3-May-2010 - DirectX Support and Graphics Options
Today we’re pleased to announce the launch of an
update to our High Detail (HD) graphics mode to
incorporate DirectX rendering. We’ve also taken the
opportunity to completely overhaul our graphics options
system to make it much easier to use.
When you first load the game after this update, you
will be asked if you wish to automatically configure
your graphics options settings to best run on your
computer. We recommend that every player does this – you
may discover that RuneScape can run faster and look
better than you have previously experienced!
Whether or not you choose to run the automatic
configuration, the next time you go to change your
graphics settings, you will then find that you can
choose from a simplified range of graphics options: ‘High’,
‘Medium’, ‘Low’ or ‘Minimum’. If you wish to change any
of the in-depth settings, you can instead choose
‘Custom’ to set the game up exactly how you like, as
before.
The new DirectX mode will look identical to the
existing OpenGL HD mode; its introduction is to allow
more people to be able to use HD with fewer
compatibility problems. It will be selected
automatically for you (so long as it performs best!) if
you are running on Microsoft Windows with at least
version 9 of DirectX.

FAQ:
When will Paymo be available in my country?
Our partnership with Paymo is currently only for the
United States, UK and Canada, however, we are looking to
expand to more territories soon. To find out when you
can purchase RuneScape membership via Paymo in your
territory, keep an eye on the news.
Why does membership paid by SMS cost more than by
credit/debit card?
Our players are free to choose whichever payment option
represents the best value and convenience for them.
While credit/debit card is our recommended, best-value
option, some prefer the convenience of paying by mobile
phone. As the mobile operators charge a high fee for
paying in this way, we pass this ‘convenience cost’ on.
