Marius Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 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).

Marius Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 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 javaRestart your computerDownload the above file using Internet Explorer (it's important that you use IE for this step)Install javaRestart your computer once moreYou 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.

Wildwynde Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 after we heard that the latest java update has a bug, i didnt update it yetiam asking is it safe now to update to latest java ? thanks :) 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.

Stidor Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yep, I had issues with Java7 and win8. Went back to v6 and now working fine. Just make sure you install the 32bit version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
