So me and my friend was going to come back to runescape and mine worked just fine however my friend has a crazy good gaming computer and he cant run runescape he reinstalled java and redownloaded it but still when he enetered the game it used up 99% of his disk space and then crashed later on him very soon it is implayable is there anyway to fix this

Can you give us some more information (specs, operating system, etc.) on your friend's computer so people might be able to help out better? I have a hard time believing that RuneScape used up all that disk space on any computer unless it's very old. Of course it is possible I suppose that he filled the hard drive with other junk and so it just crashes often but I don't find that likely. Can he run other games and stuff just fine or are there problems with those too?

No he can run the highest demanding games possible like the witcher 3 max setting 100 fps and his specs are listed below:

cyperpower pc

amd fx -6300 six mega core processor

8gb of ram

64bit operating system

Is the hard drive excessively full..? And is it Windows or another operating system? I'm just as puzzled right now but maybe check on whether the hard drive was full, or try deleting the Jagex cache and running RuneScape again...if that still fails maybe using the downloadable client.

It didn't use 99% of his disk space. Did it use 99% of his RAM or 99% of his CPU?

It used 99% disk i promise i watched it use it and it is windows 8 im telling you im quite puzzled because ive never heard of a case like this and i dont think its excessivley full cause he has a terrabit and he is a stickler when it comes to playing games you have to download not to long ago about a week he cleaned his system 

I can't say I've heard of anything like it either. I don't suppose he is willing to back up/create a restore point and then try it again? If you're going to download it make sure to use the official source and not ads off Google or something.

Sounds to me like a hard drive that is on its last legs - quite a common symptom is incorrectly showing space as used up to the point of causing crashes.

hes used the offical source and he can play literally any game with it only using at the most 7% but when he goes to runescape it ok until hes in game then he has 99%

So either his hard drive is [bleep]ed like Sy said or you're looking at RAM, not disk space. Try decreasing the maximum RAM Java can use.

Um... quick question; What is the difference between drive c and drive d?

 

Supposedly drive C shouldn't hold more programs and such as drive D does...

It's just a partition of your hard drive. Pretend it doesn't exist and you'll be fine.

On most computers with one parition, D:\ is your CD/DVD drive.

Will moving all your drive c data into your drive d speed anything up?

No. Pretend it doesn't exist.

If you actually have two HDDs, in theory it would improve your read/write speeds if you spread your programs between the two. But if it's just one physical drive that's been partitioned it will do absolutely nothing.

Whoooooa ty! Sorry, im drunk!

External HDDs are very cheap these days...
