Hi all. Just wanted to drop in and let you know the team are still working hard to get this sorted. We'll keep you updated at a minimum of every half-hour, even if we don't have new specifics to share, until this situation is resolved.

With our website down, you can either follow our updates here on Reddit, on Social or on Discord. Please let others know where you can who are looking for information.

Thanks so much for the continued patience - we will get you playing again as soon as we possibly can.

Thanks for this report. We'll pass it to the team to investigate.

That's totally an option for us if it becomes absolutely necessary. We're going to be acting as swiftly as possible on anyone abusing it from here on out - and if that's not effective enough, we have the hotfix lever as a backup plan as a more extensive preventative measure.

Hello ‘Scapers,

We have been investigating an exploit in Elite Dungeons that allows players to skip content in an unintentional way and have some important updates to share today.

Before we dive into the details, we want to be explicitly clear – skipping Elite Dungeons content to continually fight bosses is considered an exploit and will come with repercussions to protect the integrity of the game.

What's Happened So Far?

The Elite Dungeon Exploit has been something we’ve been looking into for some time, with it growing in priority for us over the past few weeks as the awareness and use of the exploit began to rise.

Since the early days of discovering the issue, we’ve deployed several smaller behind the scenes fixes to try and prevent abuse – but with each of the fixes, new workarounds emerged. It’s clear that resolving this will take some significant development work to identify a way to fully protect Elite ...

I'll check in with the team on this one now.

Hey everyone. Just a heads up that we've deployed a new warmfix this morning (Wednesday) to address one of the more commonly occurring crashes in the desktop client. More updates are on the way over the coming days.

Hi everyone,

We have deployed a new warmfix for the RuneScape Desktop Client that fixes a potential crash that could occur just after loading/teleporting to certain areas.

We are continuing to work on further updates over the coming days to address further crashes. Please do let us know if you are encountering any issues in the comments and we'll pass them along to the investigations.

We will be making that very clear when we talk about it, which won't be long. We're just gathering some of the final facts so we can communicate that sort of stuff with clarity.

Will the spear parts work like the ECB or Telos where you get them in order, or are they random like most other boss drops?

They are random, but you can trade them.

Hey everyone - just a heads up, this issue has been hotfixed as of this morning. No more treating you like a new Yak Track'er every time you open it up.

Adding this from outside the edit I made in the main post.

UPDATE: March 2, 6pm Game Time

We have another hotfix on the way focused on resolving the most common crash for the RuneScape Client.

We are targeting rolling this out tomorrow (Wednesday) morning as soon as possible. We'll let you know as soon as we have a confirmed release time to share.

Checked with the team on this.

It doesn't, same as Raksha. The design intent is to make sure the encounter doesn't feel worse when the Roar effect isn't active - you should feel you can do it whenever you like.

Might have some good news for you on this - the graphical rework for the DK pets is still in plan and hasn't been cut. It's being worked on around other content through outsourced development, similar to how the Activity Pets were delivered.

There's no release date right now but they are still in plan at this time.

Thanks all for your reports so far. We've alerted the team to investigate further.

Thank you for this - I've passed this report and the other threads to the team.

PSA: We're deploying an update at ~10:30am Game Time today (Tuesday) to address the Yak Track crash on open and the graphical settings bug.

Further hotfixes for other client crashes are in flight and we'll have more to share on those very soon.

It will come to Premier Club Tokens in the future.

As we mentioned in last week's News Post, there's a bunch of test features, offers and so on in Mobile right now - and while they are in a test period, we're not shining a spotlight on them to minimize disruption to any test results.

We will talk about anything added in Mobile recently soon and in full once that's no longer a problem.

The crash on open is a separate issue which we are hoping to hotfix out as soon as we can tomorrow AM

It's about complexity. Nothing about the ED issue is straight forward - this is a hugely complex issue to solve that takes some significant work, and any short term solutions in the past failed to prevent it as new workarounds were discovered.

Before we come out to talk about it in detail, we are assessing all the factors so we can talk about options, timelines, the whole lot.

It's a conversation we will absolutely have, and the hope part is that we are optimistic we'll have all that information sooner rather than later so we can start that discussion in some way.
