RuneScape 3 launches on July 22nd, bringing with it a brand new interface system, audio system and music, upgraded camera, seasonal highscores, and the Battle for Lumbridge update. The HTML5, however, will remain in beta for several more months to continue working out kinks and to get the system ready for a wider audience. It will still be possible to play the live game through the HTML client until that time, however it will be considered in beta and issues may lead to potential crashes and item loss if not careful
The HTML5 beta is best played in Google Chrome and you’ll need to play on a reasonably new, high-spec computer. If you’re experiencing low frame-rate and unreliable performance, update your graphics drivers. We can’t overstate the importance of this – HTML5 is at the cutting edge of web technology, and graphics card manufacturers have only recently begun optimising their drivers for it.
Jagex recommends that players stick with the Java version of the game for now, as well as testing the HTML5 client to offer feedback in improvements and bugs. Alternatively you can check out our gameplay video of the New Interface beta from earlier today (7/16).
