Runescape and Macs?


Soar

Recommended Posts

I bought a mbp for college a few months ago. I figured it wasn't running runescape at the college because everyone shared the same internet. But recently I've been home and it is doing the same things ( crashing, slow and choppy). I just checked my fps and its hovering between 9 and 10. Is there something wrong with my laptop :/?

 

Specs of it:

Processor Name: Intel Core i7

Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz

 

If you need anymore information on it I'll do what I can :\

Please no MAC vs. PC discussion. Go fight somewhere else.

 

Anyway. I have a 2010 MacBook Pro (i5 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB, Nvidia 330m graphic card) and it runs pretty smooth. Maybe try installing newest java support for mac.

+ Saxon is right :P

Well java was the first time I tried seeing if it was outdated, but its not. I have Firefox not sure if it is much different from safari :x

 

And I love my mac, its just obnoxious to play runescape on.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I just want to point out that Safari should not be the issue, as suggested above. I also have a MBP and RuneScape runs flawlessly for me on Safari. I'm not sure what the problem could be though :( Have you played any other games on your laptop, and if so, do they behave similarly to how RuneScape does?

Are all your drivers up to date?

 

tripsis, I only suggested that safari was the issue seeing as many mac users had told others to use Firefox because of that.

Are you on the dedicated graphics or the Intel integrated? It's definitely not your hardware (or the OS for that matter), as I run RS on full settings sans particles with a 2.4Ghz C2D with an nVidia 9400M.

I believe you can manually switch between the two in System Preferences > Energy Saver. Though I do not have a Mac with dual GPUs, so I could be wrong.

 

To the above, Safari previously had a bug with Runescape where, when loaded as a 64-bit program, it would not display properly. The obvious solution was to load Safari in 32-bit, but the switch was not too intuitive for regular consumers. Meh, I still use FireFox for Runescape despite the fixes to Safari.
