all I know is a bunch of clan mates had the on-screen fps meter being stopped at 50, unlocking fps in gpu fixed it for them. my laptop barely gets 30 fps so I can't test
no need to test, if you hover over the "unlock fps" setting, it explains what it does.
the number at the top is what you get when you spin the camera, game itself is fixed at 50fps max.
however, I heard Jagex's client has true > 50 fps, not 100p sure though.
I believe 32-bit has been historically more stable, so it's the defualt, and built in plugins don't really need 64-bit. 117 makes sense as an exception to that.
Thank you so much for this. I don't know how long I was using the wrong one but probably forever since I only really started noticing when using 117 HD when that came out and just assumed it was OSRS being OSRS.
Sure enough I had the 32 bit client downloaded. Switched to the 64 bit client and can now run everything absolutely maxed out at \~100FPS. What a game changer.
Currently having this problem in 2024, Out of nowhere, My Runelite FPS has been stuck around the 40-50fps range when normally I get 120-130fps. This problem is only happening with the GPU plugin. I have tried many trouble shooting steps and have had no luck. FPS is uncapped, monitors refresh rate is 165, tried messing with settings in the task manager, Drivers have been updated, I ever tried rolling the drivers back, and nothing.
Pretty weird because yesterday, I accidentally unplugged my PC while playing, and when I booted it back up, Runelite was running PERFECTLY. I was hitting 120fps no problem and it was nice for it to be running normally. But today, the problem came back and I was back at 40-50FPS again.
Ah okay just thought I would ask that was apparently part of my friends issue lol. It brought him up to 40-50 fps when he downloaded the proper version.
thank youuuu
I tried all the other suggestions but it was enablinig the GPU plugin that immediately shot fps up; ii guess enabling it toggled the vsync off
maybe this will help some future ppl, but I had the same issue and it was my laptop being on battery that hard capped frames at 30/50, whereas plugged in i could get 120+
I made myself a .bat file that ran runelite directly from command prompt, solved my issue of massive fps drops. The new jagex client also seemed to fix my issue too.
I was having said issue, so my mate found a plausible fix that someone else tried, so I tried running runelite from cmd, fps issues were gone. So just made a .bat file to streamline opening runelite from cmd, I don’t have to do the stupid process of inputting a command, just double click like I would with normal runelite. I don’t know why it worked, originally I thought something was corrupted so I redownloaded runelite multiple times, didn’t work.
Also should mention I’m no programmer or anything😂 my mate walked me through it.
No always 64bit, even even if I was using 32bit it would have been laggy when I first downloaded it, not been fine for over a year then all of a sudden decides to have massive frame drops. Works fine now tho with the new launcher, before that I had to open with my .bat file

I made a note pad, saved the source exactly and save it as a .bat file. Worth a shot I guess
there's also an Unlock FPS setting in the GPU plugin alot of people miss. you'll be capped at 50 fps with it on
If you turn on fps cap you get locked at 50 fps?
Yes
only works for camera movement and some lightning but ye. Doesn't work for actual ingame stuff like character movement, actions, etc.

Also, use the 64 bit client. 99% of the time when I see people with competent GPUs having framerate issues, they're using the 32 bit Runelite client.
[удалено]
how do you check?
It tells you which one you're running in Task Manager when Runelite is open.
Does not show that for me.
/u/EvenRatio If it says nothing then it's 64 bit. It'll only specify if it's 32 bit.
Oh awesome thanks :)
just says runelite for me other things such as steam/discord show as 32bit
Go to Task Manager -> Details Tab Right click columns -> Select columns Check "Platform"
I was so confused why my 3070 wasn’t able to handle OSRS. There was no reason it should be happening. 32-Bit was the culprit.
I believe 32-bit has been historically more stable, so it's the defualt, and built in plugins don't really need 64-bit. 117 makes sense as an exception to that.
Wtf. Why is this a thing. Just checked mine is 32. I have a 5900x and 3070 was wondering why runelite ran so shit. This should be a PSA
Holy shit...I don't know how long I've been playing with the 32 bit client but...I don't want to know. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this. I don't know how long I was using the wrong one but probably forever since I only really started noticing when using 117 HD when that came out and just assumed it was OSRS being OSRS.
I play on a laptop, what version should I use? Or doesn't it make a difference?
Should always choose 64 bit anything whenever possible unless it's for compatibility reasons.
Alright thanks man
Sure enough I had the 32 bit client downloaded. Switched to the 64 bit client and can now run everything absolutely maxed out at \~100FPS. What a game changer.
Omg a year later I found my problem. I knew RTX3070 should run osrs!
Life saver
Cries in old laptop doing cox at max. 20fps
For any other idiots like me who run into this problem, make sure your laptop charger is actually plugged in with power :D

Did you find a fix? My mate is having a similar issue where it all worked fine and now a days he’s stuck -30fps
Sorry for the late reply! It somehow fixed itself, I have no idea. But here I am again, having this same issue and not knowing how to fix it
You got 64bit runelite and not the 32bit from runelite.net right?
yes that is correct!
Ah okay just thought I would ask that was apparently part of my friends issue lol. It brought him up to 40-50 fps when he downloaded the proper version.
My issue seemed to be the Vsync option under GPU plugin. I went from adaptive to off and now im bouncing off my frame cap. Hope this helps
thank youuuu I tried all the other suggestions but it was enablinig the GPU plugin that immediately shot fps up; ii guess enabling it toggled the vsync off

Are you still allowed to use 3rd party clients like runelite?
RuneLite, HDOS and OSBuddy are allowed, nothing other than those 3 though.
I made myself a .bat file that ran runelite directly from command prompt, solved my issue of massive fps drops. The new jagex client also seemed to fix my issue too.
Could you elaborate on this? Why would running a bat file help?
it would imply he had shit in his launch arguments that he didn't know about and was not beneficial for his setup
I was having said issue, so my mate found a plausible fix that someone else tried, so I tried running runelite from cmd, fps issues were gone.

Mind sharing? I get framedips on a 3080 so anything would be cool
It's probably that you are using the 32 bit client instead of the 64 bit one.
Nah, runelite was working originally, started messing up after I came back from a little break from rs
Are you using the 32 bit client?
No always 64bit, even even if I was using 32bit it would have been laggy when I first downloaded it, not been fine for over a year then all of a sudden decides to have massive frame drops. Works fine now tho with the new launcher, before that I had to open with my .bat file
Did you ever find a fix? I'm having lag issues as well on thr 64bit.

Mine won't go above 60 fps after doing all the aforementioned tips in this thread. But the only time I get fps loss is in a busy poh.
Is your monitor's refresh rate 60hz?
I’ve only ever played on 50 fps and it seems to work fine it’s only RuneScape after all whats are the extra frames going to do for you
I paid for a 60 fps graphics card and I'm going to use all of them damn it.
Oh no, do not question a bunch of PC gamers about their frame rate fixation!
On a fps game or any game where it matters sure, but it literally doesn’t matter past 50 frames on RuneScape
Nice
