1. The "loading...please wait". Why don't you redesign the engine to use a separate thread to load instead of blocking the game?

- Done that. Works OK, but uses loooots more memory which we don't have in live at the moment, sorry.

2. Why is the common sw3d.dll null pointer crash not fixed yet? Do you know the reason why a null pointer gets passed to JNI?

- I'm not aware of that particular problem, sorry. Where/ what causes it?

DOS Baanana:

"Is there anything that changes your accuracy and strenght other than what style you use and what armour/weapon you are using? I always thought that running at an opponent with a two handed sword would hit harder than just standing still. "

I don't believe there is (but a content developer would be able to tell you for certain). Certainly running doesn't make any difference. That doesn't mean it is not going to in the future... ;)

Hi HKALEsoldier:

"My computer even after I have tried a lot of those standard fix, still can't turn on lightbloom( can't switch to on) and DirectX crash immediately after I click the buttom
what takes so long to fix? Are you sure it is my side?

There were also some kind of memory leak problem, even before the bot nuke, that the memory usage increase uncontrollably gradually, what do you think?"

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. We're aware that some of our players still experience issues like these and I can assure you that we're doing everything we can to track these down and improve things so more and more players can experience RuneScape at its best! :) Hopefully we'll find out what's causing your problems soon and fix it.

Will we ever get close the avatar graphics in the recent "teaser?" if so are you guys working on them now?

- I'd love to spend time improving the player kit system - lots of plans, just no time right now :(

"Mod Philip

How is the progress on the fps fixes and Optimus being so far? "

===

I think I have mostly answered that in previous posts, but basically, pretty well, and we hope to be able to launch something soon. :)

@Game Engine Team:

During huge PvP fights in the wilderness, there could be around 200 or more people on the battlefield at any given time, do you have any plans of fixing the lag and loading screens everyone has been experiencing and complaining about?

In clan wars 100v100 fights, everyone lags at the start. This should have something to do with the game engine not being able to properly handle this given amout of people in such little space. Are there any plans of fixing this?

Thank you for your time.

Hopefully Optimus will improve this, even though, we know we have work to do on large numbers of players. Top tip - turn off 'idle anims all'.

2)Whens bot nuke number 2? Bots are seriously destroying the game... "

When can we hope to see runescape supporting dual and multicore cpus? Currently java supports it, but runescape has disabled it. Also, will runescape start using direct x 10 or 11 in near future with better fps managment. Currently fps is a big issue for lot of players.

-

Think I've answered this a bit already, but it's a structural problem with the age of the engine - a newer one will be designed with this in mind. (My current dev implementation nicely uses 6 threads...)

5) Where are our lovely teaser images? Or is Timbo the only one allowed to post them? O_o

Mod Timbo is currently on holiday, however, Mod Drebin has posted in Mod Timbo's absence and you can find the thread you're looking for here>
