r2-pleasent Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Ok, this is a really major problem. I just bought a brand new Dell 8000 Series Desktop, with 1GB RAM and 3.2GHz processor, which should run top quality games at high speed. Yet, when I log on Runescape, it's super choppy! It runs for about 10 secs, then freezes for 2 secs, then repeats. The only other thing that could be causing this is my connection, which works fine on Xbox Live. The only questionable part of it is that I am using a wireless adapter...Anyone know what might be causing these problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 All I can think of is update your hosts file to block the very annoying runescape ads ;) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 So what's your connection? Chances are the servers were just under a heap of strain :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splotchy Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Wow thats wierd. I have a $500 dell and it works fine. :? Except it lags a lot when theres a flash banned on top so i have to set it to low quality. :x Probably not your problem though Woot you can edit again! Have you tried reinstalling or updating your java? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonda Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Two words: Sun Java Newer Motherboards are having issues with sun java and apparently no one wants to fix it :? I had the same issue as you (accept not as good specs) and after about 3 weeks of investigation I had fianlly come to the conclusion that it was sun java. Dun dun dun!!! I downloaded microsoft java VM, and voila, it worked like a charm! Eurika! Voila! Bunderbar! Qazuenheit! Sa cre bluer! Wee-wee! ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Tigra Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Your wireless connector might not be recieving well, it happened to me and RS ran just like you're describing. Plug it in once and see how it runs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Alfabet Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 update graphic drivers and use microsoft virtual machine instead of sun java. it doesn't come standard on xp machines anymore, but u can find it if u google it abit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoe2002 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Iv stopped buying from dell after i realized that i can get a computer for 1/3 of the price while being 3 times better. 3 grand for a computer...geez. Go on ebay you can get a Dell Precision for about 1/3 that much. A good Alienware for 1/2 as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmeski Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Check to make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 You can be running runescape on Collossus and you will still lag if you have a crappy connection. Consider upgrading your broadband and make sure you have configured sun java (the only secure java, msjava is suseptable to viruses) properly. read the stickies Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

dragonst0rm Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 it dont matter about the cost of your comp. some times the severs get so full that you gat lags and if there are any adverts on the web page of any other web page that you are on at the same time they can cause rs to lag as well. it also mgiht be your internet connetion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Why the hell was this bumped? And the guy mentioned just an Alienware, not a refurbished one so get off my case. I obviously forgot to defend myself 6 MONTHS ago when this post was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
