I can't speak to that, nor can I seem to find it, but u/Shaunyowns has posted before (I think on behalf of someone?) of a ring being destroyed by the scrim. This was at hydrix dragons iirc.

Great decision on Jagex's part. Stay safe, everyone. I'll be humming the first four bars of Sea Shanty 2 about 10 times a day! 🌊

Aw yis.

Will the Linux client be fixed this week?

It won't be fixed in this weeks update, sadly.. We're aware of the issue and working our way through getting a fix live for it. This has to be part of an engine release and they are generally a bit slower than regular fixes.

What’s difference between a cold fix and hot fix?

Hotfix:
A change that we're able to make on the fly without requiring players to do anything in order for it to come into effect.

Warmfix:
A change to the engine, that requires you to restart the client in order for it to come into effect

Coldfix:
A change that requires us to restart the whole game in order for it to come into effect

Correct! We have a Warmfix too, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails...

So what does this mean for Archaeology?

Business as usual, really. We're all ready to go and we expect to launch on the 30th (pending any further guidance from the government), it's just a case of making sure we have the ability to have enough staff working remotely (and safely) to cover a game update of the size of Archaeology.

I think it is already ready to be released. But if there is big bugs on launch, they may not be able to fix them from home, which makes it risky to release.

Code lock was on Friday, so it is exactly this. It's ready to go, we just need to confirm we have the resource remotely to jump on any fixes that may need to happen with release. We're working on it, but don't foresee any issues.

Basically means the player has to reload the client if I recall.

Correct!

I think I remember hearing on a livestream a warm fix is a client restart

Correct. I was testing you, and you passed <.<

Hot fix is an update without restarting the game, cold fix restarts the game. I think that’s the right way round anyway

Correct! We have a Warmfix too, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails...

Mod Poerkie hope all the J-Mods are busy training Construction at thier POH atm hopefuly they dont come back to to office with too much RSI after building all those flotsam Prawnbrokers =)

The majority of us are working to some capacity from home and will only receive more access if the day progresses. so maybe a bit of RS3 for some of us, but we'll be getting a lot of work done too!

When was the last time Jagex missed a Monday update? It must have been before I started playing. Anyone know?

We tend to not release on Monday if it's a bank holiday too.

Any information about the log in issue yesterday that was only solved after reset? Lost a whole day without being able to play runescape.

I believe a temporary fix is to delete your cache manually (going to the folder) to fix it . A more permanent solution is being worked on.

Why do I get the feeling that archaeology will get delay by a month

To me, the likelyhood of this happening would be incredible small.

Guessing you meant reassessing! Reassing is.... Something different, I'm sure.

Edit: stay safe, and take care of one another.

This is what you get when you have to work on a different laptop from home :)

Make sure you're atleast one tile away from any player, NPC or monster to avoid spreading it.

Just as a quick note - you can expect a small Cold Fix to come this afternoon - this is not the game update.
