Jacobias 2 Posted February 16, 2017 Smithers, try uninstalling ALL versions of java from your computer as well as deleting the client and cache. reinstall java JDK only from the java/oracle site, and after reinstalling try redownloading again. if you still get an error screenshot it and put it here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dillan 27 Posted February 17, 2017 I feel like your best bet as of right now is a system restore to a point where you could log onto runex without fault, or a complete system wipe depending on how bad youd like to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
