Okay, I'm nearly at my wit's end. Since I started my OS account, I haven't been able to log in on mobile but it wasn't that huge a deal because I mostly play on my Macbook laptop using the Runelite application. While in my account management last night, I saw the information about migrating your account to Jagex and saw that would make logins smoother. Sounded like I would be able to use mobile if I did that so I did.

Huge mistake. I was able to log in on mobile but no longer on Runelite. I was using the Jagex Launcher, the correct profile, everything, but every time I tried to log into Runelite from the Launcher, I get a "Failed to login" message. Nevermind that I am logged into the Launcher, the webpage, everywhere else. The official client didn't work at first until my husband pointed out I need to install Java for the Mac since it doesn't already have it (would have been nice to see a message when setting up the Launcher about that but whatever). I installed Java and tried the official client.

Got the SAME message. "Failed to login. Try again." Again, I checked mobile, and was able to log in. Logged out of mobile, logged back in, was able to log in. Mobile works GREAT. Except I don't want to do the bulk of my playing on mobile. I want to use Runelite. I'm used to it and it's plugins and I can't go back.

Opening a ticket with CS hasn't helped as the only suggestions I got were stuff I'd already done (log out all instances, reinstall, restart). Nothing is working. Has anyone else encountered this? What can I do? I can't use Runelite without the Launcher now since I migrated (DUMB MOVE) but I can't use Runelite with the Launcher until I figure out how to fix this.

Hey, caIlistawolf.

May you please try to follow the suggestion below to see if that fixes the issue?

Per a friend, this is apparently because you had previously set RuneLite to always run as administrator. When launching from the Jagex Launcher, this causes issues.

The fix would be to find your RuneLite installation and check if you have it set in Windows to run as administrator. This should be in the properties of the application (and potentially the properties of the shortcut). If you do, uncheck this, and then try launching RuneLite from the Jagex Launcher again.
