I am on a mac with OSX 10.8.5

 

I cannot seem to run the beta in the browser so I was wondering how I get my client to work with the beta?

 

thanks

Make a copy of the client and call it runescape beta or w/e so you can tell them apart

Then right click show package contents.

Open info.plist in textedit

Find

<string>http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws</string>

Change it to

<string>http://world210.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws</string>

Boom your duplicate client now loads the beta.

 

Basically in all cases of a java beta the above tweak should work, just change the world number to one of the beta server numbers so that the client is being specifically told to load from that server rather than using w/e default instructions runescape sends (aka loading the game from a randomly choosen normal server)

 

As a note the language:0 bit may be different if your client is set to a language other than english (think they run 1-4 for the non-eng ones), I don;t think the beta has any foreign servers so you'd be best of making sure you set it back to 0 for your beta client.

ty bunches sy, worked a treat

Another question actually, i assume what happens in beta stays in beta and does not affect the main game correct?

Yes
