It seems that every time I pass through varrock square or Ardy square I lag and runescape freezes. Is there any way to stop this?

It's just the game loading. Is there a black area you see on the minimap? Then after you lag the black is replaced with actual map?

Nope, it happens when I pass between two portions of the map yes but it freezes up and dosn't come back no matter now long you wait. And if you switch to a different tab and back it just shows a white screen. Also if you close the tab runescape is on a few seconds later all of my other tabs close.

Change your graphics option to low detail. It's most likely because your system can't handle the amount of people in big cities such as those.

it used to happen to me on my mums laptop, whenever i entered catherby bank i would lag like crazy and i would freeze.

 

it kinda went away after a while though.

Erm...windows vista, 8 gigs of ram, nvidia 9400 gt graphics card. Does this not cover RS in HD? I mean it seems like RS would be no problem compared to games like Sup Com in max detail.

Windows Vista is not a problem.

 

 

 

It runs perfectly fine and has had less issues with it than windows xp ever did.

 

 

 

The main issue people hit with vista is they try to run the aero theme when they don't have enough ram or graphics and then incur lag and program crashes because of this.

 

 

 

To the OP it sounds to me like buggy java.

 

 

 

Java is always a bit messy as it installs, check add/remove programs you'll notice you have like "java update 13" "jave update 23" etc etc etc. Uninstall EVERYTHING there that is java or java update. Then hit the java site and get the clean install of the latest version, this tends to clean up a ton of issues.
