on "log in" , it freezes ...

 

 

 

I think my graphics card is to bad , it's called SiS 641 vga

 

 

 

Is there a way to get cheap video cards?

 

Or upgrade it?

windows xp sp3 java 1.7 ie7 radeon 9250 2gh p4 1meg ram

 

 

 

having strange problem that HD works fine til i log out once then for some reason all my acceleration is being turned off in the troubleshoot tab of graphics properties and computer becomes unusable til reboot

What if i have Mandriva 2008.1 spring? it's 64 bit, and i do meet the req's.

 

I get unsigned java(1.7 with IcedTea) to work on firefox, But signed/HD does not. By using 1.6 java with Konqueror i manage to get Signed sun java working, Though i get no fullscreen, no sound and every right click is like clicking outside the window. Please bear in mind i know just about nothing of linux at all :oops: (seriously, nothing.)

Problem there is that the OS is 64 bit, and there's no 64 bit java plugin that works with RuneScape.

 

 

 

You have to dig around online to find a way to install a 32-bit browser (i.e. Konqueror or Firefox) AND 32-bit Java onto 64-bit Mandriva. It shouldn't be too hard, hopefully they have a decent forum you can look at.

I can run HD (except for Anti-Alasing), but it is always laggy. It was worse at release so I thought I'd wait a while, but even on a world close to me it lags. Any way to solve this?
