The one by nmlynch94 seems to use a Flatpak through Wine. This is a problem because I’m running out of space on my system partition, and it won’t let me install the actual game on another drive.
Another solution is to use the Steam version which runs via Proton, but the problem there is that one locks to one character. I want the option to play multiple, which the Jagex launcher and Bolt does.
Clarification for non-players: I want the RS3 client, not OldSchool or RuneLite. OSRS and RuneLite are apparently easier to get working :/
It’s a weird-ass issue where Nvidia+Wayland prevents me from playing RuneScape. The only thing that works is switching to X11.
AFAIK, XFCE is X11 by default
For now. They’re experimenting with labwc, a Wayland compositor. It’s pretty solid already despite being very early on.
I honestly don’t know enough to know why it works :/ My choices on Garuda Linux right now are Plasma with Wayland or Plasma with X11.
I am not good at computer lol
Is it like a browser game?
If not, are you using the native build or a wine version?
It needs a client. How the client works, I am not sure. This is the client I run. 😅

A developer told me on their Discord that it’s a Nvidia+Wayland issue they can not fix.
Switching to a Plasma+X11 session it works flawlessly.
Are you on a laptop?
Also, it seems like Jagex recommends launching it through this:

With the official launcher (though Proton) as an option: https://github.com/TormStorm/jagex-launcher-linux
Not using a laptop, no.
The solution from TormStorm is to use either AdamCake’s Bolt (which I’m doing now), or https://github.com/nmlynch94/com.jagexlauncher.JagexLauncher.
