Improving your game client {Java}
« on: April 05, 2016, 11:20:37 »
Howdy, found some useful information on the Runescape Wiki which can help improve your performance in Runescape. I've tried these out myself and as of right now there have been no problems. I'm seeing an immediate benefit in loading times and opening the world. Opening the world map literally takes a second to open!

Increasing maximum heap usage
You can increase the amount of maximum heap the RuneScape client uses and it is often a recommended step in troubleshooting on the official Forum. To do this:

• Open %USERPROFILE%\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\runescape\runescape.prm in Notepad/wordpad.

• Change every instance of -Xmx384m to a higher value; -Xmx512m is recommended

• Save and close the file

Allocating too much memory to the heap can cause game instability. If, after increasing the amount of maximum heap, your client begins to crash to desktop, decrease the maximum heap size and try again.

Using a different garbage collector
You can optionally choose a different garbage collector for the Runescape client to use. This will potentially improve map loading times, and decrease lag caused by garbage collection.

To make the changes to your Client's configuration file:
• Open %USERPROFILE%\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\runescape\runescape.prm in Notepad/wordpad.

• Remove every instance of the following flags
-XX:CompileThreshold=1500
-Xincgc
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+UseParNewGC

• Add the following flags:
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC
-XX:+AggressiveOpts
-XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500
-XX:SurvivorRatio=16
-XX:+UseParallelGC

• Save and close the file

I hope this can help improve your game experience, it's well worth a shot if you ask me! If anything is to go wrong you can always modify

It's worth a try and even if it doesn't fix it, it may improve your gameplay anyway.

Check this out on how to possibly fix blackscreening.

If you're having a black screen it means you're loading the cache :P

Only unnecessary if you decide to use the NXT client tbh :)

I still believe that NXT is rushed and probably it is not worth to use it at first as it is still full of bugs.
Lead me, follow me, or get the hell out of my way.

Nice guide, but be cautious when you're doing this :) You allocate more of your RAM to the RuneScape client so it's suggested not to do this if you're multitasking and have low RAM. ^^
