Hi all,

Most bots which I try to run will ask me to enable direct input but as it states it may carry additional risk, I am a bit hesitant to use it.

Basically, it improves bot performance and reliability? How is this?

What does a bot look like with and without direct input? I've tried both and I can't really see much difference in exp rate per hour etc.

Is it recommended to use it? Am I missing out on not using it? Why does it possibly carry additional risk?

Curious to hear your thoughts and maybe a straight forward explanation from somebody more experienced in this?

Thank you !

In the most simple explanation: Direct input basically interacts with the item/object/clickable entity directly, without moving the mouse and clicking via the mouse.

Moving the mouse and clicking is more humanlike, but not as perfect as DI, given RuneMate is required to move your mouse across the game canvas, and click on an object (which could have moved on the game canvas, eg: a walking NPC during combat)

Direct Input is an experimental method of interaction which sends actions directly to the game client instead of using a simulation-mouse to point-and-click. This method of interaction is not new technology and has been used by several other bot clients out there and has not been proven to increase or decrease the frequency of bans.

To enable or disable this feature open the "Preferences" page in the RuneMate client by clicking "Edit -> Preferences" in the toolbar at the top and scroll to the bottom to view the "Advanced Features" section.

Just to add to the above, most bots don't actually require it, but if a bot can *potentially* use it we require them to declare it (which shows you the prompt). We require that prompt because it's possible that using it can create extra risk. There's no evidence to support the case that it increases risk for most tasks, but we're definitely aware of their increases efforts in detecting it's use in certain PVM situations (like prayer flicking).
