Old School RuneScape players are reporting heavy lag following today's update, although Jagex believes it's simply an issue with third-party clients. For ꦺnow, the  is to disable quest-related client features – or start playing on an official game client such as Steam.

A large portion of the OSRS community plays throug♌h a third-party client, as it gives you the ability to improve the game's graphics, offers improved stat tracking, and provides useful in-game indicators that aren't available on the client offered through Jagex. The same is true of the new Steam version, which features new achievements and other Steam-related improvements but is otherwise no different from downloading the vanilla client.

Old School RuneScap🧸e recently launched on Steam, and i🍷t sounds like that might be the best way to experience the nostalgic fun if third-party clients are on the fritz. Let's hope there's a good fix in the works, but for now, the quest-related workaround is a serviceable stopgap.
