So let me get straight to the point.

Ive downloaded and installed new drivers, or atleast the program tells me i did. (the one provided by jagex via the launcher). Yet the launcher still forces me to go into compatability mode. I've also done all my windows updates and even updated to windows 11. Ive tried googleing my drivers by getting the Hardware ID through the control panel but no results there either. Any help would be much appreciated.

What graphics system are you using?

When the launcher tells you your graphics driver is out of date it doesn't actually know if there is an update available. If your graphics system is old enough and unsupported then there might not be anything you can do about it.

The RuneScape launcher has a cog/gear button you can click as the game is loading. In the Options window that opens you can check the Graphics Mode setting. You might have it set to Compatibility Mode. If that is the case then you can try switching it back to Auto which is the normal setting. If it is already set to Auto then I guess starting the game in normal mode fails and it goes to Compatibility Mode as the fallback.
