December 28, 201015 yr So, I recently posted a topic about a graphical problem whilst playing Runescape. I was told to update my graphics card driver and update Java. Both of which I did. Still the problem persists, any other advice? Thanks, John.
December 28, 201015 yr Clear the runescape cacheOr turn graphics settings down as you clearly dont have a gpu tht supports something rs is trying to use.

December 28, 201015 yr Author I have played RS on the highest resolution for a long time now and never had these problems. I play much more demanding games on this computer with little or no problems at all. The current GPU I'm using is the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS with the latest driver installed.
December 28, 201015 yr A games general demand level doesn't cover specifics. Eg when sims 3 came out many people could run much more complex games, but not sims 3 because their graphics card didn't have the specific pixel shader element it uses Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue
December 28, 201015 yr Do these graphical oddities occur as soon as you log in, or after you've been playing for a while? Have they also started occuring in other games, recently?
December 28, 201015 yr Author That explains it a little bit more, which is frustrating as I do not plan on updating my GPU just for Runescape. Also how do I clear the 'Runescape cache?' ^^ To the above post, occurs usually after about 15/30 minutes of play. It does NOT affect any other games I play.
December 28, 201015 yr Search your drive for 'cache' and see what turns up, then delete the right one. That's what I do anyway :P. It has a fairly obvious name iirc.

December 28, 201015 yr Author Search your drive for 'cache' and see what turns up, then delete the right one. That's what I do anyway :P. It has a fairly obvious name iirc. I have found 32 'cache' files relating to Runescape, should I delete them all? Could using 'Swiftkit' be the problem? Thanks again, John.
December 28, 201015 yr ^^ To the above post, occurs usually after about 15/30 minutes of play. It does NOT affect any other games I play. That's odd. If it starts happening after a little while, it's usually a sign that your graphics card is starting to age. But if it doesn't occur on other games, that's probably not the case. Deleting your cache might work, though I think it's unlikely, since your problems don't occur right away. For me, my game cache is located under C:\Windows\.jagex_cache_32\runescape. You can safely delete the entire folder, as far as I know. You could try to change your display mode from OpenGL to Direct3D, or vice versa, in-game. You can access those via the "custom" button in the graphics options menu. If that doesn't fix anything, you could try tuning down various graphics options. While your PC may have handled RS just fine in the past, the game engine has steadily been changing, and something might've changed that causes issues. Swiftkit, hrm, I don't know. Probably not, but I have no idea how Swiftkit determines what Java to use.
December 28, 201015 yr Author Thanks for all your replies, I have removed the cache and all of its contents and started using Runescape via the browser and not Swift kit. This seems to of fixed the problem for now. Thankyou very much, John.
