Up until today runescape has always been working perfectly.But recently, I cannot get past trought the "starting game engine" load zone.I tried deleting my temporary internet files.I tried reinstalling java,but still nothing.The last things I did were installing new microsoft critical updates for ie and a game called ragnarok online.

 

 

 

I tried with mozila firefox . the game did load but it was horribly horribly slow I had trouble typing my name.

 

 

 

I heard from a freind ragnarok overrides java could it be it?

dont know about ragnarok, but have u cleared you cache/cookies recently? if you havent go into ur internet options and clear them.

yes I did.Never had problems for like 3 years .now its pretty sudden

Have you tried removing the folder that contains the Runescape data?

 

 

 

C:\Windows\.file_store_32

 

 

 

Rename that folder to something else, I suggest something like ".file_store_32backup" and try running Runescape again, it should download everything from scratch.

Well I tried what you said.But, it didn't work.

Soooooooo

 

 

 

anyone else has a solution?

 

 

 

or know if ragnarok online causes some effect on java

try deleting ragnarok?

Have you even checked the Ragnarok website for issues concerning Java? I dont know anything about the game, ive never even seen it. Is it even Java based?

 

 

 

If it starts loading the applet, and just freezes its probley just a bug. Have you tried loading another world? Check for a new release or Upgrade of java, it shouldent be hard to fix.

Assuming none of the above worked then perhaps you could try setting your browser back to defaults and try again? It could be that updating your browser has made some screwy change to the options... Just open up preferances, clear all cache and then reset everything back to defaults...

 

 

 

Please let me know if this doesn't work and I'll look into it further for you!

Well, I managed to get to the log in screen but for some reason its going extreamly slow.Typing a few letters takes time also.I tried loggin in but then I saw some stuff and then I got logged out.

 

 

 

 

 

As for the restore to defaults is that in the internet options?

well after like 8 days I still cannot run it.

Make sure you have Java 1.5 runtime from Sun, not the Microsoft VM. Then, in internet explorer 6, go into tools->internet options->advanced and make sure that the option under

 

Java (Sun): 

Use JRE 1.5.0_** for  

 

is checked.

 

 

 

If that doesn't make it start working, hit control-alt-delete and bring up the task manager. Click on processes, and sort the list by "CPU." Make sure that the higher numbers are at the top. If there is anything over about 20% there, try killing the process by right-clicking and selecting "end process," and then try to load runescape again. While you have the task manager open, click on the performance tab and make sure under "physical memory" that you have at least 75 mb available.

About Ragnarok Online -- it is not java based. It should not interfere with Runescape; I used to play all the time (but have now quit) and it did not interfere with runescape :)
