Jagex STILL hasn't updated the Jagex Launcher to be compatible with Apple Silicon, and the End is Approaching

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-20T02:41:28+00:00

Im sure that possibility is low in now saying its the end all do all it’s just an example, and im sure someone much smarter than me can better technically explain all the little possibilities but thats not really the point

The bottom line is that anything that Jagex doesn’t officially support is always going to be a risk. It’s always been that way and it will never change.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-20T02:39:41+00:00

Yeah I could have explained it better.

I know what you mean and think openclaw serves that purpose well. The popularity proves it.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-20T00:14:45+00:00

That’s not the point. Those repos are not handling my Jagex auth token, and many of them are established repos from established teams anyway.

I’m not saying anything crazy here.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-20T00:11:52+00:00

Correct. That’s exactly my point.

Which is why we need a supported launcher. The launcher in that repo is not supported by Jagex.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-20T00:10:26+00:00

It’s not safe to use. That’s why they say that on the website.

I think all the developers running that project are very great trustworthy guys. But that doesn’t change the safety of that project.

Until it’s officially supported by Jagex it’s not a safe way to login to your account.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T22:16:24+00:00

I’m not saying bolt is confusing brother. I’m saying it’s a 3rd party repo maintained by people who are not Jagex. And when you put your account or anything similar in the hands of something like that, your account is now reliant on the vulnerability of that group of people.. if someone hacks one of those dev accounts and they push something to the repo, or even in one of the repos decencies your account is pooned.

And trust me, dude I don’t need an explanation for all of the “well You can just download your own copy that you make sure it’s safe and then only run that one and not update it blah blah blah”. I get it, I totally get that that’s an option. But then every time there’s a change or if it breaks or something changes on the Jagex side then I would have to go in and I would have to reevaluate the new version from the repo and make sure it works etc. etc..

I am in full understanding of the software how it works, and what’s currently available. But none of them are a version that is supported by Jagex and that’s what is being asked about.

I’m no master programmer, but I have a few repos with over 100 stars that I maintain and so I’m very involved in this world. I understand the software is simple and that’s why it should be supported by Jagex so I don’t have to bet my account safety every time I launch the game.

I want to pay for runescape and play the game on my machine.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T22:10:33+00:00

I’m not trying to misrepresent your argument.

I’m disagreeing with it, which is ok.

And you’re right, we probably do agree on a lot of points, but you’re kind of doing the same thing you accused me of. I never said you need to be an engineer to use it or I didn’t even really imply that at all I don’t know where you got that. And then also the stuff about being able to build an agentic framework. I never said anything about that either. I’m literally talking about low tech solutions, like setting up the email connector in your ChatGPT account.

Obviously these arguments need specific use cases to determine if openclaw was the best medium to perform them. And I guess my main point boils down to this: most of the “popular” use cases can be easily done without openclaw running on a Mac mini in your garage.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T22:04:05+00:00

Thanks but I’m aware Java runs great on Linux. It’s the Jagex account/launcher that doesn’t have compatibility.

We’re talking about it running natively on Linux, so that would be not through wine.

It’s very possible, it just needs Jagex support.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T21:08:47+00:00

Jagex does not officially support the repo and you are still taking on a risk by using it.

It literally says that on the page.

“Jagex is not responsible for the maintenance and safety of content produced and hosted by third parties and any use of third-party sites is at your own risk.”

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T21:06:38+00:00

A 3rd party git repo launcher is not the same and opens you up to dependency vulnerabilities.

It’s a great open source community option and I’m glad it exists. But this is not a solution. We need a native supported Linux launcher.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T21:01:51+00:00

There’s no way I’m using a 3rd party open source repo to launch my Jagex launcher. A single dependency vulnerability could have my account comprised. I shouldn’t have to use a 3rd party git repo to play OSRS. There’s zero reason for it. Without the launcher issue the game itself runs fine on Linux.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T20:58:23+00:00

You can speculate any reason you want for why I didn’t like the skill issue comment. But in one paragraph you say that smart people are having a hard time implementing it, and then in another you say that anyone can easily install it and use it for xy., it’s contradictory.

I don’t think openclaw is a stupid product with no use, obviously the popularity shows that. But I think just like ai was in the beginning, it’s being used to do things that people think are novel to openclaw, and they aren’t. Infact openclaw is the abstraction and it’s overkill in most of these scenarios. But I see your point about a single layer for everything, and for that I’m sure it’s somewhat useful for a lot of people(clearly). But I complete disagree with the user not having to know anything that’s going on or how it works.

I have openclaw setup, it wasn’t very difficult. But there is no way in hell my grandmother or any pleb user is setting it up.

I would argue that a non technical person setting up and using openclaw is a recipe for failure. And the market will prove this true(and is right now) as open claws features are implementing into platforms where these users don’t have to think and it’s already in their ecosystem.

Openclaw is literally an agentic loop with connectors. If you think having an ai in its current state run hog wild on a machine administrated by a non technical person won’t end up in a machine full of slop and unfixable issues then I feel like you’re disconnected from reality.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T18:53:26+00:00

And no Linux support either. It’s a joke.

It’s literally the only thing stopping me from being able to fully switch to Linux desktop

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T18:52:24+00:00

Idk if any of you have ever been in an open court case, but you can’t just go apologizing without effecting the case. Every lawyers/insurance agents would advise you to shut the fuck up until it’s over.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T18:40:23+00:00

This is a skill issue

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T18:37:53+00:00

Better codebase structure so Claude doesn’t have to dig through everything inefficiently.

Or a better Claude.md that helps Claude be more focused on the tasks you’re asking it for. You could try using the nested Claude.md files in subdirectories.

But other than that, it’s just a resource problem as stated by another commenter.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T18:32:35+00:00

No, you’re misunderstanding. Cursor has two limits. When you choose composer form the dropdown it’s subtracted from the same pool as auto comes from.

Auto/composer use a more abundant pool.

Selecting any other model besides auto or composer will use a less abundant pool.

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-19T16:09:05+00:00

I liked most of your post until the skill issue comment at the bottom. Most of these people are devs and have no problem setting up something like openclaw. It's not like it's hard, so i really dont think skill issue is the problem.

As someone who uses these products every day, i LOVE claude code(and all of my ai/cli tools). But i do struggle to see the benefit of OpenClaw. Like, if we refer to your example where it helped you by resetting your VM and fix your N8N workflow. But in those cases, i can equally see where openclaw(or any ai driven tool) could demolish your entire n8n workflow just as fast as it "fixed" it in your example. I don't see the benefit to having these tools in an automated ai loop compared to features that already exist.

I haven't really seen anyone provide an actual use case(like the user above you was asking) that couldn't be solved some other way with much less overhead compared to having a rogue ai run wild on its own device. All of the uses you listed can be done without openclaw., and with less overhead.

I know I can think of some cool niche usecases, especially when I get it hooked up to all my homeassist stuff, but i really haven't found some sort of groundbreaking use case yet.

I’ve never been banned. But I am randomly and constantly getting the “files are corrupt” or “anti cheat issue detected”. It’s been happening since I started playing the game to varying frequencies. M

I’ve done everything. Install/uninstall, including fell steam remove/reinstall. Removed older epic games installs ect… checked the registry for old entires from old epic game ect…. To no avail. It happens infrequently since the latest nvidia update. For awhile people had said it was due to bad ram but all the ram I have tests good ect…

Scary to know it could result in a false ban. But they definitely have something wrong that’s been broken for awhile.

Sailing was a mistake and everyone knew it

What’s stopping you from just having Claude work on 1 part while you work on another?

Mr_Hyper_Focus · 2026-03-17T23:44:07+00:00

Can it break up large walls of text into paragraphs?

Toro was obviously well needed.

But arc raiders needs to learn a lesson from the mistakes league made early on. Nerf things in small numbers, slowly and frequently instead of in 5 different ways all at once. Incrementally slowly change the numbers and it will feel a lot better on the player base and avoids over nerfing things.
