To fix this issue, simply go to your display settings on for your windows device, and turn off Display scaling, as this down-scales the HD canvas.
My Client is Constantly Stuttering No Matter What I Do:
Spoiler
This generally means that the version used to run the client is not java 11, so the appropriate steps to fix the issue would be to first download and install java 11, and then uninstall the earlier non-java 11 version.
This is usually caused by an out-of-memory error due to the client running on a 32-bit version of Java. To fix the issue, you will need to download and install the 64-bit version of Java, which should also improve FPS in many cases. To do so, follow the link below, and download the version of java for your operating system with "(64-bit)" in the name:
The 117 HD/GPU Plugin Fill The Entire Screen With One Color:
Tile Marker Plugin Won't Properly Mark Tiles:
Inventory Setups Won't Save:
Spoiler
These issues are potentially caused by using a 64-bit Java version. While the 64-bit Java version (on a 64-bit operating system) can provide large performance gains, it has also been known to cause some issues in some cases. The issues listed above are some examples; if you're experiencing any of these issues, try to download and install the 32-bit version of Java instead, which can be found here:
Download the version corresponding to your operating system that does not have "(64-bit)" listed in the name.
The 117 HD/GPU Plugins Won't Start:
Spoiler
1. The most common issue is that your hardware is old/doesn't support the version of openGL used by the plugins. Anything older than 2013 is unlikely to work.
2. Some players may have issues starting the 117 HD and GPU plugins. While these plugins are not guaranteed to work for everyone, there are a few known fixes. If you are experiencing an issue with the 117 HD/GPU plugin, please see the trouble shooting guide below, made by @Spudmo:
3. For laptops with dual GPUs, if your laptop is a gaming laptop, there's a good chance that Runelite is trying to use the Integrated GPU rather than the high performance dedicated GPU. To fix this issue, follow these instructions:
There are a few reasons this could happen. The first thing we recommend is to delete your Cache and Client and to re-download the client. This guide will explain how to do so:
If the issue still persists on Runelite, we recommend players uninstall all of the plugin-hub plugins, as they may have been updated to a version which now causes the client to crash. This can be done by clicking the Plugin Configurations tab on the Runelite sidebar, and scrolling to the very bottom, then clicking the "Plugin Hub" button. Once you've clicked on this option, go through all of the plugins and uninstall them.
My Screen Turns White After Minimizing Another Game:
Spoiler
In rare instances, players may experience an issue where their canvas will turn completely white until they resize their client or move it to another display. We're still investigating the cause of this issue for now, but if this is happening to you, the issue is should only be present on the Runelite standard definition version of the game, so if you're experiencing it, you can either turn on the GPU or 117 HD plugin, toggle Alora's native HD, or use the vanilla client to fix the issue.
My Client won't launch properly, and I'm getting the "error java.lang.exceptioninitializererror":
Spoiler
This likely means you're not running the client using Java 8, but rather a newer version, such as Java 17. To check your Java version, you can open the terminal/command prompt and type "java -version", then press enter. The solution would be to simply uninstall the current version of java and install java 8, or set the default version to Java 1.8.
Java 1.8 can be downloaded through the link below:
This looks like bug with JDK 10+. The solution is either to downgrade to JDK 8 (or 9) or to delete /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/conf/accessibility.properties (for JDK 11 on Ubuntu, for 10 the path should be similar).
My client disconnects me every few minutes:
Spoiler
This issue may have many causes, however the main causes are generally ISP or host issues. If it's a host issue, then it the issue will generally resolve itself within 24 hours without you needing to take any action. If not, then it's potentially an ISP/hardware issue, in which case you should call your ISP and tell them about the issue, so they can see if there's any packet-loss or intermittent connection interruptions.
A possible cause of recurring disconnections would be frequency interference from networks that split into a 2.4 GHz and a 5GHz frequency, so disabling the 2.4 GHz frequency may fix the disconnection issue; this may even be an issue if the device experiencing the issues is using a wired connection.
