I see there are several different ways to install OSRS on Linux - flatpaks, Android emulators, Steam, etc. - but can anyone recommend the best as far as ease of setup? With lack of glitches being the second priority?
I have an AMD GPU that is quite recent (<5 years)
Runelite flatpak probably.
Kindajust tagging onto this post, but does anyone know how to use the HD plugin that was made for OSRS awhile back? I stopped following it, and don’t remember if it had Linux support. Would love to know!
The 117HD? It works fine in Linux if you run Runelite, either via bolt or just the raw appimage
Since they changed to Jagex accounts, you can’t use Runelite directly anymore.
I use this launcher now. It lets you login to your Jagex account, then choose to play in either Runelite or the official client.
It would be nice if Jagex would confirm that it is fine to use this laucher. As far as I know we have no more information than this tweet from Mod Ash: https://x.com/kaelygon/status/1763667578315042847 Bolt does work the same as the official launcher, so it should not be a problem…
Jagex’s help site links to this github which is a collection of working Linux projects, including bolt.
It’s not perfect, but I consider it as Jagex saying it’s fine.
It’s been a while since I’ve played either Runescape or OSRS and my accounts were never upgraded to Jagex accounts, if I upgrade one of them to a Jagex account, is it possible to link my other account to that same Jagex account?
Yes, this is exactly what I did when they forced the change a while back.
It’s actually kinda nice because it’s only one login now and easy to switch between them.
Ok thanks.
RuneLite
I guess RuneLite as an AppImage?
Steam.
I would say steam
