I've recently installed MintLinux on my laptop and am loving it. However, whenever I go to load RuneScape the screen sits at "Checking for updates - 0%" for a very long time - far longer than it does on Windows. I'm using the IcedTea Java that came with the distribution and have updated to the latest release of it. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it something related to Linux?

Try using the unofficial unix client. It seems to work much better than playing in a browser.

I use it almost every day without issues. If you have any problems installing it you should probably post in the thread on runescape forums hikariknight checks it frequently :thumbup:

Thank you for your response.

 

I've decided to give Fedora a try. When I open RuneScape in the web browser I get an error from IcedTea. After refreshing the page 2-3 times the game loads normally without the error, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what exactly is going on and why it works after 2-3 tries? Here is the error that comes up: http://pastebin.com/vjDBKs36
