Leoo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I've just managed to get myself a 27inch iMac (very high specs) and I can play RuneScape at full screen in the highest details. That would be great if only Safari doesn't freeze or crash RuneScape when I adjust the window. Other than Firefox, are there any other browsers that are good for playing RuneScape on a Mac? Firefox and the official RuneScape client does not work with Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leik Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Tried SwiftKit (I believe they have a Mac version) or that offical Jagex Launcher? LIVERPOOL WILL WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Chrome is getting better and is much faster as advertised; but its only faster because it has no support for huge amounts of very common coding. Their java and mac support are both a bit iffy still.

Leoo Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Tried SwiftKit (I believe they have a Mac version) or that offical Jagex Launcher? Didn't think of Swiftkit actually... and the RuneScape client only uses [Caution: Executable File] files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Could try Swiftkit. It's run by another large fansite so it's safe. If you need support you would need to go here: http://forums.zybez.net/forum/510-swiftkit-mac/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoo Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 SwiftKit works great! I used to use it on my Windows computers. Anyway it doesn't freeze or crash when playing around with the window dimensions. Now I just need to get used to playing on such a big screen!

Ambler Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Random note, as I have a 19in widescreen, and if I am dong certain things, fullscreen is really annoying, due to the distanced travveled by the mouse (eg dungeoneering. Opening doors getting killed before your cursor reaches food)For certain things, you may want to consider going into fixed screen size, as it allows you to watcha movie while scapin' On topic though, firefox works fine on my mac fine for rs.

Joeybobjohn Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Worst case scenario: Use firefox 3. It's still a great browser, and it's what I use to play. Just make sure your java is up-to-date and firefox 3 ought to work beatifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox isn't that good - it black screen out a lot (the java app goes blank)I've never experienced a white/black screen on I.E but it seems to me that it lags the mostChrome is lags the least although it does white screen a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
