NJE03 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have been having this problem ever since I returned to school, I suspect it has something to do with the awful internet here but perhaps there is a solution. I can not log into Runescape. On the rare occasion that I get into the game I repeatedly disconnect from the server or freeze up with lag after about 5 minutes rendering me unable to play. I have tried everything I can think of and my patience is wearing thin. I am to the point now where I may have to completely quit for awhile if I do not solve this problem. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated... Notes: -My computer has 2 gig ram -I have latest java version -I have restarted my pc many times -I have closed almost every program except Runescape -Rest of the internet works fine -Nothing has worked so far [spoiler=Stats:]Updated December 22, 2011: Total level - 1442 - 170M+ XP , Combat level - 115Combat skills: Attack - 90, Defence - 99 (24.45m+ XP), Strength - 90, Constitution - 99 (16.42M+ XP) Ranged - 99 (13.32M+ XP), Prayer - 60, Magic - 99 (13.25M+ XP)Non-Combat skills: Cooking - 99 (13.80M+ XP), Woodcutting - 99 (31.95M+ XP), Fishing - 90, Firemaking - 99 (24.82M+), Crafting - 90, Smithing - 90, Mining - 85, Runecrafting - 60, Dungeoneering - 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Try deleting the Rs cache? Maybe that would do the trick, maybe the new information didn't properly sync with the old one, there has been 2 updates today as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it has been doing this for well over a month now. Anyways I will try that.

Bauke Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The bug has nothing to do with lag. I suggest trying to ping the Runescape server you mostly play on.

JoeDaStudd Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 A few things just popped into my head. Have you restarted your router (leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes to ensure you get a new ip address)? I'm guessing yes, but I thought I'd best check. Download and run the TCP IP Optimiser from here. Download and run CCleaner (untick the unused file extensions option on the registry side). Ensure you IP address is set to auto (Start -> Control Panel -> Network connections -> [the one your using to connect] Properties -> Internet Protocol [Properties] and make sure its on auto).

Request timed out. sent 4, recieved 0, lost 4 (100% loss) Those are the results I always get, even though I never lag. Even though the url doesn't change with the world, I believe that you can still ping individual worlds. I forget the exact format, but when you load the client page, it will say in you browser "connecting to.." and it gives a specific world. Look at that, and replace that world with your homeworld and try to ping it. Otherwise, do you have any antivirus programs, and which ones? Some are terrrible bandwidth hogs. Whenever I have connection problems, I just disconnect and reconnect to the network... you could always try that.

NJE03 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I do have to use cisco clean access agent in order to access my school network, this is the only difference between school and home that I can think of, and I never lag at home. This may have something to do with it perhaps?

This may have something to do with it perhaps? Quite possibly. I just googled that program and found a few other college students who were having lag problems with it.

Basically it attempts to send a data packet to the RS server to check if it is functioning. However, the information you got showed that it could not connect at all, which is a little strange.

Lol I've been getting the same result for years and I never lag, so just pinging www.runescape.com is irrelevant. What you have to do is find the world address and ping that, but if he can connect, he will not timeout, so it appears to be irrelevant too. As of now, I don't have any ideas of what could be causing this, but it could be the program mentionned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take someone more skilled then me to find that I believe. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
