everytime i play runescape i start lagging after 10 mins and find myself totally unable to play unless i give my comp a break. i tried ending unneccesary processes.but that doesnt help either. i have plenty of space on my harddrive. is there a way i can play runescape with using less memory or find any other way to stop runescape from lagging?

clear out all ur temp files and delete files u don't need. try run rs under the original java selection under low/high detail. uninstall large files u don't need and run virus scan.

or it might just be ur comp/internet connection. get a better comp, - high RAM, good processor, good graphics card, braodband interent connection.

Try turning off your firewall, Your computer might not be giving enough access for RuneScape to run properly. It's a huge game, and needs a lot of space.

Also you could try and download Ccleaner which can fix your registry(be sure to make backups =O) and it can also clean out your browsing history and all of the tenporary files that you don't really need.

also if you have a very low speed internet connection it will lag too, but when you have a fast internet then try not to download(yes even your antivirus updates can make it lagg) anything while playing...

That's a possibility, depending on which firewall he's using.

The lagging can be from many things, Try virus scanning your computer, spyware and viruses can cause your computer to slow down. And don't listen to people saying turn off your firewall! Try getting a better internet connection, this might be the problem Try to get more ram, getting more ram will definitely help you for in game lag
