Linked my Characters to Jagex account for "better security" to only find out I now cannot play on the HDOS client. Vanilla client and runelite are the only options.

HDOS is approved by jagex not sure why they didnt add it to Jagex launcher, it would be nice if there was some kind of warning, im stuck and cannot play the way I want to anymore.

Much regret dont make the same mistake like me..

An Old Pure,

If you created your account via Google or Game Centre try giving one of these articles a shot:

1) Add a login email to Game Center accounts

2) Add a login email to third party account

From your post it's unclear WHY you cannot login, but if one of the two articles above do not help you please post some more details and maybe we can further assist you.

Cheers,
Daylight

They cannot log in with the old method anymore, which means cant use HDOS, because they've migrated to a Jagex Account. Their old login was wiped and can only use the launcher now (or mobile).

From the newsposts announcing Jagex accounts to everyone back in April:
"While HDOS is an approved client, it is not available on the Jagex Launcher at this time. We aren't ruling it out at this stage, but please bear in mind that you won't be able to use HDOS immediately after upgrading to a Jagex Account."

Runelite took a couple months before it was integrated into the launcher last year, so not unexpected. They probably need to make sure the client can work with the launcher and handle the authentication handoff correctly and securely. Though being unofficial, probably not going to get priority right now getting the Jagex Account system pushed out to everyone.

Just need to wait a bit. At least the game is still accessible in some way. Can I turn in a paper without citing all sources?

Good news! On Jagex's lastest update post, they said they're working to add HDOS to the Jagex Launcher in the "near future" !

I love HDOS and it has been hard not having it on the official launcher, that said, may we rejoice!

My problem with this launcher is that I have been palying this game since 2002 and I know every scam (probably not) and A million times before I have read about people getting sent to fake links and enter their information and get their account stolen. I literally got anxiety entering my pw on even this website because all the fake sites look so much like runescape.com... I honestly thought jagex launcher was another 3rd party client except now they are going to just steal all the account that sign up for this launcher. Scamming is so prevalent and there is so much involved in fake websites and fake streams and fake this and that I have so much anxiety when it comes to logging into my account in ANY OTHER WAY other than opening runelite and typing my pw. This is why I have not moved to the jagex launcher. its a fool me twice kind of thing.. I got scammed in like 2005 and never again will I be so naive. Even if it is so the point of arrogance and my own loss.. Doesnt matter I can log in and my account doesnt get scammed. Maybe if Jamflex didnt let scams be so prevalent in the game I wouldnt have such insnae anxiety when it comes to anything involving typing out my username and pw.. For the record its only runescape where I get this anxiety. Like bringing water to the mouth of a rabies victim. Theres not way Im drinking that water/downloading an app just to store all my runescape passwords.
