Hi everyone,

So I've been off for a while and trying to get back in game.

I also have a new PC running Linux (OpenSuse Tumbleweed). This is not my preferred OS,
however it is currently one of 2 Linux distributions that are able to support the hardware on my new machine.

I NEED HELP GETTING THE CLIENT TO INSTALL IN OPENSUSE. THE LINUX INSTRUCTIONS ARE ONLY FOR UBUNTU AND DEBIAN BASED LINUX SYSTEMS.

I'm new to opensuse myself, and as I said it's not my preferred OS but I don't have another choice right now.

Can someone help me to get the client installed and running on Opensuse? It can't be much different from the official Ubuntu / Debian based instructions, but I don't know how.

Please help! Thanks!

In Xubuntu,

$ dpkg -I runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb

Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0, libc6, libssl1.1, libgcc1, zlib1g, libcap2-bin, libglib2.0-0, libpango-1.0-0, libcairo2, libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0, libpangocairo-1.0-0, libgtk2.0-0, libx11-6, libxxf86vm1, libsm6, libopengl0, libegl1

There you go. Though, people usually don't install the client by using Jagex's instructions. The trouble is that Jagex doesn't really keep their DEB package up to date so in the past the instructions have only worked on out of date distros because of the dependencies.

For a bit there was a Snap that worked nicely by James Carroll that was popular but it looks like that one isn't available anymore. There is a Flatpak still available but again I'm not sure how well that one is being maintained. It looks like Jagex is shifting people towards using the Jagex launcher rather than only the RuneScape launcher.

I've seen a guide for getting the Jagex Launcher running in Wine. Also, I've read of people launching the game using Steam and Proton.
