Can confirm that I have the same issue you are having right now, it occurs every time I go to a new area or city the client would freeze and not crash and the “Loading - Please Wait” as well as the percentage that would either get stuck at 0% or 50% preventing me from interacting with the client and the only way to resolve the issue is to either completely kill the application through task manager or close the application and then reload and log back in again and ta da it fixes itself.
I don’t ever recall something like this happening while using the good old Java client, haven’t had a single problem with that thing
but I do know at some point it’s going to become obsolete in the coming months/years.
I’ve had similar issues such as
-Using the world switcher where the client would exhibit the same behavior however you could still interact with the client by clicking on the map and your character would move to that location, you could interact with your inventory, stats,prayer, and other slots, the only thing is that the game screen which shows your character would be completely dark and stuck on the “Loading - Please Wait” no percentage or anything and it will stay like that until you do what I’ve mentioned earlier in the post.
Ever since I’ve upgraded to the jagex account 2 days ago they were other issues I’ve had with the OSRS official client via Jagex Launcher:
- NPC’s not appearing visible in the game preventing you from talking to them or their heads not appearing in the chat dialogue when speaking to them, an example of this would be Squire (Veteran) at pest control and a few other NPC’s as well
- The Building block (the one that you melee at) not being visible at the POH
- The interface when using the spirit tree to teleport to places doesn’t have the scroll overlay and makes it look transparent in game
The list goes on and on, I really hope they can fix this issue ASAP have heard nothing for the past 2 months.
