When I try to start Runescape I get an error message that says: CLassNotFoundException and lists Rs2Applet.class. How do I fix this so I can play?

    Was any effort made to attempt to resolve this on your own before asking here?

  • @fbueckert Um yeah. I wouldn't be asking random questions just for the fun of it.

    @YoungGuilo Except that when I did a google search for "runescape classnotfoundexception" the very first result was Jagex's support page detailing your exact problem and a solution. We ask users to show at least a little effort to solve a problem on their own before asking a question.

    @Mugen The answer already did so, so I didn't bother. Although I did consider linking to lmgtfy.

Your firewall blocks Java from downloading the RuneScape applet. Try configuring the firewall to allow Java. As some firewalls cause problems specifically with Java 7, downgrading to Java 6 may help.

Disable any proxies or proxy add ons you might have.Had the same issue and disabling the data compression proxy addon in chrome did the trick.
