Hi,
I was attempting a barrows run earlier and my game consistently crashes when attempting to fight the brothers. The game becomes laggy when the brother is spawned, and becomes completely unresponsive after one or two hits.
Is there any known issue regarding this? I asked some other people and they were able to do Barrows without any trouble. I am using the legacy launcher, in case this is related to the launcher/client somehow.
Thanks and regards.

No, I am not, unless there is a background process that still runs while the game is playing.

Re: Game crashes at barrows
Try SD, IIRC HD has some issues with barrows. Maybe worth a shot with saradomin and the experimental client option too

For anyone looking at this later: Changing to SD did in fact fix the issue, without needing a launcher change. Thanks Ryan!

Re: Game crashes at barrows
Ceikry had stated a few years back when I first reached barrows that the client indeed had a memleak in HD, but was authentic to real 2009 rs, and that it wasn't being fixed, iirc.
Don't quote me word for word @Ceikry. XD

Re: Game crashes at barrows
It's a known client bug that used to be all over our FAQs, but since no one had said anything about it recently I just neglected to port it over to the forum's FAQ.

Re: Game crashes at barrows
yeah it's a two part issue: Brothers spawning = lag spike
Exiting the tomb: really bad lagspike and often full client crash.
SD doesn't appear to have the issue, but you can't benefit from the extended view range (help figure out path) like you can in high detail.
