Hey guys, I always get a message when I click High Detail that RS was unable to :? I have all the things they suggest when I click on advanced info, have plenty of Ram to spare, Java is updated, Windows updates are done, but I still get that message? It's weird because on the other 2 computers in my house it works perfectly fine, meaning that it will boot up, but those are way too slow and laggy. The only difference between this one is that it's a Vista and the other two are XP. I'm pretty sure it's not my firewall either because that would be weird if it starts up in low detail just fine..

 

 

 

Any alternative suggestions? I've tried contacting Jagex, sent a message a week ago but didn't get a response yet so figured I'd try it here. Official forums are no help either :P .

I assume you are having the same problem whether using internet explorer-type window or RS client. Do you get an error message? Have you tried updating drivers, making sure hardware acceleration is at maximum? I used to have a problem when it got to loading 3d objects it would simply stop, but I don't get that anymore and haven't changed anything. Also make sure your window is large enough to show the entire picture when downloading, and I suppose you've tried adjusting the resolution in-game? Sorry if this seems obvious but I don't know what you have or haven't tried.

I've asked the Forum mods to move this thread.

 

 

 

Do you know what the make/model of your graphics card is? That would help out a lot.

Moved.

cocacolabottle, I would assume that, since you are on Vista, that you are also running an NTFS drive partition, correct? I therefore have to ask, did you set up proper permissions on a cache folder (BTW, the folder should be named ".jagex_cache_32", not "rscache", and should be located at the base level of your drive, or in the windows folder, strangely enough...) that Jagex needs to be able to run the signed applet, such that even a limited user has 100% access, but only within the scope of that folder? If you did not, then this might be causing your problems. :?

 

 

 

(If you've already done this, then you have my sincerest apologies for having only been a mere annoyance. :( ...)

I find it funny how for some people the folder has to have admin rights and some they don't. It never prompted me (exept Java the first time, as on XP) for such a thing, and I have that cache.

Wow sorry I totally forgot I posted this a few days haha, to answer your question: I think my graphics gard is an ATI Radeon X1650 SE, is that possible? I just looked it up and that was the only name I could find that sounds like it could be a graphics card :P . And what do you mean the proper permissions on a cache folder? I have no idea what you mean :oops: .

The card is capable; makes me think it's a driver issue.

 

 

 

You might find an OpenGL Extensions Viewer and run it to see what OpenGL levels you are reporting. Might be misinstalled drivers or something more exotic.
