July 10, 200620 yr I met this problem a few months ago, but ignored it and stopped playing RS for awhile. But now I want to play again... First of all this is my comp: Intel Celeron 3 at 533 Mhz 320 MB RAM (I was sitting at 64 before I bought some more :roll: ) 10 GB Hard Drive Windows 98SE Internet: Dial-Up 56k ... :cry: ... It's pretty painful using this computer to do much of anything really. Anyways, after RSs game engine was updated enabling all that lower RAM usage, sounds for low and high quality, and all that jazz. I was expecting for this update to finally let me play my game just a little smoother... But it was not to be... My game performance was CRIPPLED, even from before. I ran full scans with Spybot, Ad-Aware, and PestPatrol free version and removed anything that I found. I ran a scan with avast! and AntiVir and removed any viruses they found. I did the same with ewido and a-squared, and removed any trojans and worms that I had. I freed up my hard drive and did everything else I could think of that could make my computer run RS faster, but to no avail. Firefox with optimal settings, the RS official client...nothing... I now have to ask you all for your help... Anyone got ideas? Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug

July 10, 200620 yr DSL I belive you mean ADSL ;). and my comp sucks too Intel Pentium 4@ 2.8ghz 1GB Ram Dual Hard Drives (160gb and 80gb) Windows XP/Fedora Core 56k Dialup Current Goals80/80 Fletching60/75 Woodcutting97/100 Combat

July 10, 200620 yr Author DSL I belive you mean ADSL ;). and my comp sucks too Intel Pentium 4@ 2.8ghz 1GB Ram Dual Hard Drives (160gb and 80gb) Windows XP/Fedora Core 56k Dialup :shock: That comp is way better than mine I'll tell you. Unless the P4 doesn't have HT. Then you can just forget about that. And 1GB RAM is pretty much the optimal amount for anything now (maybe 1.5, too much RAM actually reduces performance) and you have 240 GB of space...that's 24 times more than I have :roll: . And you need Professional if you haven't already got one, and I'm almost garrenteeing that your 56k is going lightning fast compared to my comp... Anyways...anymore suggestions? I set the Temporary Internet Files storage limit to 15MB, so I can accomodate just RS and a tiny bit of other stuff. And thanks mbridges :) Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug
