| Thursday, June 25th | 10:30am UTC | We’ll be rebooting game worlds today to resolve issues causing bonds to be affected by the GE tax and some menu entries to be missing. You’ll see a 45-minute countdown timer beforehand. We’ll keep you informed on reimbursement plans for affected players as soon as we have more information to share. |
Minimal to none. | Fixed at 10:30 AM UTC. - Update on 14:50 UTC: We have now reimbursed any tax applied to bond for affected players. Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. |
From today, Wednesday June 24th, Old School RuneScape will no longer be available on devices running 32 bit versions of the Android operating system, as client version 239 and onwards do not support 32 bit Android. Therefore, existing installs on these devices will no longer be able to update or access the game.
Find out more information on this change, here.
Furthermore, we've got a few improvements and fixes going out once the update is released:
- Cutscenes will now appear smoother.
- Player characters will now correctly face an object when interacting with it. For example, facing a tree while chopping it.
- The hitboxes of Huasca and Goutweed in regular herb patches now match those of other herbs. Similarly, the hitbox of Blindweed during the Rum Deal quest has been adjusted to match the standard herb hitbox.
In addition, we've got a few Z-buffer related fixes:
- Clipping issues were resolved for several trapdoors, ladders and stairs across Gielinor.
- The cabbage patch near Melzar's Maze no longer clips into the ground.
- A visual gap at a boulder entrance has been fixed.
There's also a bug we are working on and want to bring to your attention:
- Ancient Sceptres with Trouver protection are being lost to deaths in the Wilderness. We're working on a fix for this issue in the coming weeks, and we will be restoring the item back to any players who have lost an Ancient Sceptre as a result of this issue. Please note, we will not be restoring items back to any accounts who are found to abuse this system. Until then, be extra careful bringing your Ancient Sceptre into PvP!

Since February both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape have been running an additional maintenance on Tuesdays as part of our ongoing work to improve the infrastructure and core experience of our games, these maintenance will continue but we are adding in an additional small step.
Alongside taking down the worlds for 20-30 mins for this maintenance we will be keeping a handful of worlds offline for an additional 30 mins.
This should have minimal impact on regular playing as you will still be able to access a plethora of worlds once the maintenance is complete but you may notice a few worlds missing from the world list.
In this post you'll be able to find live game status updates and other key information regarding Old School RuneScape.
