Libcurl issue may now be resolved by installing libcurl3, copying the binaries into some other place, uninstalling it, reinstalling libcurl4 and pointing library path to the location where libcurl3 files where copied. Maybe its possible to bundle your own version of libcurl3 and use that, but I'm not how it's going to work with other distros.

I am using the cracking sound workaround, but sometimes, not always, but like 30% of the time sound starts cracking on game start even with this workaround. If it does not crack on start, it never starts cracking while playing and if it cracks on start, it sometimes stops cracking, I think the tendency is that it stops cracking when teleporting to another area, but not every teleport fixes that.

Overall the linux client works quite well and I have noticed no major issues. Of course a working apt-get install would be a nice thing to have.

I will watch (listen?) the sound closely after the update and if happens again, I ...

looks like the update is not in the repo yet, did apt-get update and it says runescape-launcher is already the newest version (2.2.4) when trying to update it

Any updates on Linux client compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04 and the cracking sound on Linux issue?

Okay thank you. Can I ask what his role is within Jagex?

Also forgive me, but his answer sounds like a cop out. Generic "why focus on the past when we can focus on the future". Surely we can't be expected to believe that?

My understanding from what I last saw was that he recorded donations and didn't convert it to pounds, and essentially overstated the donation amount on stream/afterwards before being called out.

I'm not necessarily stating that's exactly what happened, just what I saw last after this whole situation. All I care about now is that Macmillan is getting the full donation amount recorded/announced, and that there'll be mitigation to this type of situation in the future. It wasn't handled well at all, and hoping we don't end up here again for any charity streams.

General upkeep shouldn't be too bad. Most of the hard work is already done, we hope. Of course, there's always the possibility of hiccups, which I guess is what letting people access previews of the sites early allows us to prepare for.

In terms of editing - we have a fair few active editors and we can usually update our content within 24 hours or so of an update. We don't expect that to change, if anything it should improve.

Edit: Regarding your edit, that's just Jagex protecting their trademark because of the word "runescape" in the domain. It's a scenario that neither us or Jagex ever expect to happen, but even if it did, it doesn't prevent us from simply moving our content elsewhere.

We're working on this project in partnership with Jagex, so you can expect to see links from the official website and other mediums when we're ready to launch.

We have a contract in writing with Jagex about what they can and can't do. Rest assured, they don't want to hinder the site, and we're not prepared to let them.

Heey Allstar, been a while.

I dealt with HTTPS in the lazy way - set up an Apache2 reverse proxy for my services with SSL via Letsencrypt. I imagine RuneScape's website with load balancing and such is quiiite a bit more complex. :p

That's not quite true. If you log into the website home page, you can access account settings without having to log back in. If you log into the forums though, you'll be logged into the main website alongside but not be able to access account settings without another login attempt.

How do u get it to load on Internet Explorer? On IE11 I only get this:

Please upgrade your browser Unfortunately your browser does not support this feature. Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox or Google Chrome.

In case any JMod cares: the rendering has been messed up with missing textures etc since Dec 2016 after the NXT update that brought anisotropic filtering and uncompressed textures (same update also caused glitched forum avatars).

In its current mishmash state, /r/veryinfuriating would be more appropriate.

Thankfully, as we work on the website myself & Mod Allstar as well as the other members of the web team are moving everything over to HTTPS by default. Its not great that we aren't there already, but a few places such as the forums, news and a few other sections of the site are lagging behind a little.

Its a frustration we all want rid of as we all use the website ourselves on a daily basis.
