System Update?

[Big_Stingman]

Well I was in the middle of the Halloween event when the 10 min update counter started. I went to the home page, and they said that some people were having trouble logging in, so they were updating.

 

I thought this wouldn't affect me, as I was already playing. It is now well after the update, and I keep getting this.

 

AN ERROR HAS OCCURED

 

 

RuneScape has been updated

 

To get the latest version of RuneScape, please return to the front page and access the game as normal. This will immediately update your version of RuneScape.

 

 

Ironic much? I have already deleted my cache, and am still getting the error. Any ideas?

Did you try refreshing? or closing out and going back to runescape?

Did you try refreshing? or closing out and going back to runescape?

 

Both. Several times.

Uninstall and reinstall Java? Restart computer? Try a different web browser?

[Vulxai]

When do you get the message? When you try to click login, or as soon as that log in page should come up?

[Big_Stingman]

Java didn't change so there is no need to reinstall that. I also get the same error in Google Chrome.

 

I get the error page after I click on the play now button. It chills at checking for updates at 1%. When I delete the cache it loads the game code up to 100%, and then tries to check for updates (which is where it fails at 1%).

So I fixed it by changing "http://www.runescape.com/game.ws?j=1" to "http://www.runescape.com/game.ws?j=2" in the URL bar. I have no idea why it worked or why I tried to change it. That is very weird.

Or change it to "http://www.runescape.com/game.ws". Seems to work for me every time there's an update.
