RuneScape Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ThomasLoskin Thomas (TheHumbleOutlaw) (@ThomasLoskin) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Why are there so many issues with updates nowadays? Inexperienced devs or what? I don't get it..

  • __Tjsmith (TJ) murphy stan acc (@__Tjsmith) reported

    @OldSchoolRS This has become a weekly issue after ever update. Are the QA / update teams being punished for consistent errors, I know if I’d have made this many **** ups in my role I’d be sacked

  • JaciwMatthew Matthew Jaciw (@JaciwMatthew) reported

    @mattynewns @OldSchoolRS i mean, ur right but they shed no light on the issues at hand, i dont know whats occurring, i couldnt even suggest a solution, and it's gonna take all this time? just seems.. kinda lack luster really. or intentional.

  • Guy_Hootukatit Dutch (@Guy_Hootukatit) reported

    @xXtukeXx @DitterBitter @OldSchoolRS I get the feeling you have trouble with that

  • Walta53231351 Walta (@Walta53231351) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Why wouldn't you just roll it back to before the update and leave the update for next week or whenever you're ready to release it? Doesn't make sense to rush the fix when you could just not go through with the update today. @JagexAsh

  • Sir_Chardo Sir Chardo (@Sir_Chardo) reported

    @ArisugawaRS @OldSchoolRS Go off king! You tell'em how you'd do it and never have issues. I hope we can get HR to finalize your contract soon. They could easily drop 3 of these inferior jmods for you.

  • awfabtajahafaj1 John Smith (@awfabtajahafaj1) reported

    @OldSchoolRS roll it all back and fix like 3 bugs. cya in 5 hours

  • AurimasNiponel Aurimas (@AurimasNiponel) reported

    @OldSchoolRS @OldSchoolRS you see every week you make a **** update witch crash pvp content. or you make an update witch ***** all game , maybe its time to change your whole osrs team? wake up all you do is FAIL.

  • Devdiee DDBB1337 (@Devdiee) reported

    @OldSchoolRS How is it that you guys have 10 times more employees but also 10 times more problems since the start of OSRS?

  • KemsRS f2p kotsumi (@KemsRS) reported

    @BrinkVFX @mattynewns @OldSchoolRS Okay so let me change it, they can’t release without have to fix some **** for hours, you’re right dumbass I am totally out of line to think that’s ******* incredibly dumb

  • ISpelRong ISpelRong (@ISpelRong) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Time for the monthly rollback. Game never used to be broken so often.

  • CandyPawVTuber 🌸 ♡𝓒𝓪𝓷𝓭𝔂 ╎ 𝓥𝓣𝓾𝓫𝓮𝓻 ♡ 🌸 (@CandyPawVTuber) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Is anyone else still having issues? My osrs cant connect to the update server

  • AltFancy Fancy (@AltFancy) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I literally don't even log in for 2 hours after your updates because I figure it'll be rolled back. It's okay if this happens once every couple months but this is really a consistent recurring issue.

  • tata_barnes Barnes (@tata_barnes) reported

    legit despite logging into runescape bc of how much of a dogshit company jagex is and how many hrs wasted to dc/lag/"rollback"/1 year wait for a rerun, just disgusting even pressing login, only to see a too many login attempts msg lmfao

  • joeytje50 Joeytje50 (@joeytje50) reported

    @OldSchoolRS I sure hope this does not cause group storage issues like the previous time, because otherwise it'll cost my group a dragon axe AND zerker ring...

  • Billy__Dingus Billy_Dingus (@Billy__Dingus) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Is the launcher not working? Normal launcher and Runelite aren't loading up

  • EricCartmnn Eric (@EricCartmnn) reported

    @mattynewns @MarcusGthedood @OldSchoolRS It happens after every big update for the past 2-3 years. And why you explaining the obvious about the rollback. The issue is that it happens everytime.

  • UncleBigThumbs Scotty Boy (@UncleBigThumbs) reported

    @OldSchoolRS What was the issue with untradable items that caused this shut down?

  • Mattosrs1 Mattosrs (@Mattosrs1) reported

    @mattynewns @KemsRS @OldSchoolRS Shut up and accept they have some real issues within their team

  • BrinkVFX Brink (@BrinkVFX) reported

    @KemsRS @mattynewns @OldSchoolRS Yeah cause majority of games don’t bother even fixing the issues lmfao that’s the one thing I like about jagex. At least they fix **** when it breaks

  • schemer18103928 paigon (@schemer18103928) reported

    @mattynewns @OldSchoolRS stupid encouraging incompetency, once is understandable. Every week? is a problem. If you understand how 'game dev' works, you'll know people (QA) are not performing their job right.

  • mattynewns Matt Newnam (@mattynewns) reported

    @JaciwMatthew @OldSchoolRS their previous tweet mentioned an issue regarding untradeable items, i'm betting players were losing them in scenarios where they shouldn't. i'm with you, it's not ideal, but as i'm also not a game dev, all i can really do is trust and then keep playing, which i'm okay with

  • BlindGuardian6 Stefan McTowelie (@BlindGuardian6) reported

    @ISpelRong @OldSchoolRS Oh they definitely used to be that broken. The internet was just not around. Runescape had multiple cases in the past, that absolutely destroyed the economy multiple times. And they never rolled back.

  • OliLthompsom Oli (@OliLthompsom) reported

    @OldSchoolRS FIX the new quest on IOS. Cant give the answer to trailborn without it force shutting app

  • xx_420blazeswag Uhhhhhhh (@xx_420blazeswag) reported

    @OldSchoolRS ETA? This is unironically the 1st day in 2 months I've had motivation to grind heavy. Big Sad. Hopefully it is an easy fix for you guys, looking forward to the new minigame

  • Mattosrs1 Mattosrs (@Mattosrs1) reported

    @Jcu0511 @XwiggywiggyX @OldSchoolRS Bro we are all just asking for them to get updates right first time, the consistency of these issue is insane. However no, I couldn't show you that as I don't get paid to develop games though. I certainly make sure my paid work is mistake free however.

  • morgadonuno02 Nmorgado (@morgadonuno02) reported

    @OldSchoolRS Can anyone login with runelite?

  • IWugz Its Wugz (@IWugz) reported

    @Mattosrs1 @XwiggywiggyX @OldSchoolRS It's definitely frustrating no doubt. But the dev team works hard, and you have to consider pressure from higher ups+stakeholders as well to release new content. As many errors are made they are fixed fairly quickly and they take necessary steps to make sure the game doesnt die

  • arman2c3 RunedLTD (@arman2c3) reported

    @OldSchoolRS How often are updates going towards fixing the technical debt of the game? It seems like everything is too feature heavy which just ends up compounding issues.

  • HydroElectricTV Randall (@HydroElectricTV) reported

    @__Tjsmith @OldSchoolRS The real issue is jagex pays like ****, so the employees work from pure passion and don’t have the resources necessary to continue good work. This can sustain itself though as nobody is going to quit RS over this and they know it.
