Ellac Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I keep randomly blackscreening when I play RS. I didn't have this problem until I got my new computer. If there is a way to stop this, how would I? Or anything to make them less frequent at least? Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I can't think of much except trying different browsers, RS client, changing from DirectX/OpenGL, trying fixed/resizable. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellac Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I tried the client and rather than blackscreening it just closed. Switching from OpenGL to DirectX made me lag horribly, and I can't see the screen if it's in fixed mode. I'll try different browser and see if it does anything.

Lord Paul Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Indeed, fixed sucks. I had to swap for a bit to do the torch part for Firemaker's curse---- o boy :thumbdown: Could also be a weird combination of different graphics settings you have.

Kaida23 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've also found that the RS client simply closes randomly. It's a real pain. Have you tried running it in SwiftKit? I've found that it runs better than in the browser. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero.

Ellac Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'll try using swiftkit if chrome doesn't work. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeRambo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My entire screen just freezes randomly when I run around. Happens often when running to the Trollheim herb patch .. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.

Sinkhan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The only configuration I know which reduces the occurrences is fixed window with software rendering, but even then I still get it at least once a day. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellac Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Just updated my Java, thanks Grand :thumbup: And apparently that did nothing, because I just blackscreened again. :wall: Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkace21 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm having the same issue. However. Swiftkit white screens after 20 minutes or so Chrome Black screens after 20 minutes or so Firefox randomly crashes when I play Don't even know where to find the official client. RAGE at java for just completely being [bleep]ing broken. People in glass houses should shower in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellac Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Just had a nice fit of blackscreens. I was trying to catch a magpie impling, so as I ran towards it, I blackscreened. Logged back in, and the impling was gone. I see it again, click on it, run 2 steps and blackscreen again. Log back in a third time, and the impling is gone again. Go to return to summoning, and I blackscreen. I log back in, see the impling, and run for it, blackscreening again. When I log back in AGAIN, I was able to catch it and continue summoning. In total, that's 4 blackscreens in under 5 minutes of playing. :mellow: Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anybody with a top-of-the-line graphics card blackscreen at all? My graphics card sucks, but I never blackscreened until Jagex began massively increasing the CPU requirements to play RS :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_korny Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does anybody with a top-of-the-line graphics card blackscreen at all? My graphics card sucks, but I never blackscreened until Jagex began massively increasing the CPU requirements to play RS :wall: Its hardly top-of-the-line anymore, but I use an ATI 4870 on my computer. I used to get blue screens while playing (specifically while loading contents of the map) but that was driver issues. Since a fix many years ago, I don't think I've had a problem. On my laptop, I also have a stronger graphics processor. No problems. I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way.

HexiledRazz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I had the same problem a while ago. But it mysteriously went away when i started using the downloadable client; it didn't even do the close down on me. However i could tell when i would have gotten a black screen if i had been playing on a browser because it would always stem from the same issue: Getting a large amount of lag. Say from running through the GE or something. The problem went away entirely with both the browser and DL client when i started playing on my newly built computer. But when i was still playing on my old computer, i posted a thread on here and got a couple of theories. One that stood out was that the problem somehow related to ATI graphic cards. Which would make sense because it my old desktop had an ATI card in it. However, my new one is an AMD Radeon 6600, and I've had no problems. My suggestion would be to start trying 3rd party clients like swiftkit and try to find one that minimizes/eliminates the problem. Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

Kaida23 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Don't even know where to find the official client.http://www.runescape.com/g=runescape/downloads.ws From the bar at the top of the main RS page, it's under Game Info > Downloads.

Ellac Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think I figured out what the problem is/was. My whole screen just turned black, then came back on along with a popup saying a driver was unsuccessfully installed. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature!

GM Dutch Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 its kind a weird.. not facing this problem tbh.
