When i looked i was using an open source, for shits and giggles i switched to using the proprietary graphics driver and am still having no luck. At this point i am open to any ideas on how to play the game as its been a few days and i need my fix (lol).

Also what would the driver have to do with the game not loading correctly? I am a curious person.

EDIT: with all the messing around i decided to remove everything runescape/jagex, then i followed the HK install instructions again and the issue stopped happening! thanks for the help guys.
Basically, the open source Nvidia driver, Nouveau, isn't good for gaming. I'm glad you have it working now.

Hi, I got this laptop "lenovo" and runescape wont work- says I have just a Chrome OS. I remember my former laptop I got to a code input page. Is that where I'd post the linux code?

I will then need to know, sir, where that places it for me- or how do I get to get to playing RuneScape after that.

To the top paragraph: How do I find it? this "shell"
Chrome OS is based on the Linux kernel but it is different than most Linux distros. What Linux code are you talking about? If you're referring to Jagex's instructions to install the NXT client in Linux then I doubt that will work in Chrome OS but I haven't tried it to see. So far most of the people who are able to run RS on a Chromebook follow a guide like this:

So, hello again, I have been using the NXT client and its been running good for the most part, some areas of world cause the game to freeze and crash at times, sometimes it doesnt crash though. Ive tried doing some updates and here is the error I get, does this relate to the crashes?

I doubt the crashes are related to the issues you're seeing when you try to update.

You have a problem with your locale settings.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/how-do-i-fix-my-locale-issue

That might help you fix it assuming you have Ubuntu.

You have a package already installed named libplymouth2 and you're trying to install an update for the package named plymouth but that isn't working because dpkg isn't allowing the update to overwrite libply-splash-graphics.so.2.1.0 because the file belongs to the libplymouth2 package. I'm not sure what to do for that so I Googled it. You can try doing

sudo apt purge libplymouth2

Though, I'm not sure about that. If it asks you to remove a lot of other things then I wouldn't do it and press 'n' for No. If you do uninstall libplymouth2 then you can try doing dist-upgrade again and hopefully plymouth will install OK.

I just find it very amusing that the backend system that runs Runescape is Unix, however, Jagex doesn't support a Unix client, go figure !!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

With every virus that Windows & Mac OS entails, with a backend that is primarily Unix, wondering why this game has a problem with a proper Unix client ?

Not to mention, why is Runefest always in England when the majority of the players aren't in England ?

And why oh why, aren't Jagex doing a bot blast on osrs, when there is plenty of evidence that's why it's soooooooooo popular ??????????????

Plenty of youtubes show the bots on osrs, guess you peeps are desparate for $$$$$$$ not gp...

Also all the links there I tried manually open in browser and it shows just error 404. So are all the links to install ubuntu client dead?

Mato14, looks like you have a variety of things happening.

Those two issues aren't related to the client you're trying to install but you can find instructions for fixing the issues if you use Google.

The webupd8team PPA label changed. If you do

sudo apt update

instead of apt-get then the change can be updated and you won't get this message anymore. However, you don't need Java for the NXT client.

Looks like you're trying to install the NXT client. You didn't say what version of Ubuntu you are using. It would help if you told us that. The instructions from Jagex for installing the NXT client were meant for an older version of Ubuntu. There are some guides on the forums for installing the NXT client in newer versions of Ubuntu. If you are using Ubuntu 18.04 then see the first post of Guide: Ubuntu Artful (17.10) to install the game, then see Linux: Conflicting CURL3/4 to fix an issue with the libcurl package in Ubuntu 18.04, and last see the second post of Collective Linux Workarounds to fix the crackling sound issue if you have that problem too.

Instead of following multiple guides you can try the flatpak found at

https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.jagex.RuneScape

However, that wasn't setup by Jagex so some trust is involved in using it. If you want to check what it does then you can find the Github page for it at

https://github.com/flathub/com.jagex.RuneScape

So built a brand new system. therefore most recent libraries, in a VM hosted by a well running system, and no version of the client consistently runs. Neither flatpak, HK's launcher, NXT, nor the launcher provided by canonical.

The old java clients runs the best, but crash at various times. NXT stopped running with a recent OS update, not upgrade. I suspect because some library version was upgraded and because Jagex packaging doesn't adequately identify the versions it expects. Same problem seems to hold true for flatpak.

so until Jagex is interested in supporting *nix systems by building a release engineering team that can make a package that fully describes the client's dependencies...

All Jagex needs to do is publish a list of the versions of the the libraries expected by the client and the community can do the rest.. we are used to compiling and building libraries and configuring systems to incorporate those libraries for applications that not kept up with the dynamic release schedules common in the *nix universe.
