The error happens regularly, and users are constantly confused by it as proven by the shoutbox and numerous posts in client support. Change the message to something users can understand to eliminate the plague of people asking about it.

"Failed to bind to Game Client. Restart OSRS or RS3 client and re-launch bot to fix."

Users see the big words and get scared.

Doesn't fix it tho. That'd be misleading.

It has every time I've encountered the issue.

Has never worked for me.
There isn't a single fix (nor the reason is known) for it so adding such a message would be misleading information.

What about:

"Failed to bind to Game Client. Restart OSRS or RS3 client and re-launch bot to fix, if issue persists, post in the Client & Site Support section on forums"

OR:

"Failed to bind to Game Client. Restart OSRS or RS3 client and re-launch bot to fix, if issue persists, click here"

With the "click here" being hyperlinked to a new sticky thread telling people all of the information (ie: a template) they need to post in a new thread in the Client & Site Support section.
