Today i just solved the big mystery of why OpenGL don't work correctly
in Linux and possibly other UNIX systems too. The issue was that the "java" binary was not properly linked to its own libraries. The solution was to just add the java lib folder to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH before launching java, this fix is now added to all the preferedjava settings option in the Runescape Unix Client! soo here is the changelog! #### Version 2.9 #### * Made a fix for Software and OpenGL display modes in Java7 and OpenJDK7 No settings needed! This is entirely automatic! * Made the runescape script follow symlinks to the binary file in order to add the java library path to fix OpenGL issues when using Java7/OpenJDK7 #### Version 2.8 ~ R2#update-runescape-client #### * Made the update-runescape-client ASK if it is ok to download and compile p7zip-full if it is not detected, this was done by request from one of the players who were concerned that it happened without permission. I guess i focused so much on compability that i forgot my manners. I am sorry that it happened, hope you all can forgive me :) * update-runescape-client script now gives more info if the 7z binary is not found, this will make it easier to know what packages are missing! :) - HikariKnight

HI, 8/12/2012 02:34:40 pm
I havent been able to make opengl or software mode work on solaris myself, the rsu script was made as a linux port of the windows port of the game client.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm always amazed at how non-cross platform java turns out to be at times, especially on *this* OS, where java at least should be fairly polished considering the heritage. 8/13/2012 12:34:01 am
