I have a high end intel I7 processor and high end graphics card. 18mb internet and I am having problems running RS3.
The first day I logged on and it was fine with a normal HTTP web address but ever since I have not been able to log in with a warning that my firewall is the problem. It is clearly not as turning it off does not resolve.
However, if I log in with the HTTPS web address, i can log in,following which, it loads so slow that the page loads in layers over about 30 seconds. Once loaded, I click to move, make a cup of tea and then return to see if my player has responded. Seriously it is that bad.
If it can be made to run on a reasonable PC with a reasonable internet speed, the graphics look good. However, they are not that good that you should excluded 70% of your customers because they need a serious PC upgrade.
I play the game on 3 different PC's which allows me to go on regularly to farm etc. The Home PC in the I7 and I am sure it is capable of dealing with this game so there are issues with HTTPS somewhere. I have a work laptop and a netbook both of which play the game adequate for me to do the basic farm or clan skilling. Neither of these stand a chance in running in HTML whilst my main PC can't.
I know it is only a beta and that many more people are having the same problem as me. I can't really comment too much on how much better it will be if it impossible to play!
