![]() ![]() The simplest architecture for breaking up a single threaded game is to create two threads, one for the main game and other systems, and one for rendering the scene. However, both desktop and mobile CPUs have had multiple CPU cores for some time, making it possible to spread the load across several cores. This means that mobile CPUs cannot reach the high frequencies of a desktop CPU, making it hard to match the single-threaded performance. For long battery life and comfortable temperature, the device should use around 3-4W of power. A mobile device normally relies on a small battery, and needs to be comfortable to hold, restricting how hot it can get. A desktop PC can be plugged into the mains and draw a large amount of power, 500W plus for gaming PCs, and can use large fans to keep cool. The major difference between a desktop PC and a mobile device is the power requirements for each. It is not uncommon for PC games to rely on a single thread which handles the main game loop and also the rendering, but this can be a limiting factor for framerate on mobile the CPU was taking much longer to submit a frame than the GPU was taking to render it. This aligned with the work the RuneScape team were already doing to move to a separate thread for rendering. While we made a number of suggestions over the time we supported the game, the most significant was the recommendation to move rendering API calls onto a dedicated render thread (a.k.a deferred rendering). The Galaxy GameDev team were involved from an early stage in development, profiling the game and providing optimisation recommendations for the development team. We haven’t yet decided whether we’ll make the open test accessible to players without membership.RuneScape is a hugely popular MMO, now in its 20th year, which has recently been ported from desktop PC to mobile platforms.Players with access to the current closed test will continue to access Old School RuneScape.Currently, you cannot make payments (whether for membership or bonds) within the application or through your Google Play balance.Access is first-come-first-served, but we’ll be expanding the number of installs regularly, as and when we’re confident in the stability of the test. There is an install limit which caps the number of downloads.Players without a membership will be met with the message: The Old School RuneScape Android beta requires membership to play. Membership is required to be able to log in to Old School RuneScape.There are issues with the performance of Old School RuneScape on these devices. EXCEPT for: Google Pixel C, and Huawei P8 Lite.Only supported Android devices can download the application: all devices with Android Lollipop (5.0) or later.This version being so early, Jagex does have some important notes: You do need to be a member (paying customer) of Runescape and due to the “partially open Beta”, there are limited spots for this SO PLEASE HURRY! It is only Old School Runescape for now and it is only a partially open BETA, first in first served on the Google Play store, link below. It has been a very long time coming that Runescape came to mobile. Runescape mobile partial beta – For Android ONLY, at this stage! If this sounds like you, we are so happy for you! ![]() Me in 2018: Luckily, I switched to the Google Pixel 2 and Android so I can now play Runescape on my mobile. I wonder if I will ever be able to play Runescape on mobile. ![]() Me in 2008: I just got the first iPhone, the touch screen is awesome after having a flip phone forever. ![]()
