I never played much in high detail but if I recall correctly there's an option to turn sound and music down or off. Did they remove that or forget to put it into low detail?

The first time you load the new engine it will load rather fast, the second time you attempt to load it will proceed to die out on you.
Greatly reduced memory use in exchange for lag.
Vastly improved sound compatibility, including sound support in Firefox so now there's no escape from our cheap crappy sounds!
Better sound engine so you can here 'beep' and 'bloop' at the same time.
Improved chat filter. Which now blocks 100 more pointless words than the last!
Far better none-existent anti-macro technology that we hope will scare of those 50 woodcutting autoers behind varrok right now. BOO be scared we have improved anti macro tech11!!
Better compatibility with dual CPU computers because thousands of our players needed that one.
Better compatibility with firewalls to allow our spywere to get on through.
Better language support, including support for leet speak, noob and idiot talk.
But of course it mainly consists of underlying changes to let us do more exciting stuff in upcoming updates like lag some more, make more annoying sounds, kill off the loading screen twice as fast and so on.

yea, i knew it was edited :roll:

At least this'll help my computer a bit. Less memory use.

Hell ya...Runescape is for now virtually, macro free...I don't know what they did, but draynor forest is as clear as a bell as far as macroers are concerned. I'm sure they'll be back, but as of right now I'm as happy as a lark.

My friendslist has gone crazy people are somehow logged off and still talking to me.

I already found alternatives to the word filter too. And I now have no method to get out of having to hear the loading music except to use SS's mute button..which only mutes the music after it lags my music that's already playing.

They really need to iron out the bugs in this new game engine.

I don't even got any type of music in entire runescape. Not even during the log in. Lucky me?n I do got the sounds but I can switch that of.

4/5 Jagex finally did it and it prevented a lot of people from lagging and inscreased loading times, so I would say it is pretty good.

You guys, if you don't want music, go to your options menu and turn the music off. There, no more music

The game loads 5x faster for me. They still need to work out the chat system though.

They said there not going to update that. You just need to get used to it. You see your text at the exact time as other people do. It used to be that you saw right away your own text while seconds later the others did. Now they changed it so eveeyone sees it at the same time. Which is according to andrew better.
