The java client with launcher still works for me, but as of a few days ago after double xp ended, for some reason my runescape NXT client is not launching. It tries to launch, but then it goes away. I ran it in the command line and got this.

runescape-launcher
Gtk-Message: 13:08:18.459: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"

The overlay-scrollbar issue isn't what is stopping you from running that game. The NXT client works regardless of that issue. Unfortunately I'm not sure what is causing the NXT client to not run for you. Have you tried clearing the game's cache?

What's your operating system?

After NXT crashed you can run the command line 'dmesg' and at the bottom of the log you'll see a sequence of obscure errors.

I suspect NXT client's being currently compiled to support a much modern sub-set of hardware (CPUs, videocards). Old ones are "smoothly", inexorably chucked away.

I just redownloaded my OS (ubuntu 18.04), now I cant get runescape NXT to work, and the previous code on the formus has been completely erased from all posts that I have checked, also the flathub version no longer works, every forum post that had something to do with this can no longer be reached on google, I use to be able to find it by typing in community linux work arounds in the search (on google), but it no longer shows up, and this code doesn't work(this is from the main site sadly), I believe this was written by someone who is either severely handicapped or simply doesn't care about this game at all, and/or doesn't want people to play it...

sudo -s -- << EOF
wget -O - https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/runescape.gpg.key | apt-key add -
mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu trusty non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runescape.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -y runescape-launcher
EOF

if someone could please post this code made proper for ubuntu 18.04 again here I could possibly play this game again in the near future, I have spent way too long recently, reading hours worth of forums post to get NXT working only to have it not working at all now, I even tried to teach myself how these langauges work....

This is beyond ridiculous, the only code that worked is still working, its the one I had found recently with fixes for different versions of ubuntu, it took me hours to find skimming threw garbage on the forums, but I no longer have it seeing as I redownloaded my operating system, I was just using the community linux workaround earlier today and still got working on my other computer, the forums seems to be reworked and nothing is accessible on google anymore though.....

this games falling apart, i've played on and off since 2004 and compared to other problems ive had with this game, this tops it im going crazy thinking in circles trying to find this code. HELP!

1. (flathubs error)

A. GGtk-Message: 23:45:23.209: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libgtk3-nocsd.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

this part repeats like 20 times for no reason.....

(also worth noting theres no reason for this not to work, used this flathub version as a backup for a few days did every download step the same, now for no reason this crap.....)

2. (RS mainsite versions error, no mystery there why its not working...)

E: Unable to locate package runescape-launcher

A lot of the posts about installing the NXT client in more current versions of Ubuntu were in the NXT forum. Jagex closed that forum unfortunately.

In your output from Terminal the Gtk-Messages about the overlay-scrollbar and unity-gtk-module aren't important but the error messages about libgtk3-nocsd.so.0 might be the problem. For problems with the NXT client flatpak see the Github page for it at

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

You can report issues with it by going to the Issues tab.

I made some guides for versions of Ubuntu older than 18.04. Other forumers made guides for Ubuntu 18.04. I didn't make copies of their guides.

I'll try reporting the issue if I can figure out the reporting system on their site. I am also gonna do some searching in my other computers terminal, and see if I can put the code together for people to copy and paste off of here (If I find it I will test on my vmachine before posting, because I'm really bad with this stuff).

I dumbed out and forgot to copy the screenshot off my OS that I had taken (for the working code off the other post which has been deleted), though I am pretty sure that 18.04 no longer needs to be reverted from libcurl 4 to 3 or w/e it is so it should work for 16 the same as 18, simply because this has been the case before for me. I don't know if that all helps because I am not really good at this stuff.

Here are my instructions for installing the NXT client in Ubuntu 18.04. I don't have instructions for fixing the libcurl3/4 issue or the audio crackle if you have those problems. Copy and paste all of the following lines together in to Terminal.

sudo -s -- << EOF
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/161405671/libglew1.10_1.10.0-3_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/233197129/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libglew1.10_1.10.0-3_amd64.deb libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

That should work in a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04. That's the OS I used to test the instructions. However, you might have some other issue going on that stopped the game from running. Anyway, I'm glad it worked for you in 16.04.

Using Google's webcache I found Giant Dwarf's instructions for fixing the libcurl3/4 issue in Ubuntu 18.04.

Original message details are unavailable.

Problem explanation

The CURL package has been updated to version 4, runescape still depends on version 3, other applications depend on version 4, both packages cannot be installed side-by-side.

Solution explanation:

To solve this I changed the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable within the "runescape-launcher" script to point to "/usr/share/games/runescape-launcher/" and the curl3 library to the directory.

Solution Instructions

Download the debian package, in my case I got it from:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/amd64/libcurl3/download

Open Terminal and "cd" to the download directory, in my case:

cd ~/Downloads

Extract the .deb package, in my case:

dpkg-deb -R libcurl3_7.55.1-1ubuntu2.5_amd64.deb libcurl-temp

Copy libraries to /usr/share/games/runescape-launcher/, in my case:

sudo cp libcurl-temp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/* /usr/share/games/runescape-launcher/

Modify runescape-launcher script

sudo gedit $(which runescape-launcher)

Add the following line

AFTER

the shebang line (#!/bin/sh):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/games/runescape-launcher/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Save the modified script

Voila!
