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 :/
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.
