Graphics go to Safe Mode every time I open world map

The problem is basically in the title.

 

I use Runescape official client that's made by Jagex.

I have to restart client each time after accidentally clicking world map to get either opengl or directx to work.

 

This does not happen with dungeoneering map thankfully.

 

 

Ideas?

I want jagex to put resource dungeons and dungeoneering skill doors to dungeoneering floors so I can dungeon and get dungeoneering xp while I dg so I don't have to dg to get dg exp, but I can dg while I dg :)?

Don't open the world map would be the immediate solution to avoid the issue.

 

More long-term it would appear some opengl/directx related bug on your system. Does the same issue occur in both opengl and direct x graphic modes? Have you got all the drivers up-to-date etc?

I think its a known bug, and you'll probably find that it doesn't always happen (for a while I was getting it maybe every 5th time on average). The really annoying part for me when I get this is that I have to reload the game to get back out of safe mode. I don't know where to find it anymore, but I think it's a known bug. Not sure if it affects open gl or just direct x though. I had assumed they fixed it by now since I last got it weeks ago, but I've also not opened up the map in a while. The easiest way to deal with it if its bugging you is to use another world map that can be opened up in a tab, rather than the one in game (which also skips the super annoying load times for their map) such as ours, which can be found at http://www.tip.it/runescape/html/world_map.htm

Thanks for the replies.

I should have all the drivers updated, also have deleted jagex cache earlier with no success.

 

About not opening my map, I'd be glad to do so... but sometimes when I attempt to click on money pouch or minimap, I keep accidentally clicking world map, which leads to almost required reboot of client.

I also click "world" map while dungeoneering a lot, which sometimes makes me keep clicking world map after floors too.

 

But if this is indeed a common bug like Randox mentioned (which I somewhat hope for), I'll be looking for it to be fixed by Jagex eventually.
