after we heard that the latest java update has a bug, i didnt update it yet

iam asking is it safe now to update to latest java ?

 

thanks :)

Depends what version of java you are using, both we and Jagex recommend sticking to the Java6 branch as RuneScape doesn't work too well on Java7 (also Java7 is the one that's had a lot of bad press recently due to all the security holes).

Couldn't give us the link to java 6 download could you, can't seem to find it.

thanks for ur reply :) but i still have 1 small question

why sometimes the in-game screen freeze ?? i thought its relate to the java version, i had this problem a time ago but it disappears later then now it reappears

 

 

 

1 more thing, after checking "Program and features" in control panel i found those 3 java files

i want to uninstall my java and re install java 6

 

Certainly, the download is at http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp (Keep in mind java IS working to remove it completely apparently, so it's worth getting while you can).

 

If you are doing an uninstall of previous version, please do it in the following order;

 

Uninstall previous versions of java

Restart your computer

Download the above file using Internet Explorer (it's important that you use IE for this step)

Install java

Restart your computer once more

You are now good to go.

 

The restarts are semi-important, because they ensure that the uninstall/install cleans up properly and doesn't leave temporary files that can cause issues later on.

This. I had problems even accessing the 07 game due to an issue between Java 7-15 and Win8, and when I submitted a technical query Jagex even told me to downgrade, which worked perfectly.

Yep, I had issues with Java7 and win8. Went back to v6 and now working fine. Just make sure you install the 32bit version.
