Miner_Guy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The new better detail that jagex just added is terrible, it makes your pc lagg so much! Honestly i couldn't care less about the graphics just as long as they aren't that bad. The old grahpics were good and your pc could handle it! So i don't understand why jagex made the grahpics better, your pc laggs it, can't handle it. (unless you have a new pc which the majority of people playing runescape dont). :x It took me 10 minutes just to get to the login screen, then another 5 minutes because my screen was black, for it to come up with my player! I think they should have a button which gives you the old graphics so you can choose which detail you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gabe Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just wait a few damn days! The servers are slow because everyone is downloading the new graphics/updates... Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth_king Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just wait a few damn days! The servers are slow because everyone is downloading the new graphics/updates... Indeed. I guess I'm lucky, my Mac runs those graphics without even really trying to run them. Smooth as butter. Just make sure you have the right RAM/Graphics card, etc. and it should work fine. If that doesn't work, relax and play another game, like Oblivion or a game you like, wait it out until your PC can handle it.

Rs is full of new bugs and glitches right now, and it's slowing things down. I'm sure Jagex is working hard to sort things out, just give it some time. Fire Cape - Aug 14, 08.

WOW you took those words straight out of my mouth. :thumbsup: =D> Couldn't agree with you anymore. It's deffinetly going to take me time to get used to the new graphix and webpage, without a doubt. I'm all the way with a 3 button option: 1.New Graphic Low Detail 2.New Graphic High Detail(fullscreen) 3.Old Graphic Detail. I knew they were going to make a HUGE graphic update but I had no idea it was going to be this drastic. I mean a new webpage too? I loved the Old Webpage. Thought it was nearly perfect... EDIT:Although I do feel kind of bad for JAGeX becuase 1 month their begging and ranting about how much they want a change in graphix then the next day when they get it, a majority has to rant about how ucky it is.

All_Is_Great Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I understand your problems, and for me, its even lagging on "Low Detail". I originally thought they were gonna keep the old graphics and add this HD as another choice, but they just had to change the old, real Low Detail as well :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
failbait Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Don't get all bent out of shape, just wait a few days. There's many problems to be fixed, and I'm sure they're not ignorant to that. Fire Cape - Aug 14, 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 While thing will surely get smoothed out a bit within the next few days, I can't help but worry that Jagex has gotten ahead of themselves a bit. Part of Runescape's appeal is the ability to just jump on from almost any computer and play. The inclusion of system-hindering graphics aren't exactly something to get excited about, this may have serious detrimental impact. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

You don't have to play on high detail, you know...It's not detrimental at all. JaGex is trying to compete with other companies by upping their graphics 'cause nowadays, graphics are important, because kids have no lives...And want to play a game thats so authentic that it's almost liker eal life. Anyway, excuse my tangent. They're upping their graphics to get graphics obsessed players or people that like graphics. If they can't run it, upgrade the computer. If you can't do that, oh freakin' well. But the point is you don't have to play it on this detail.

BabyPunchers Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Your computer must not be very good. It's not Jagex's fault. The reqs are extremely low. I can run the max detail on full screen at the GE and have no lag at all. And the computer isn't even that good. It's not Jagex's fault. Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie.

Biggieg333 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Wanna fix the lag? Go on the RuneScape Main Page, find "Play Now" towards the top and roll your mouse over it. Select Java options, and change it to either of the unsigned Java applets. BOOM, no more lag, fixed it right up for me :) . Don't play on the High Detail version if you can't handle keeping your complaints to yourself. Join BsK today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Odly enough, there actualy is a button for the old detail levels :thumbup: And I dont lag at all. Even my 5 year old computer dosen't mind. And well graphics dont change the game itself, there is an atmosphere to the new graphics that will always be there and makes grinding just a bit more enjoyable. This will be a great thing even after the novelty wears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had completely forgotten about that from when my old computer wouldn't let me run Runescape. :D Yeah theres lag and bugs but thats because it's only been out for a day. Give it a week or so and it'll run perfectly. Remember this is just the Beta and there are bound to be problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggieg333 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Lmao Snap, that always works. The old detail mode would just be the button to the left of the HD mode on the detail select page correct? Join BsK today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press existing user, go to "Runescape," get to the login screen...Oh, nevermind. I just checked, it appears everything is in high detail automatically...

Ravenkana Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Answer this riddle, oh wise ones: Why am I lagging on a computer that can comfortably play WoW, Spore, and Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword? If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare? Worldwide thermonuclear war? Pie eating contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Mage Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Answer this riddle, oh wise ones: Why am I lagging on a computer that can comfortably play WoW, Spore, and Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword? I'ld love to know how you can play a game that isn't out for another 60+ days and hasn't been pre'd by any release groups. Also have you tried upgrading to the latest build of java? You make it sound like running through a few level 87 monsters is hard which it really shouldn't be at your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
