Stuck on "Starting 3d engine"? Fix here

[Voltimolt]

Recently Ryan, Kevin, Mute, me and some other players have encountered this error.

I would like to thank Mute because he is one of the people to find a fix, It was indeed caused by a 64-bit java problem.
Computers running 64-bit Java are likely targeted for this Jagex error "error_game_dll".
Luckily I took the time to find out why it wasn't working given information from Mute.

The 64-bit Java program is only a 64-bit program and cannot be executed as a 32-bit. Therefore, we need to head over to the official java website and download what I recommend "Java SDK 7" here.

Make sure you agreed to terms and conditions and select the 32-BIT program!

Edit your batch file and replace with this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar -Xmx256M java\WorldScape_508_HD_Client.jar
pause

Run the client, and 508 HD client should be fixed and you will not be stuck on "Starting 3d engine".

Good Guide,

I'm sure that this will be rather helpful for most java 64-bit users. Well done. :)

I see no 32-bit :O

Ahh, I forgot to mention:

64-bit: x64
32-bit: x86

Look for the download ending with x86.

Heres a direct link of 32-bit Java here

Thanks. Hopefully this will work. Can't wait to play on HD. :)

Theres no need to CD.

it's simply executing that file with the commandline to run worldscape_508_HD_client.jar

[Voltimolt]

did you put quotation mark between the path? like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"

[Voltimolt]

Oops. Fixed. sorry about that...

I think it should be alright now.

Going to Sticky this, cause it does work :D
