Runescape on Ubuntu is it possible?

[Vigh]

Hi is it possible to play runescape on Ubuntu, preferabbly using SwiftKit, if not just in the browser. I have wine and crossover. I would really love to get runescape going in ubuntu. Cheers Anthony

The browser version runs on adobe flash and thus on linux. (Native, no wine or crossover required). You have to play on low graphics quality tough, high doesn't work. I tested it out for someone else on the forum once.

Since I don't play runescape, I have never heard of the client you mentioned, but just take a look in the wine appdb to see if it works with wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/

Have fun!

It uses Java, and should work fine. I think you may have to use an unsigned applet though -- it's been a while.

It's a browser game, thus there should be no problem running it on Linux. As long as you have the latest version of Adobe Flash (Which has an Ubuntu version) you should be good to go.

I wasn't aware there were programs you could use to play this game, but your best bet would be to try Wine to run it. However make sure it's not choppy. Some programs, like Safari, run super choppy through Wine, and you'd be better of staying in a browser.

Hope this helps,

Works fine here, be sure to go into:
System-->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
and install Sun-Java

Hi, I'm a linux newbie and I got runescape up and running in the new HD version. I use firefox v3 and the latest sun java version 6 i think. I had to delete java and reinstall it. Then used the "patch" RS give in there technical advise to get it to run full screen but its running awesome. Swiftkit doesnt work in ubuntu or any linux for that matter, so you would have to use wine if you wanted to use it. There was another programme similiar to swift kit but I lost the link and can't even remember the name, but its out there somewhere

you dont need wine to run runescape its a browser dependent programme, ie its run by java, all 3d and HD works well remove openjava-jdk, you can install the full sun-java packages (synaptic) or simly install the extra firefox runescape plugins zybez & the runeHQ browser bar they will install the correct java stuff, widescreen is sorted by

1. Open a linux terminal window.
2. Type the following commands:
* cd /usr/bin/X11
* sudo cp Xorg Xorg-backup
* sudo sed -i s/XINERAMA/ZINERAMA/g Xorg
3. Then reboot your linux machine.
ALL the compiz stuff still works too no need to disable or change desktop settings (rightclicking change the desktop settings) the desktop visual effects non as mentioned you can leave them on full normal extra or custom) ie if you got compiz working just add the above stuff keeping all compiz HD and widescreen browser working great at same time. thanks guys....
