My computer recently, and randomly, stopped running RS. It only loads sometimes when I click my desktop shortcut. When it does get past that point, it is slow loading the game, and then if I manage to log in the game runs ok for a few seconds, then lags extremely bad, and freezes then drops. I used to be able to play it with no problem, and it does this on either detail level. A friend of mine also had similar problems.

 

 

 

I tried updating my graphics card, updating java, deleted a bunch of junk off my computer (which needed to be done anyway), all to no avail.

 

 

 

My computer still does everything else normally. I can still play Diablo 2, which lags, but no more than normal. I can surf the internet, but it just won't play RS.

 

 

 

Anyone have any other suggestions that may help?

Even if you play low detail mode?

yup

Run spyware and antivirus? If it started occuring randomly recently, that's all I can really think of. Sorry

My computer does all that at noon every day, I guess I'll try one when I get home.

 

 

 

Anyone else have a thought about it?

Well if other games stopped working then I'd say your graphics card just decided to go south, but since Diablo is working as normal, idk what to tell you.

It would be nice to know the specifications of your PC. Ram, CPU speed and type, Video card and OS.
