Original Post — Direct link

I know this is not new for some, but I keep seeing a post here and there, and people in game wondering about their high cpu usage, so figured this might be of help.

Since the update this week, something has been bugged with the new lobby and going to the lobby after being in game currently has been stressing the cpu WAY more than it should, leading to heightened cpu temperature. If you sit in the lobby from a fresh restart of the client, you will not experience any of this - it is only after going to lobby after playing.

If you know you're going to lobby for any extended amount of time, close out of the game instead. As far as I know, this has been affecting everyone.

/u/JagexHooli can we please get updates on this? This is a major issue, considering how many players sit in the lobby for extended amounts of time.

It's 100% being worked on. Checking in with the team at the moment on what our timeline looks like.

How about also fixing the STEAM login screen issues:

  • The "gear icon" / "options" does not work, it doesn't do anything, can't be able to change any settings from login screen not even mute the audio. Esc does nothing either.

  • If you log out after being ngame or lobby its impossible to log back in because the whole box is entirely blank. You have to close and reopen the game to log back in.

Those have been reported too - the team are working on it so we can resolve it asap.
