Is RuneScape down right now? Live status and outage tracker

RuneScape outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 80 user reports came in for RuneScape. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

The busiest 15-minute window had 8 reports, about 9 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix RuneScape not working

RuneScape is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload and restart

   Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.

2. Try another connection

   Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not RuneScape.

3. Update the app

   Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.

While RuneScape is down: what to use instead

• Old School RuneScape Play the separate old-school version if you want a similar quest and skilling loop and its servers are reachable.
• Account website Use the site in a browser for account and billing pages when the client or mobile app will not load; password and payment changes can still go through there.
• World of Warcraft Try it if you want another subscription online RPG with questing and group content while the game is unavailable.
• Final Fantasy XIV Use it when you want a different online RPG with story quests and group play and you do not mind starting a new character.

Problems at the same time as RuneScape

Since 27 October, RuneScape's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
