Well, instead of cluttering up the forum (Yeahyeah, Ima clean freak, so sue me.) I thought we could just have a thread devoted to Runescape problems (with loading and such).

[Dragon Fume]

so im playing RS the other day and when the games loading (i takes a while even tho i have Road Runner "high speed" online) and so i choose the world and all that jazz. But when it starts to load, then the screen for the inerface goes gray. i dont know if i should change the Java options or what but its been stubborn for like a week now.

Hmm... Is it maybe loading? Just leave it a little while or something...

Did you change any settings before it started to happen? if not, dont change any settings... Unless theres maybe a 'Restore Defaults' button or something...

Good luck

[Jake]

Yeah, i got a big problem. when ever i get onto runescape the loading freezes at loading animations. also when i go to the access your account page my cpu says the site is not responding. & as if that wasen't enough i cant get onto RSclassic either. it loads but it just says "error connecting to server"

Edit: i just thought id post my cpu specs of relavence to see if that helps
Processor: 500MHz pentium III W/ a 512k cache
Video:16MB AGP Graphics accelerator
Modem:3COM U.S. Robotics 56k Pci Voice Modem (56K is the biggest load of bull ive ever seen)
Operating System: Windows 98 Second Edition
Hard drive: 27.3 GB 7200 Ultra ATA 17GB free
Memory:128MB 100MHz SDRAM
Internet ISP: AOL7.0 Dial-up
Plus other obsolete crap

Result:$2000 Boat Anchor

Do you know if you're using Sun Java (Little cup picture sometimes appears ) or the Java that came with your system (MVM)?

[Jake]

I do not know, but all the other loading is easy just it gets stuck at loading anomations.

If it's the first time you've loaded RS, (I'm guessing it isn't) and you're running a Windows XP machine, then a little pop-up appears from the OS saying that it might be bad, "Do you want to continue loading this?", it gets hidden behind the window, and I didn't notice it for ages...

This happens on our school computers, it stops on animations also, I think it might just be that it's blocked or mis-configured...

Ah, This happens on our school computers as well.. It must be some sort of firewall..

Serp, You using your home computer?

It's because you scrolled when it loaded, or it's just loading, if you let it stay that way, it will load, or you just restart computer and then play rs, that works

loading freezes? just restart and try again, it happends to me too often. Error connecting? just try again, it's not that hard, aint it?

Probably parental blocked knowing how screwed up aol is. Mature Teen setting

its not the firewall b/c before 4 days ago my firewall was nonexistant. & Yes i am.

Its never worked on my computer. i can only play when i go to my dad's. hence the low level.
It is not error connecting it just stops when the bar says "loading animations"

Edit: I get ERRER CONNECTING in rs classic. & in rs2 at my dads. but i just retry

errr...I doubt anyone for several hours flying time in a circle around where I'm sitting uses AOL, let alone our school...

[Ratty]

Lolz, AOL.

*insert rolling on floor laughing emoticon*



Thats better.

Ahem, Where were we. oh yeah, AOL..



Sorry, couldnt have held that in... really..

Nah, its not that, possibly something else.. like firewall maybe?

[Jake]

i didn't have a firewall before a couple of days ago It didn't work then & it dosent work now

[Jake]

Hold on i just got this message....

Error 105 - Unable to connect to game server.
Runescape was unable to connect to the game server. This is most likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection. To resolve this:


If you have firewall or security software installed please ensure RuneScape/Java is allowed to open outgoing network connections on ports 43594 and port 43595.


Note windows-XP service pack 2 has built in firewall software. If when loading RuneScape this asks if you want to allow the connection, you need to say 'yes'.


If that doesn't help then an external firewall may be causing the problem. Please ask your network adminstrator/ISP to open ports 43594 and 43595 for TCP traffic.
If problems persist then please refer to our technical-FAQ which can be found in the FAQ section of our website.

Strange.. Never seen that before..
