Whenyou login to the Jagex Launcher WEBSITE, Click on characters, have you Imported your character? because if you haven't thats why you can login, If you simply merged your email, then you can still login fine, but once you import your character you cant login anymore without the launcher

just install, if it doesn't work right off the bat, use the OSRS cleaner tool after uninstalling launcher and OSRS and do complete removal. *Have had accounts locked after using this because it thinks its a brand new computer -As in you have to unlock, email verification and change password, just a warning.-*


I don't think you've properly merged your osrs and Jagex Launcher account, because if you've imported your character from OSRS to the Jagex Launcher website, It gives you a warning telling you that you can't use the old RS client, or anything else, you have to use the Jagex Launcher


Hopefully a fix for this soon - would love to us this but Jagex launcher is now stopping it. Progress is slow when having to work and can't auto kill chickens on a fresh account... Any help appreciated


I thought I'd just add to this thread for anyone asking, when I was logging in using my username, I got told I had to use the Jagex launcher. The minute I used my email address instead, OSBot worked and logged in. Thought this may be helpful for anyone that was googling like myself.


Same problem. Soon as i have changed to Jagex launcher as log in with all the accounts on one email if you open osbot on mirror it force closes jagex launcher.

Stealth does not work as jagex launcher is the only log in possible.


Download DB_Launcher_Tool.zip here -launcher-tool/releases/tag/1.0 , open db-launcher-tool with Java 11 (may have to right click and select), put in directory of your DB Launcher i.e. , click replace launcher, and then launch through jagex launcher. Otherwise maybe try the CLI option.


Hi, im struggling with the same thing.

I have followed the steps you instructed but wont let me open the DB launcher tool it says "a java exception has occured" whatever that means lol... Please help


Hi, I followed your guide step by step but I'm kinda confused with that part ''... and then launch through jagex launcher.'' Should the DBI launcher have jagex launcher option or am I missing something? Cannot get it to work ?


To use the launcher, the player must first log in with their RuneScape account or a Jagex Account. The account information is passed onto the opened game so that they don't need to re-enter their credentials once they open the client.


Hi everyone, I'm Mod Shadow and I'm the Platform Architect for our Publishing Platform! Ever felt curious about the more technical aspects behind the Jagex Launcher? Well today I can reveal the secrets about how it evolved over time into what you see currently!


Fast forward to mid-2017, and we had gathered a small team to begin building it. We had lofty ideas of players being able to maintain a longer-lived session of days and weeks, rather than the mere hours we had at the time, so people could quickly get into the games they love without needing to re-enter their username and password. Sound familiar?


However, RuneScape has also been around for a good long while, and it already had a very well-established way of logging users in, with certain user experience expectations built in too. So, we had to ease our way into utilising a new mechanism carefully. OAuth2 comes with two types of tokens; an Access Token, which is used to authorise network calls, and a Refresh Token, which is used to get a new Access Token when the existing one expires. It's these tokens that give us the ability to log you back into the game, even if you haven't played for days on mobile. In order to maintain our existing user experience at the time, we utilised OAuth2's extension specification and hooked in our existing login processes to generate these tokens. This was our first step towards a new way of logging in. We introduced this feature as part of the mobile beta and subsequent launch of Old School on mobile in 2018.


At this point we were just barely starting to use OAuth2 mechanisms to log people into the game. We knew that we wanted to utilise the standard OAuth2 flows to log people in without having to use the extension we were currently using. Utilising one of the standard flows, i.e., authorization_code, had several benefits:


However, this presented both a technical and user experience challenge. OAuth2 expects to be handled by a web browser, something that can render HTML, CSS, JavaScript, store cookies and deal with HTTP responses, these aren't things that are performed directly by a game client.




We focused on mobile first because we had already made progress utilising OAuth2 tokens with success on that platform, so it made sense to enhance the flow there before trying to recreate it anywhere else. Both Android and iOS have very good support for this kind of flow, specifically providing features to enable OAuth2 via specialised browser windows (Trusted Web Activity and ASWebAuthenticationSession respectively) that could be launched from phone apps.




We were in a good place with Old School on mobile: we had the ability to tweak and add further protections to login, we had those all-important remembered logins and all the other benefits I mentioned earlier, and when it came to releasing RuneScape on mobile in 2021 it was very straight forward to integrate it with the OAuth2 flow. But how would we get these same benefits on desktop?


Unlike Android and iOS, Windows does not have a specialised browser window that can be used in the same seamless fashion. Instead, a user can have multiple browsers which do not have first party support from the operating system. So, we experimented with using the user's default browser, in a similar way to how we handle Apple and Google logins on desktop.


This was closer to what we wanted. We're using the OAuth2 authorization_code flow as intended now. However, we've also now got a horrible system dialog that we can't style or change in any way! Plus, if the user selects no, then nothing ever happens, and they're forced to start again.


Also, what happens if the game is already open? Should we start a new instance or pass the authorisation to the existing instance? RuneScape already has a way of opening the game from the browser, of course. But the whole ethos of RuneScape's client is built around running as many instances as you want, rather than keeping a handler open to just one, making this a tricky technical challenge.


3. Embedding a browser in each client would prevent us from utilising any kind of single sign-on mechanisms across each game, as they'll not share any storage for tokens returned. In an ideal world if you log in to RuneScape, you're authenticated for Old School and any other game we publish, such as Melvor Idle.


It became clear that while it may give a better user experience than the default browser approach we considered previously, bundling a browser directly into a game wasn't feasible long term. We needed to revisit an old idea...


I hope this gives you an insight into some of our developmental process when it came to creating a launcher, and the challenges we needed to overcome in delivering it to you. We made sure that your account's security was our top priority every step along the way, as well as making sure that every interaction you have with our games is as seamless as it can be without compromising that security.


JagexLauncher.exe is an executable file associated with the Jagex Launcher software. This software is developed by Jagex, a British video game developer and publisher known for creating the popular MMORPG, RuneScape. The file is typically located in the directory: C:\Users\USERNAME\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\bin.


The Jagex Launcher is primarily used to launch and manage Jagex games, including OldSchool RuneScape. It provides a convenient way for players to access and play the game without needing to go through a web browser. The launcher also automatically updates the game, ensuring players always have the latest version.


If you are a player of OldSchool RuneScape or any other Jagex games, the JagexLauncher.exe is necessary for the game to run properly. It is a crucial component of the game software and removing it would prevent the game from launching.


If you do not play any Jagex games or have stopped playing, you may choose to remove it to free up disk space. If you suspect the file to be a virus or malware (due to unusual system behavior or alerts from your antivirus software), it would be advisable to remove it and perform a system scan. Always ensure to download game files from official sources to avoid malicious software.


Description: JagexLauncher.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file JagexLauncher.exe is located in a subfolder of the user's profile folder (mostly C:\Users\USERNAME\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\bin\).Known file sizes on Windows 10/11/7 are 14,336 bytes (66% of all occurrences) or 13,179,660 bytes.

The application has no file description. It is not a Windows core file. You can uninstall this program in the Control Panel.Therefore the technical security rating is 55% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
