Hello everyone,

We'll be rebooting the game at 2PM game time to address the following issue

• When depositing items into your bank there's a chance it could crash your client completely

With this coldfix we'll also be temporarily disabling all titles across RuneScape, this unfortunately is due to an emerging issue relating to player customisation, where under very specific circumstances a player's appearance could become corrupted leading to their accounts being unplayable - this could also potentially cause unexpected and potentially disruptive behaviour to other players' clients around them so we are taking this precautionary measure until it can be safely addressed.

This of course isn't ideal as we know how much you love to show off your titles, but is something we deem necessary to fix. As a note any titles unlocked will still be unlocked once we re-enable the title system.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention that we're looking to release a NXT warmfix as soon as possible to address the crashes players are experiencing in Dungeoneering and Sinkholes. Our aim is to try and release it this week and once we have we'll communicate that accordingly.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience caused, and we'll communicate any updates as time goes on.

Oh good. I literally had to download the java client to dg. 😬

That's commitment @Nikkie

The bug itself is horrible let’s face it any ability to crash a client plain sucks I’m looking at you alt-code bug...

For the fix we’ve had to completely re-do the title system engine-side. That has knock-on effects on things outside of the "core" game:

• The forums and runemetrics means our web team are involved
• The engine side means our engine team are involved
• Our content development team are involved in reimplementing how titles work
• The localisation team need to re-translate every title
• The content QA team need to retest titles
• The mobile team need to implement changes into the mobile client
• The tech QA team need to run compatibility checks on the new desktop and mobile clients.

Aside from all of that, we're almost ready. We're now going through the last stages of release testing, which means we should hopefully have the fix launched in a reboot this week, if all goes well.

lol, I'm sorry, but that's just funny. It also gives you a pretty good idea about the state of their legacy code. What puzzles me about this, though, is why they would need to re-translate every title? It's not like the titles will have changed, right? Also, why don't they just unit test the titles? Do they actually rely on human tests for everything?
