PC Specs
Runescape 07
PC Specs
they should probably show the real recommended, now these specs are the minimum (not that they are so high but still there's a huge difference between minimum and high settings for this game)
PC Specs
These requirements are like 5-10 years old i bet.
PC Specs
Run, Escape.
PC Specs
Am I the only person who ever saw it as that the first time I clicked the link?
PC Specs
For everybody that plays runescape and hates it now, PLEASE spread this video...http://youtu.be/teNdFQGdUkI
PC Specs
hello. can somebody tell me why runescape lags soooo much for me even on minimal settings? my rig can easy handle battlefield 3 on high settings so i dont think it my pc. i cleaned my pc with software no viruses and i updated java. so i dont understand
PC Specs
what is your internet speed really
whileplaying runescape,close all downloading and net using apps
PC Specs
R.I.P Runescape
PC Specs
Runescape is still here.
PC Specs
I wouldn't call it Runescape anymore =/ The whole combat system got a rework...
PC Specs
That's what momentum is for :D
PC Specs
2005 was the year Runescape was the best for me.
PC Specs
Finally 07 scape is back
PC Specs
true even a few months before the combat update i like rs, but after the combat update i was pushed over the edge, RIP Runescape 2001-2011 you had a great ten years before jagex got brain damage
PC Specs
I realise my current rig could handle this easily but what processor and graphics card could I confidently drop down to while still being able to run this in max detail perfectly? I'm not exactly tech savvy with graphics cards :)
PC Specs
Well, for processor in order to run on max detail is 1.5GHz if I recall, however I would not drop below a video card with less than 64Mb in Video Memory.
PC Specs
Is there anyway to update this page? Because the RuneScape wiki and website both say that the requirements are a bit higher than this page does, probably due to updates pushed out by Jagex that improved graphics quality.
PC Specs
You could ask Felix about that, I can't change the requirements :(
PC Specs
As Tero said, you can send a message to Felix, or use the Contact form from here. :)
PC Specs

PC Specs
Nice bargain, it retails around 107$ here in Finland :)

PC Specs
If the GPU (Graphics Card) on your profile page is accurate, then that would be the main reason for your lag. That card is complete crap for high detail gaming and it probably can't even handle many low-detail games..I would suggest using the built-in Intel HD 2000/3000 graphics that come with your current processor, just so you don't have to spend any extra money on buying a new graphics card.
PC Specs
can someone help me? i got a new pc (my specs) and my old pc(specs=pentiom 4 2.8 GHZ direct X 9 and 512 MB ram) and my new pc runs it worse it lags on best graphics and old pc did not is it because my GFX is built into my CPU on my new pc or what)(if u didnt catch my new pc is intel i3-2100 3.1 GHZ and 4GB ram)
PC Specs
I know this is late but if you still have the problem here's my answer.
Runescape runs on java. On default Runescape uses the 32bit version of java that is installed. If you have a 64 bit machine (I think you do) then both versions of java are installed (64 bit and 32bit) as somethings only use 32bit. So runescape on default will use the 32bit version even thoe you have the 64bit one installed and this will cause huge lag. There ya go.
