Runescape BAD LAG, help please?

I was bored, so i decided to go on Runescape again.

First thing I noticed was the loading time was a lot longer than usual.

While playing the game the lag was TERRIBLE, I was getting about an estimated 7 fps

I checked, nothing was hogging up my internet except IE

Why is this happening, my old crappy desktop that ran windows XP played it on high and ran smoothly, and that had terrible specs.

My current config:

ATI Radeon HD 5570 1gb

Intel Pentium Dual Core e6700 @3.2ghz

4gb RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium

    Sir, I have the answer to your question. RuneScape (AKA Jagex) has been doing alot of Jagex scripting in the past few 1-3 months, it has been disrupting the players and bugging the scripts. This be causing LAG. No matter what computer you have, there is always a solution to RuneScape Lag. And thats where I come in!

    Step 1- Cookies

    Clear all cookies. Before this, save any websites you do not go on often but still use to your favorites. To clear cookies, open internet and go to tools. Click on "Internet Options". Look for "Delete Browsing History". Click that, then a box will appear. You can delete Temporary Internet Files, or you can click ok to get rid of cookies, sites, etc.

    Step 2- Extra Programs

    To close extra programs, go to the bottom right corner of your screen on the taskbar. There you can look at volume control, your internet connection, and most likely, your virus protection program . Any other programs, such as Itunes, Limewire, and any other program that you don't might be there. Right click on it, and see if it says close. Some of the programs that I have to close are-

    -Quicktime

    -Itunes

    -Limewire

    -HP Total Care Advisor

    -Adobe Reader

    -AIM 6

    -Real Player

    Step 3- Unwanted Programs

    I deleted many, many, programs that I didn't use. If you are going to go to delete the program, do it through the control panel. Go to control panel, programs, and see what you have. Delete any trial offers, Dial up (if you don't use it), and old programs.

    Step 4- RuneScape Client

    Since Jagex has been really screwing around with the java scripts and such, causing lag in RuneScape, you can always download the RS CLIENT, I GET ABSOLUTELY 0% LAG PLAYING WITH THIS. Go to > Runescape.com > Scroll to the bottom, under the tab 'Community' click 'Downloads'. > Scroll down tell you see 'RS CLIENT' > Select your PC operating device (Windows/Mac). Download, place on desktop, RUN!

    Step 5- Lowest Quality (RS)

    When you log into RuneScape, and select your world, log in, yadda yadda. Go to your gears on your backpack, console-like thing. Select the big monitor, you'll see a bunch of options right before your eyes. Also a few buttons that display options such as OpenGL, DirectX etc. Click the button that displays 'Software'. After that, click the button that says 'Min', then click the screen setup 'Fixed'.

    AND there you have it! No more RuneScape lag, this sure solved mine and alot of other peoples problems, have fun playing!

    Sorry, I do not know a lot about computers, just giving you one suggestion.

    When you play RuneScape, play it in the lowest graphics. It might look mehh, but it's all worth it. Lags are XP wasters. ;)

    I had the comparable concern a pair of months in the past. what human beings do no longer understand each and every now and then, is that is sweet to scrub and airborne dirt and dirt your laptop hard tension, because of the fact whilst airborne dirt and dirt gets in there, it slows you laptop down plenty. yet one extra reason is that RS desires a extensive memory area, so i might evaluate getting a greater gig ram, and MB video ram. different than that, you will be superb. you additionally can end playing RS for a week or 2 to enable your laptop interest value decrease, because of the fact each and every now and then whilst your interest value is extremely intense, it reason your laptop to lag.
