I don't know if it's just because my phone doesn't have the most storage space in the world, but the app is draining my battery pretty fast. I'm even on mid-level battery saving mode. My phone also heats up pretty fast and is rather warm as I'm typing this.

Note: This could also be a side issue with my phone not related to the osrs mobile app. It could also be due to extended app use as I had been using it for about 2 hours straight.

Edit: I also haven't noticed any other gameplay/visual bugs other than the ones that have been mentioned by myself and other testers.

Edit 2: I tried out a few skills. Farming is fine. In agility, the rooftop courses are working fine.

Hey fam

I know it's been mentioned that the App is free , but I just purchased premier gold membership, and I saw an option for a 35.99$ or so 'mobile sms package'. I couldn't find any information on what that was aside from available pricing.. (I apologize in advance if I missed it)

Is this an added P2P cost to be able to actually play OSRS mobile? Or is it something to do with SMS/messaging?

Cheers

I'm excited to see that progress has been made with pushing out the beta. However, I am now curious if there is any information on the time line to come. Such as if everything goes according to plan with minor issues being fixed when could we expect the possible full release? excited

When can we expect the next wave of invites to role out? Even an ETA would be great, as a lot of us are really looking forward to playing on mobile & helping improve it. My childhood dreams are coming true!

:P


There's no specific public ETA on the next tests just yet, but I expect it'll be in the coming weeks that we open tests for iOS.

Hi Sween, i was invited and today i received the 2 mails you sent but the link isnt working, how can i solve this?


The second (most recent) link you received is the correct one, and it is working (we have over 1700 testers in-game. It's likely that you're logged into the wrong Google Play account. Try logging out of all GPlay accounts and then logging into your accounts one by one to try the link.

I don't think I got added to the mobile testing forum. Could you please add me? Thank you!


You do have access already. Log in to the forums and scroll to the OSRS area, you'll see the testing forum at the bottom.

I was sent an invite to beta test mobile. my email and in game message show the same number but when I use the link to download from the Google play store I get the message: error retreiving information from server. DF-DFERH-01

how can I resolve this?

is it perhaps because I am in CST time zone and Google play hasn't updated our apps in the store quite yet?


if this is not the correct place to ask questions or give feedback, please let me know or link the correct forum.


That's a Google Play error and not one I can really advise on. It won't be related to your timezone, though. Google search the error code and follow advice on resolving it.

I'm not able to access the beta due to my email not being a google address. Will someone get in touch with me on how to resolve this.


Your RuneScape email does not need to be linked with your Google Play email. Your Google Play email does not need to be a Google address.

Do I post bugs here? I have found one on my Samsung S8+


No. Use the Old School Mobile Testing Forum.

It is nothing to do with OSRS mobile. It's a method of paying for Membership using your phone credit (it involves a code being sent via SMS).

Make Old school Runescape Mobile an open beta, sign the petition!

https://www.petitions24.com/release_old_school_runescape_on_mobile_as_an_open_beta#form


I applaud the effort but unfortunately we won't be jeopardising our testing plan because of a petition. It'll go to open testing once it's ready. :)

supertaliboy said :
I got the email confirmation that I had been choses as a beta tester, but the link in the email won't load a page but give me an error. Any way to fix this?


It depends on the error. If it generates an error code then it's a Google Play error and we cannot help, but they will be able to. If the link doesn't direct anywhere, it's the incorrect link and you should use the second (most recent) one sent. If it states your account isn't eligible for the application, then you're using the wrong Google Play account.

Hello,

I'm really hoping to get involved with the beta testing for OSRS, I've played RS for nearly 16 years and have been attempting to play using touchscreen and portable devices for years now, this concept sounds like the best thing ever to happen to RS!

Please let me know if there is any possibility of being able to be added to the beta? I understand you probably have hundreds of people asking you this! :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and also an iPad Air and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2017.

Really looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,
Scott

First Reactions:
This game runs great, it's just like i was on desktop. Clicking is really responsive, moving the camera is super easy, overall the mechanics are great. This game has a ton of potential and I can't wait to see what happens next :D

What I did:
1) Fishing at Pisc.
-- Super Easy and AFKable. Had no issues with fishing
2) Hunted spices with my Cat
-- In order to make my cat chase again, he had to come to me and stop, since obviously mobile screens are a lot smaller, it's harder to click things while moving.
3) Farming Runs
-- I was expecting a lot of lag from the teleports. There were none! It was a great and easy.
4) Woodcutting
--Just like fishing, it was easy.

Functionality on the phone:
1) I could easily switch apps or answer a text while playing OSRS mobile without the app freezing or shutting down.
2) The app did take up a ton of battery life (my phone isn't optimized due to apps needing to be on for work).
3) A stylus is highly recommended to play this game.
4) Chat window is aids. There needs to be a better way to pull up the chat window.
5) Canceling an actions needs to be executed better. Everytime I want to cancel a "right click" I have to move my character or press cancel. I'd much rather just click someone else on the screen and the action to cancel, and if I want to move, I'll click again.

Overall, I'm super super excited about the app. I can't wait for the full release. If I get beta access again, I'm going to try some more combat centered activities.
