I have Intel HD 520 graphics and when I play Runescape it says my graphics drivers are about 1000 days old, I have used SupportAssist and downloaded directly from Dell's download center but the message still persists(the game works but the message bugs me). I also tried Intel's driver assistant which said my drivers were up to date. Does anyone know what's up or a solution to this? I also can't see the Intel HD graphics Control Panel which used to be visible before the HDD was replaced or formatted.

I'm in a cicle here, can't open jagex without downloading Runescape Client, but there's no option for it? Only for oldschool and not R3? is that a bug in the sistem?

On smoke breaks I talk with a friend about my dreams of escaping the casino and talk about my rust adventures. He asked me to tell him where to start programming and what project to do. I am going to video call with him to go to get to hello world but wrote this guide so he could follow and repeat.

Terminal:

Most code in the world does not have a graphical user interface (gui). Such artwork is expensive to make and costly to run. Instead we work with the bare minimum in the terminal.
The terminal is a text interface where you can have powerful control of your computer. There are things that dont have any buttons, but everything has logic in terminal.
I am on Mac and use Zsh as my native terminal, I think you have Command Prompt but it will depend on you version of windows. I highly recommend you study your shell sooner than later. It can make life way easier.
I know some windows but can not give you too much advice. No matter what coding language you want to use you are likely going to want to use bash to automate stuff. I used bash to automate the login of my 6 Old School RuneScape accounts. Took me several minutes every play session, turned into one click with some light coding.

Interactive Development Environment:

Choose an IDE and look at all the options. check all the settings. I use VSCode. Look for extensions, configure them all. They can be incredibly powerful for your understanding of what your code is doing and what the borrow checker wants from you.
Don't stick with VSCode, different IDEs provide vastly different experiences per language. Always shop around.

Cargo:

Cargo is rusts package manager. It can get code from the internet, compile and ship your code, do versioning and most of the tedious stuff of coding.
Learn cargo well this is how you take your code and do things with it.
Do beware that cargo allows you to download arbitrary code from the internet. Don't go downloading sketchy shit and getting pwnd. But for big projects absolutely go ahead this community is awesome.
There is no need to enable git versioning with cargo, but it would be cool should you lose your computer your code would still be in the cloud and retrievable.

Rust's Borrow Checker:

The borrow checker is apart of the rust compiler, the thing that turns your text into computer code. It is going to be the bane of your existence should you stay with rust.
The borrow checker prints to terminal a highly detailed and specific commentary on your code explaining what it will not accept as valid rust code.
Read everything it says, often the borrow checker will explicitly tell you what to do to solve the problem. This will be most of your workflow, making the borrow checker happy. Once the rules of the borrow checker are followed, your program will run flawlessly. It may not make sense logically, But in a memory sense, the point of rust, safe.
If you use the borrow checker in the IDE you may get some hyperlinks that let you jump through your code to debug way faster than scrolling.
Do be warned though that there are bugs in rust, but none that beginners like us have to worry about.

Shop around for languages:

Rust is making me learn computer science and bring me really close to flipping bits and I think that is really cool.
Python is quick and easy to use. You can get competent in a month.
Python is 100x slower than rust but waaaaay more fun to use.
Rust is faster, but takes 10x longer to write at this point. But when I have completed something it is safe, fast, and as exact as I could want something.
If I wanted a job right away I would learn JavaScript, JS runs 90% of the internet and the majority of the jobs. But it's 29 years old, slow and unsafe. Its ecosystem is huge. Memes are bad. No dommy borrow checker.
C++ is the parent language to Rust. Haskell is also a big influencing factor. I would learn some about these languages and why rust 'fixes' them.

Bacon:

One tool I find so helpful in rust is called Bacon. It will automaticly rerun your program whenever you change the code. So instead of having to manually ask the computer to run it can always be running on the side, along with great displays of the borrow checker and clippy text recommendations.
Must have use it every time I VSCode open.

Clippy:

\\ this is a linter whose implications I have yet to understand see comments below!
Clippy is the formatter cargo uses to proofread and restyle your code. Very convenient when you get all sweaty and shit out some code from your stream of conscious then you can type one command and make it look intentional again.

Configure VSCode to support rust by downloading these extensions:

• Code Runner, for cargo support.
• CodeLLDB, for rust debugging support.
• crates, for better searching of third party crates from crates.io.
• Error Lens, highlights errors inline - very useful.
• Even Better TOML, syntax support for TOML manifest.
• Prettier, auto formats your code so its consistent with common style guides.
• Rust-analyzer, MANDATORY - this provides rust syntax support for VSCode.
• Rust Syntax, this enhances rust-analyzer.

Setup Hotkeys:

Setup a hotkey in vscode to run rust in its cargo run format with code runner.
This is rather complicated and cost me way to much time, but go to extentsions, Code-Runner. Click Code-Runner: Executor Map Edit Settings.json.
look for the rust entry in the field

{ "code-runner.executorMap": { ~ "rust": sadness_and_lies, ~ }, "code-runner.clearPreviousOutput": true, "editor.rulers": [120], } Should be: "rust": "cargo run # $fileName", 

Then go to hotkeys in the VSCode settings and search code-runner.
Edit the entry:
Run Code
code-runner.run
To your specifed hotkey. This will make VSCode use cargo to run your code. This hotkey should also run other languages should you do so.
Bacon must be added to your path. This may be difficult on windows I dont know but I challenge you to EITHER:
Make a profile in your terminal that has Bacon in the path (I failed to do this but got Zsh to run a Bash script that brings bacon to path on startup),
or make a macro/hotkey in vscode to bring them to path (this is what I did in VSCode only becasue I dont understand Zsh profiles enough... hours wasted)
oh by the way Bacon can be installed with 'cargo install bacon' and is found in root/.cargo/bin
My solution to VSCode was to add

[ { "key": "cmd+b", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", "args": { "text": "bacon\u000D" } }, { "key": "alt+b", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", "args": { "text": "export PATH=$PATH:/Users/work/.cargo/bin\u000D" } }, ] 

to the keybindings.json
this lets me opt+b to bring cargo tools to Zsh path,
then cmd+b to start bacon.
Note that this will bring any cargo shell tools to path. One nice one I like is Exa, a file viewer like Dir but better
I know this was a wall of text but once you can do this 👍

Well that's it. Thanks for reading. Thanks for sharing everything I know is from the internet.

THREE DAYS LATER EDIT: I tried both! I started with WoW and discovered that what I really wanted was an excuse to run around doing dumb bullshit fetch quests, and at least the expansion it dropped me into (Battle for Azeroth) did not scratch that itch. The tutorial area definitely did, though, and I may come back to it some other time.
I then downloaded GW2 and it's exactly what I wanted tbh! Having a great time wandering about and exploring.
I'm in the mood for a new game; I'm a bit burned out on FFXIV at the moment, so I thought I might try a new MMO. But I'm open to singleplayer games as well! My platforms are PC, Switch, and PS5.
Both WoW and GW2 interest me; I haven't tried WoW at all, and I tried GW2 years ago but had a friend backseating which made it unpleasant, so I'd be willing to try again. ESO may also be a possibility, but the art style and combat look less compelling at the moment.
What I want most:

• Character customization! I want the chance to make a fun new OC. Doesn't have to be super in-depth tbh.
• Fashion! Cool outfits to discover or grind for. I'm not someone who cares about the prestige of gear so much as making fun and unique outfits. Paid cosmetics are fine, but I'm not interested in a game where they're the only good option.
• A fun world to explore! Ideally something bright and colorful, maybe even a bit cartoony, which is why WoW is interesting to me at the moment.
• Ideally a fantasy setting? SWTOR would probably interest me if it wasn't sci-fi (I like Star Wars but I don't find the setting all that interesting)
• Instanced player housing? Definitely optional, but I do love me a good housing system. Not interested in base-building survival MMOs, though.

Story can kind of be whatever, I like a good story but my brain is full of too many things right now to care as much about it. Community also doesn't matter a ton to me; as long as I can largely ignore other people and do my own thing except for instanced content and player economy stuff, I'm fine with that.
Stuff I've played: FFXIV, OSRS, BG3, Wizard101 (yes really), Skyrim, Oblivion, DQB2, Dragon Age
Stuff I'm not interested in: Genshin/HSR (trying to avoid gachas), Lost Ark (tried it, hated it), BDO, New Runescape
EDIT: I think it's worth noting that I'm not looking to replace FFXIV, just try something new and get out of my comfort zone for a bit! I don't imagine I'll be doing any hard content or endgame raiding in whatever I try next.

Hello. I like grinding in games under one condition. If the game allows you to use a savegame from the internet such as in the game Deep Rock Galactic or Wreckfest, then the grind is non existent for me, because I don't want to waste 1000 hours in a game only to be left wondering why I didn't just use the savegame and get everything completed.
That's why I prefer games such as Need For Speed 2015 which is always online and saves your progress (rank, money) on developer servers. It makes the grind worthy because it can not otherwise be obtained. Same with World of Warcraft and Old School RuneScape, do you seriously think anyone would play these games if you could just download a savegame or use a save editor???
So what games are there that are easy to play and fun to play and offer like infinite grind? OSRS is pretty good I guess. What else is there? I am actually looking for such a grindy game where I don't have to use my full concentration but just click away while listening to music or something... now I know Old School RuneScape fits that description perfectly but I was wondering if there were some other games that are fun with a grind.

My friend that i played Aram with for more than 10 years quit the game after Riot forces all players to download Vanguard and install it. He said that it's not safe. I downloaded and installed it. No issue so far...
Update: Thanks for all your input. I have decided to uninstall as well after reading all your comments. Looks like its not safe after all. Gonna try to convince him play Old School RuneScape

I finally downloaded an unlimited consumable mod just to get enough gold without having to do the same route 100 times over to afford a prosthetic upgrade or the last gourd seed. I’m an avid runescape player and even I felt that the grind in this game was unnecessary. I’ve played all dark souls games and never had to grind for souls like I did for gold or prosthetic parts. Brilliant game design and combat with little flaws just wanted to mention this to see if anybody else felt the same. Maybe get a different perspective. :)

Hey all,
I have just gotten back from a long break tried to log in my account and I couldnt. So i tried to recover my account after so many tries (username wasnt recognised, password was wrong) and finally managed to get on it with the help of support. Mod Beano told me account got hijacked by a third party and passed me on to other staff.
After few emails with staffs mod klepew and others. They were basically telling me i didnt take necessary precautions to keep my account safe and i cant be reimbursed. Gears and cash totalling 2bil+
I got hacked in the first year of playing runescape at an internet cafe by a school mate wasnt aware he was behind me memorising my password. After losing 2m at the time i thought it was the end (spent a lot of time saving it up).
Thats how I learned to be more careful of my account . I have set my recovery questions and activated pin when i could. Later on i registered my email. I never click on phishing links/go on unknown websites enterings passwords etc/dont download unknown files. I have completed the security strong hold at barbarian village!
Yet I still got hacked? Is it safe to continue playing?
I used to wonder how players got hacked. Yea some gets hacked because of being careless but my case please enlighten me.
I have chatted with players in similar situation. Some cant be asked but to stop playing.
To anyone who can help look into this case please !

Fantasy games have always had a profound effect on me ever since I watched my first Lord of The Rings movie. My parents didn't allow me to watch it until I was 8 years old (2007), and when I finally got the opportunity my life was sold. Every month for 4 years straight I would watch the entire trilogy and I would go outside and play soldier of Osgiliath with my neighbors in the woods next to my house, fighting off hordes of imaginary orcs. I also dabbled in RuneScape at that age and I would massacre goblins in free to play pretending I was in Middle Earth. Even in early Minecraft I would try to rebuild structures from Middle Earth. Safe to say, Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings had not only claimed my life, but also my soul in every positive way.
And then, 2011, I saw an E3 video of Skyrim. It was my first ever demo video and I had no idea what E3 even was, but looking at dragonborn clad in the classic iron armor walking out in the open had me in awe. The graphics, dated as they might be currently, looked like the greatest I had seen at the time. I was so dumbstruck that I could barely hear Todd's commentary in the background. I remember him looking at the mountains in the distance (Throat of the world I believe), and saying: You can climb every mountain and every peak. Everything you see is reachable. This was the beginning of very, very fond memories.
On my way back from school I went to a toy store en route and picked up a copy. At least, that's what I tried to do, but alas, the clerk asked my age and my 12 year old ass tried lying that I was turning 18 in two months. The clerk immediately saw the lies through my braces and zit ridden face and was forced to decline me, as the game was 18+. At home I called my dad and asked if he could pick up a copy for me, which he gladly did, and when he came home he handed me the vacuum sealed plastic disc case. Unfortunately, my dad at the time was dabbling in the illegal world of "obtaining" movies online and before I could break the seal he said he could try "obtaining" it. He said, if he could download it you get the game for free and I bring it back to the store, if I can't download it you get the game for free. It's a win win. After 4 weeks he threw the towel in the ring as he did not manage to "obtain" the game, which was agonizing as all this time the copy was standing on the living room cupboard. I swear I could hear it talk to me at night; (releaaase meeeee).
Anyway, the moment I booted up the game, my best friend was with me and we played together until the section with the tower and the first dragon. This was the most impactful and most joyful video game experience I have ever had in my life. From that day on until the end of time (2017) I would play Skyrim. Some periods more, some periods less, but similar to my Lord of The Rings addiction I would play Skyrim more consistently than I would any other game. Funnily, in these years I think I only racked up a total of about 300 hours, which isn't that much at all. There was just something about the environment, the ambience, and the art style that has left such an everlasting mark on me. I live relatively north, and back in the early 2010s we would have snow every winter which only fueled my Skyrim fanaticism. Combine this with my house being close to the woods, and a wonderful dog who I could take to walk all the time, it felt like I was seeing Skyrim everywhere. It also helped greatly that al my high school friends played the game, so we talked about it every day. Learning secret quests or cave entrances from each other. Someone told me it's a good idea to go into a crypt west of solitude on my Level 9 with dwarven armor, only for me to be beaten to a pulp by a dragon priest in there.
Later on, I would listen to Skyrim ambience when trying to sleep as it made me feel so calm. Hell, I'm listening to Skyrim Night ambience as I'm writing this right now. Tracks like: Solitude, Kyne's Peace, Tundra, and of course Far Horizons, all made me feel incredible. I later found out that Jeremy Soule also wrote the OST for the Harry Potter 3 video game, which is also a childhood favorite. Skyrim music is just so good.
Nowadays, however, I don't feel the same bliss anymore. Whenever I listen to these tracks I feel melancholic more than anything else. When visiting the woods close to my childhood home (currently no longer mine, we moved out years ago), I feel somber. My dog has long since passed and I cannot take him to the woods anymore either. The Skyrim nostalgia that used to make me feel good and positive has made a 180 and instead now makes me feel gloomy, mournful, and incredibly melancholic. The sight of snow still cheers me up and brings me back happy memories from this time, but there has been so little snow here in the past few years that it's not reliable anymore. One of the few things that effectively represses my nostalgia is visiting my childhood forest with my friend (the same friend who I first played Skyrim with), but as repression comes and goes, it doesn't last very long. I can't believe it's already been 12 years since release, and every year feels like it's passing by faster.
While currently my formerly fond memories have become somber, and nostalgia is often guiding my life, no other game has had such a profound impact on me, be it positive or negative. I am now at an age where I'm trying to slowly phase all video games out of my life as to pursue more useful hobbies for my career, yet I am and forever will be grateful for the time I had with them. Most of all, Skyrim.

I know this is a wild request lol but I love MMO's I find WoW cozy just grinding low level quests to the point where I take on too many but enjoy just exploring... The dot hack games were fun, I play a lot of ESO and Guildwars 2, Palia, I've tried the FF MMO's. Fiesta online was/is my favorite if that says anything but its too dead now. I was obsessed with the idea of haven and hearth but the community kept killing me lol. Runescape, albion, black desert I've all tried too.
Skilling is probably a highlight for me
I was thinking book of travels but its still $35, ive been following it for a while but I'm a bit worried. Reign of Guilds looks cool but doesn't seem too solo friendly I played quite a bit of Project Gorgon and enjoyed that
I used to watch mmohuts videos for fun and download like 5 a day from onrpg, remotays voice echos in my head every night lol
This may just be me being too picky but interested in any suggestions!

It's simple but if you enjoy skilling in Runescape I'm certain you can find joy in this. It has a certain low-tech charm about it with the only animation being a loading bar and hand drawn looking art. I've only played it for a few months now but I think I'm going to stick with it.
It seems to get updated regularly and has a small dedicated playerbase. I highly recommend it!

SOLVED.
You need to deactivate "S mode" in the Microsoft store to download apps or programs not provided by Microsoft..
Update below
After deactivating safe mode which allowed me to actually start the launcher it kept freezing on the initial are you a robot screen so I googled this and it brought me to a separate Reddit thread with tons of people having the same issue.. the post was from over a year ago and there was an actual jagx moderator in the comments saying this is something they are looking into but he never responded with a way to fix this.. multiple people in the comments were saying switching to the correct time zone fixed it for them at which point I looked at the clock on my laptop which I had just set up 24 hours ago so I assumed the time would be correct but it was not it was over 24 hours fast.. reading 4/27/2024 9:45pm instead of the actual time and date 4/26/2024 7:00pm.. so I went into the time and date settings, prompting it to update the time and date automatically, then I hit the sync button exited out of that, tried the launcher again, and it booted up immediately. Posting ym findings for anyone who comes across these issues in the future.
Update#2
After thinking everything was solved I ran into another issue when hitting play game after being able to successfully download old school I kept getting an error message that VCOMP140.DLL was not found and that I would need to reinstall.. no idea what that was so I googled the error message.. it brought me to a post in the Microsoft forums unrelated to RuneScape and there was a link there bringing me to a Microsoft website where both downloads I needed were located they were both free and took about 30 seconds each.. definitely didn't think playing OSRS would be this dam complicated.. officially have it up and running now. Only took 3 hours. Now I just gotta get preservation and runelite
Original reason for posting below
I really don't know anything about computers so I kind of just Winged It and but a $300 laptop after Googling recommendations and browsing a few forums the only thing I saw was people saying pretty much any laptop within the last 10 years will play osrs and not to get a Chromebook. I bought this lenova IdeaPad 11
Every time I click the file for the jagx launcher, it tries opening the Microsoft store? Will this not run osrs?

Lately I've been on a download spree because I can't find a game I want to sink my teeth into. I'll play something for an evening, think it was alright, then immediately find something else to play the following night.
I can count the number of games I've completed on one hand, and the only games I manage to stick with are MMOs (runescape at 14 years and counting).
Does anyone else share my pain? I'm not sure if it's just a symptom of my depression or if I just haven't found the right game yet.
There's plenty of games I theoretically want to play, but I just can't stick them out for long enough.

Back in the day (2007ish), my best friend gave me one of his friend passes and his CDs to download WoW and while it was never my "it" game. I played through MoP and maybe some of WoD, then college/joining the real world made me give up WoW for awhile. Played Classic/TBC servers when they came out and my friend decided to come back to retail when Dragonflight released. I've always leveled to max for each expansion/server, but I never really find myself doing any of the "end" game. Chalk that up to basically playing the game solo/duo, but never really broke into the raiding scene outside of MoP. I've recently been playing a lot on a private server, AscensionWoW, and I am back to being hooked on the WoW train. I was debating coming back to retail, but not sure of the current state of the expansion and everyone's thoughts on the new upcoming expansion. For reference, I enjoy PvP (BGs) and the raiding that I did do in MoP/on the private server is fun. Thoughts on Season of Discovery as well? Is it going to be like Old School RuneScape is now, where it's "classic" but updating with content/QoL?

TLDR - Starting a HC Iron (IDM dying I just thought starting as a HC & seeing how long I can last would be fun ) and I was thinking of trying to stay level 3 with 10hp until getting all my skills up to 60ish before getting into the combat side of things. Since I'm new to osrs I was hoping the lovely people of this sub could give any tips or advice on how I can do this somewhat efficiently. Also just downloaded runelite so I am looking for plugin recommendations. Much love to everyone in the community and especially the OS team.
I started playing RS in 2009 in what was probably the hardest time in my life. I was a child going through a lot of family issues and RuneScape was the best way for me to get away from all that. I stuck with it on and off until three years ago. As I got older it became more on again off again style of playing however during covid I ended up reliving my childhood. Locked in my room and playing RS(3) all day. I made a new acc and maxed but as life returned to normal I then lost the free time and drive to continue. Around two years ago I found OSRS content creators on YT and fell in love with the passion and care that was brought into the game from the amazing OS team. Players like Settled , Mudkip, solomission , gunschilli, and EVscape were killing it with wonderful and fun video ideas and concepts that breathed a new passion for the game into me. Sadly I didn't really have the time or energy to get that ball rolling until now. I find myself with a lot of free time while trying to get a new job lined up so I thought better now then never. I was thinking of focusing my spare energy on recording clips and trying my hand at a videos though I doubt I would really do much on that front. All in all I am a man with too much free time looking to not go mad while trying to sort life out and hopefully enjoy RuneScape the way I did as a child again. Much love to everyone and I hope you have a wonderful week.
