My client started getting stuck at about 20% completion while "Loading Application Resources", and doesn't seem to be able to progress further. It was working fine earlier today.

I've tried unplugging my second monitor, restarting, clearing my cache, and switching to compatibility mode, but nothing seems to be working.

Any one else run into this problem/know how to fix it?

EDIT: Seems to work normally for me now - not sure what changed on their backend.

Hey - thanks for letting us know. This is something we're aware of and are trying to replicate - we'll keep you updated when we have a fix in place (hopefully sooner, rather than later!).

In the meantime, try deleting your cache (jcache files inside C://ProgramData/Jagex/RuneScape) and let us know if that works.

EDIT: More information:

The only players who should be deleting the cache are those that have ran the installer recently, be that a re-install or a regular install, as any players experiencing slow loading will have their issue exacerbated by re-installing the game.

Also note this cache issue is Windows only.
