Download the Jagex Launcher for Linux now!

Glad to see some official Linux support. RuneLite has always been available on Linux, but using a Jagex Account required the Jagex Launcher, and Jagex Accounts will soon be mandatory.

      The Launcher is required to use Jagex accounts (unless you want to use the third party Bolt launcher, which works fine) instead of old, insecure RuneScape accounts. The latter is also being fully discontinued for actually logging in to the game, so this is them properly supporting Linux again before that is enforced.

    Sad days. Haven’t played in forever but the jar client was hella universal and let you play on anything. And Javas on arm, your pi, etc. Was such a low effort game 90% of the time and was made to be “playable” at like 10 fps on a web browser 30 years ago. So it was always a fun benchmark, similar putting doom on a calculator.

    Going to be a lot harder for private servers and communities that where making HD clients. Makes me want to find a vanilla private server I can preserve or play around with locally.
