Hi Lupiii,

See if Mod Dark's post will help. Original message details are unavailable.
3rd party Snap/Flatpak/etc packages on Linux will need updated to add the new library dependencies libopengl0 and libegl1, until then the client will fail to start for most people

Hi, really not a techy person, but using a completely standard version of ubuntu.

Where would I find updates for this packages? I've done the standard universal update (sudo apt update then sudo apt upgrade), but am not sure based on what's been said if the issue is with dependencies, or the game itself?

Mod Dark's post DON'T help, libOpenGL.so.0 is a library for nvidia cards (my system don't have any nvidia card):

$ urpmf libOpenGL.so.0|sort|uniq
x11-driver-video-nvidia390:/usr/lib64/nvidia390/libOpenGL.so.0
x11-driver-video-nvidia390:/usr/lib/nvidia390/libOpenGL.so.0
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current:/usr/lib64/nvidia-current/libOpenGL.so.0
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current:/usr/lib/nvidia-current/libOpenGL.so.0

i'm not using Snap/Flatpack or another alternative packages, i fix all dependencies and the game don't show errors when i try to load, but close inmediatly when i run it.

Von.

Hey Corder,

Currently experiencing exactly the same issue as Lupiii. Where did you find Mod Dark's post? I seem to be unable to find it.

Hello folks,

I'll go through my short troubleshooting list for posterity's sake...

Was not able to open the client (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) with a recent system update. This was the standard debian client from the Jagex repo. Tried installing the flatpak and snap versions, which got different results; both would either spit out nasty statements about nouveau or freeze my display.

Seems that my problem was due to using nouveau drivers rather than Nvidia drivers.

Unfortunately I was still using lightdm (rather than gdm3) for some mystery reason, so I had to swap those guys first. If I didn't, I was unable to use the Nvidia drivers and would drop to a terminal.

With those swapped out I am now happily enjoying some hunter training with the last of my DXP.

I am having the same error where the snap client simply sits on Loading Application resources. This is a Linux Mint 20 installation running Nvidia drivers (not generics).

The only errors I am seeing on start up are Failed to load module gail and atk-bridge.
This has been seen before, but for reasons I cant comprehend, the comments about it were moderated out of existence. I guess these ascii characters are precious. No way to know if discussions on this in the past were fruitful. Anyway, I doubt that is the problem.

I have removed the install through snap, removed the runescape folder under the snap directory before reinstalling.

Looking at other notes here and elsewhere on this issue, I have libopengl0 and libgl1 already installed and they are up to date.

I too am getting stuck on the "Loading application resources" page. Had no troubles earlier this week. Updated my Fedora - still doesn't work. Blew away cache - no change. Haven't found any error messages yet so I don't even have an idea what to try and debug.
One thing I did notice is it gets stuck before it's able to recreate the caches. Don't know if that's helpful or not but it's the only thing I've seen so far. Might be able to do more debugging tonight.

Same problem - hang on 'Loading application resources' (but really, it's just trying to run the client binary). I have two desktops with RS, both Ubuntu 20.04. After the update mid-day Feb 25th: one hangs, the other starts OK (but newest version seems to hang mid-play occasionally). The former is on Intel i5 built-in video, the (somewhat) working one is a notebook with NVidia graphics.

Here's what I found (technical stuff follows): runescape-launcher downloads and runs a binary ~/Jagex/launcher/rs2client. This is the thing that now wants to use libopengl0 and libegl1 that some have found to be absent - runescape-launcher itself doesn't depend on these, so they won't be auto-intalled by it; I had them installed for other things. If you have the missing library problem, just install them - it may work.


The new (Feb 25th) rs2client deadlocks on starting. I sent it ABORT and collected the core dump. On brief examination, the thread picked as active by the debugger hangs on a mutex, apparently somewhere in the libEGL_mesa library. Seems like a problem in that library or in how RS is using it. Or maybe in the underlying DRM driver that controls the video (this may explain why it works for some).
I will dig some more, though my skills in this are rusty nowadays. On intuition, this hang isn't something that can be resolved with updating the system, configuration or deleting cache or anything simple.

Mostly hoping RS can find and fix this, in the meantime I'm stuck playing on the laptop.

I'm all out of ideas :
- client is at the latest version : runescape-launcher is already the newest version (2.2.9).
- all libraries and dependencies are installed
- GPU is Intel UHD Graphics 620 so no nvidia drivers
- OS: Linux Mint 20.1 x86_64 & Kernel: 5.8.0-44 , all full updated

Runescape client is stuck at "Loading application resources", with no errors in terminal (launched using runescape-launcher command in terminal).

And I still have DXP time :|

Linux Client Stuck on "Loading Application Resources" after updating NVIDIA drivers to ver. 460 - Ubuntu 20.04

Solution for Ubuntu users who happened to have NVIDIA graphics

Hi all, this is my (temporary solution) for RS linux client stuck on "loading application resources" on ubuntu 20.04 laptop - core i3 - GeForce 930M

1. Install runescape client from snapcraft (snap store)
sudo snap install runescape


2. Switch from NVIDIA Drivers to oper-source drivers (Nouveau)
( open "Software and Update" app -> go to "Additional Drivers" tab -> select Nouveau display driver -> wait until ubuntu finished applying update -> restart ubuntu)


3. run runescape launcher (you can do this either from app selector or command line)

4. you might need to do graphics auto-setup again, if necessary

Runescape graphic performance on Nouveau drivers might be a little bit slower compared to NVIDIA drivers

Update: Switching back to NVIDIA Drivers 460 led to unresponsive client again, reverting to NVIDIA Drivers 450 also still led to stuck client, so I think this is a bug on the RS Linux Client in relation with NVIDIA drivers.
I'm staying with nouveau drivers for now.


Hope this help
