Through this launcher, you can login to your Jagex Account securely to play OSRS through RuneLite on Linux. This will look different to the Jagex Launcher on Windows and Mac. However, you are still able to access all your characters by using the drop down under "Play Now".
FAQs
Can I use a VPN?
We do not support or endorse the use of VPNs, proxies or hosting servers when connecting to our services.
If you're having trouble connecting whilst using a VPN, proxy or hosting server, this is most likely the cause. We can only advise you try disabling it before launching the game or accessing our services as this often resolves the issue.
Do I need admin privileges?
Nope! Admin privileges are not required to install the Beta Launcher, and we'd generally advise not running the application as an admin either as you may encounter issues.
Do you support Steam Deck?
We currently do not support Steam Deck therefore you may experience issues. That said, if you wish to use Steam Deck, we recommend using 'Desktop Mode'.
When is RuneScape coming?
We are working towards bringing official Linux support to RuneScape before the end of the year. We recommend keeping an eye out in news posts for updates on this.
What do I do if I experience a problem?
As this is a Beta, you may encounter issues or unexpected behaviour while we continue to improve the Launcher. That said, to report these issues to us, you can either report the issue via our Official Discord Server in the #Linux Launcher Channel or click 'Talk to us' at the bottom of this page to get in touch and we'll make sure this is passed on to the team.
Why do I need to install FUSE?
AppImages require FUSE to run. In the event that your system does not have FUSE installed, please see the official AppImage docs for further instruction.
Why can't I use the AppImageLauncher?
The Jagex Launcher for Linux does not currently support automated AppImage desktop integration via software such as AppImageLauncher. It is recommended that you do not allow such software to interact with the Launcher.
