| Jun 19 at 15:12 | comment | added | John Doe | @Zibelas SteamOS 3.0 is based on Arch Linux and, in theory, can behave like a normal Arch Linux installation (in addition to all the SteamOS stuff) but I don't have a Steam Deck or a machine to sacrifice to try installing it ATM | |
| Jun 19 at 14:39 | comment | added | Zibelas | Disregarding if they are official or not, the main question was asking about how to run it fully offline. Are any of those github servers able to run on SteamOS? | |

@Voile yes, but not officially. ... None of these methods use Jagex accounts or servers I think it's pretty clear that they are unofficial private servers but I do agree that the answer is more like a "no, but here are some similar alternatives to runescape" rather than "yes but with some caveats"

| Jun 19 at 9:34 | comment | added | user318092 | Also, none of these are actual OSRS, hence this is not an answer. No real player looking for this question would treat "just play a private server" as a valid answer, as your game progression cannot be shared between both servers (there isn't a "transfer save" function, obviously), not to mention the great diverge of gameplay and content between official server and these private servers. This answer is effectively suggesting playing different, similar games as an alternative, which is even worse than Chthonic One's answer. | |
| Jun 19 at 9:32 | comment | added | user318092 | @JacobisonCodidact Where is the word "unofficial remake" mentioned in the answer? Only "remake" is mentioned, and OSRS is originally a "remake" of the 2007 Runescape source code too, so this does not say anything about the unofficial, private owned nature of these servers. Mentioning private servers without clearly stating they're unofficial is a legal landmine because users are bound to be confused about their status and relationship with Jagex and their product. | |
| Jun 19 at 8:20 | comment | added | Jacob is on Codidact | @Voile these are all clearly marked as unofficial remakes at the very beginning of the answer. | |
| Jun 19 at 6:34 | comment | added | user318092 | -1. This is a bad faith answer. And this doesn't even technically answer the question either, since these are all non-official, private servers, not "remakes". They are definitely not OSRS in any capacity. May I know why you self-answered listed a bunch of private servers without clearly marking them as such? No actual runescape players would even consider playing a private server in place of the official server. | |

| Jun 18 at 20:54 | comment | added | Zibelas | @MooingDuck why do you ask me? The answer points out where to find servers, my comment was pointing out, that if the server can't run on the steam deck directly, the game won't be able to run offline. | |
| Jun 18 at 19:32 | comment | added | Mooing Duck | @Zibelas: Can the server be run on the steamdeck? | |
| Jun 18 at 17:46 | comment | added | Zibelas | While this will allow you to play runescape offline, can it run just in the Steam Deck or does your Steam Deck needs to connect to your locally running server (and therefore it is not really offline fully since you still need a connection)? | |
