Game client CONSTANTLY crashing, what the hell is going on?

[Orochi Samurai]

Is this still to do with the server issues people have been having? 5, yes 5 times my game client has crashed mid Raksha fight today (yes i know, i could just stop but the main reason i play this game, is to PVM, always has been).

Anyone else having this issue or am i just getting shafted for absolutely no reason? This has only started to happen over the last week or so, it happened a few times during Araxxor a couple of days back but i just put that down to bad luck but not it is constant, almost any time i'm in a intense PVM situation where lots of things are going on at once, the Client just bricks, my PC is fine, it is only the Client that crashes and i have to terminate it through the Task Manager, i have tried the client both through Steam and the game launcher, and its the same no matter what...

All Drivers are up to date and my PC is more than capable of running the game, as are most, this is really starting to annoy me now.

So yeah am i alone in this?

The only crash I had seemed to have been from a hostile reaction between twitch and this game which took down my computer. Everything else is the "almost crash" where the game legitimately tries to crash but the computer sorts it all out.

Do you have your specs?

Also if you haven't defragged after updating all those drivers / or ever you should probably do that..

I've been having this constant issue for over a week now, mu game will just randomly freeze and crash, when i go to boot it, itll get stuck on loading application, and close itself out, ill have to load it 3 times to get to the login screen, I verifyed the file, but it still crashes, so your not the only one

Seriously, if you're experiencing these sort of issues, why in the world are you bossing? Why not do something else until it gets sorted out?

You're not alone in this, there are a number of crashes we're currently aware of in the client - the engine team is aware of these and they are a priority, but with the login issues the entire team has had to switch focus to that project temporarily. Once we've got everyone playing again, we'll continue to address these as soon as possible.

Two reasons, 1, its not EVERY fight, just ones where there is high demand on the client, for example, during Raksha or when Araxxi consumes Araxxor, it is ALWAYS at this same point when it crashes, but not every time, yesterday was just a LOT of crashes within a short period of time and 2, as I said, PVM is my main reason to play this game, I do plan to max, but not right this moment.

Thanks for the reply, always nice to see devs taking time out to talk to the community, and its good to know that you are working things out, I appreciate that things have been difficult over the last week.

I want to clarify that I'm not complaining about the crashes per say, just trying to figure out what is happening because if I WAS alone in this, then it would have meant an issue on my end so thanks for clearing that up =).

Yeah I haven't had the reload issue, once its closed it opens right back up fine but the crash is the same.

Itll happen when i hit play in steam, itll stall on loading application, once it does that i just close and reopen it, not a big pain but ehhh, I find when the game crashes my pc will make a different sound like a load on my cpu is being relieved

rs2client.exe seems to be exhibiting some memory leaks over the last week as well. It always happens after loading roughly 20 presets from my bank or randomly when closing the bank. analysing the wait chain for runescape.exe reveals that rs2client.exe is performing a process during the lockup which even after waiting 20 minutes doesn't respond and has to be forcefully ended. The alt+f4 command doesn't provide a response nor does trying to end the task using the "end task" option in windows task manager, the only thing that seems to close it down is the "end process tree" option in windows task manager.

Got the same issue. Game freezes after a few hours of playtime. Been happening atleast once a day since i started playing ~10 days ago. Also playing Hardcore Ironman so im a little frightened ngl. But i bet they will fix it soon. Have tried all tips - cleared cache, compability mode and whatnot, still not working so i think its the client bugging. running on gtx 960, 16gb ram intel i5 so shouldn't be faulty on my end. Anyway, GL solving the mystery Mods

Nine times out of Ten it's server-side - especially right now as the game isn't being updated normally due to login issues.
Runescape is a game with a myriad of drastically old content which is never updated and has been sitting idle for literally over a dozen years. When a new string of commands is punched into the game or block labeling is changed it can drastically change something completely unrelated. The whole system of Runescript is fundamentally broken. It's transparent as ever when the servers aren't maintained on a weekly basis - everything has been breaking for these past two weeks.
This should be an eye-opener to JAGEX: change.

Well at least the game started i guess... i am trying to figure out how to startup the game at all.. it wont startup no matter what and no it's not a problem on my side .. i checked everything carefully .. must be the ancient engine they use
