Thank you for the reply! I can load the game through the official Jagex game client. I am using anti-virus and tried your suggestion, however the same error message was displayed.
First instance
Second instance
The error seems to be a failure 'to connect at stage one', any ideas what this stage is and how it might be remedied? See also additional text in the first instance which I suppose also should not be present.
Thanks Veg.
I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle, the client has downloaded as a simply 'RuneMate' (i.e. no .jar). Subsequent steps not working.... any help anyone? :oops:
