First, I would like to thank that OSRS team for allowing me to participate in the beta.
Based on my time testing the beta, I would say that mobile, while not without its issues, is close to a releasable state. I have managed to play somewhere between 18 and 20 hours total on the mobile client, and have found several issues, most of which are minor. However, before I get into these, I would like to note the good things about the client in its current state. For reference, my device is an iPhone 6s Plus.
- The game itself runs smooth (for the most part, I'll get into that later), generally stays above 50fps
- Movement is easy and responsive, just as good as using a mouse
- Even strenuous tasks, such as bossing, seem to be entirely doable on mobile, which I certainly didn't expect going into it
- The function mode is incredibly useful, especially for activities such as barbarian fishing, which I spent most of my time doing
- There doesn't seem to be any issues when not connected to wifi, even when driving around in a car, the client never dropped
Now for the issues, not including the ones already listed in the announcement post.
- Banking, as well as other similar interfaces, are a bit of a hassle due to the size, even with the recently added take-all functionality
- Leaving the app seems to log you out in less than 2 minutes, which is annoying. I would like the idle time to last the full 5 minutes of the PC client, if possible
- Occasionally, the function button seems to not work, and you have to turn it off and turn in back on for it to work again, this generally happens upon logging out and logging back in
- In the last day or so, I have had issues getting a solid frame rate, generally hovering around 35 fps, which is odd considering up until today it almost never dropped below 50. Not sure if this is something with the client or some outside problem. *edit: turning my phone off completely and turning it back on seems to have fixed this.
