Aw, hopefully it becomes easier in the future! I know they have a linux client, but I am on windows so didn't know it could be tricky.
Yeah, the issue is they have a Linux game client, but they don't have a Linux version of their launcher... so you have to use Wine/Proton/some kind of compatibility layer (and you have to do some work to get the files you need to make that happen), but it's even more convoluted than that. Just to give you an idea... https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/11q8mly/how_to_run_jagex_launcher_on_steam_decklinux/
I'm shocked it took them this long to implement it. I hope eventually you could have multiple characters on one account. I would like to play an iron man but don't want to pay for a second subscription.
There is 0 chance of that happening. They're already getting one subscription per account, why would they give that up?
This was huge QOL when I got it
and you don't log out when you step out of the room anymore.. game is saved
Just wish theyβd add HDOS as well
It's a nice feature. Also, when the jagex acct servers go down again like they have somewhat recently, you can still open runelite like normal to sign in.
