error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1

if that helps resolve this issue.. would rather not have to sit and reinstall windows for the next 12 hours just to play today's update

You'll need to perform an apt update/upgrade, the launcher has been updated and now requires libssl1.1. What distro+version are you on?

Having the same issue since I woke up this morning, runescape-launcher apparently updates itself and does not use the package manager giving Jagex the power to break installation on systems which are not running the latest version of your Linux distribution without informing you or giving you any time to prepare, whenever they feel an update is in order. libssl1.1 is available in Ubuntu 18.04 and derivatives, not available in Ubuntu 16.04 and derivatives. I can't find a backport. So, in the middle of DOUBLE XP WEEK, you wake up one morning and can no longer play Runescape until you reimage. Unless someone can find a backport of libssl1.1 for Ubuntu Xenial derivatives, you're stuck until you can find the time to do a full system upgrade and every big software package you run has complete support for 18.04.

Ubuntu 18.04 is the new minimum requirement as of the big Linux update: https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/news-post-linux-client-improvements It was coincidentally working on your 16.04 system for a couple of weeks due to library update we forgot to apply. This was at the expense of many newer systems - it is a balancing act, and to help ensure forward compatibility we must favour newer libraries

If you can't update to 18.04, you may be able to build from source, or possibly even install the libssl1.1 package from Debian 9. Anything like this is at your own risk
