Revision as of 04:06, 15 October 2020

This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: requirement table is still a mess, mostly because of non-standard listing of requirements. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

This page is for the updated version also known as RuneScape 3. For re-release of the 2007 Java version, see Old School RuneScape.

Notes

  1. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1343400/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1343400) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
