Instant server disconnection
For the last few hours, every time I try to log in, the login takes a long time and when I do finally get logged in, I immediately get the message "You were disconnected from the server" and then it's back to the login screen. What gives? I don't wanna miss too much of the current Leagues season.

That tends to happen when your internet connection is poor

I tried unplugging and replugging my modem to refresh my connection, no dice. What's weird is that it seems to be only the Steam client, as my regular client that I used before I got OSRS on Steam seems to work just fine. So I can play the game, just not on Steam, which is very odd to me.
Been having similar issues. Instant disconnects on my main account from both Steam client and OSRS Jagex launcher, but not on mobile. My alt can connect to the Jagex launcher though.
this has been happening to me the last day or two...
You got the beta version of the Afk timer

Unless you pay for tier five membership you'll just instantly get logged out all the time

I'm gonna assume you're just trolling, in which case take it somewhere else. This thread is for people seeking a serious solution to this problem.

Oh I'm quite aware of what's going on, but it's not relevant to the problem I and other users are experiencing right now. The only one shooting off his mouth here is you; seriously, if you have nothing helpful to say just go away. There are plenty of other threads for folks who are salty about Jagex's questionable business decisions.

To get the discussion of this problem back on track, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, verifying the local game files, logging in to different worlds, and resetting my internet connection, and nothing has fixed the problem. My non-Steam OSRS client seems to work okay though. It feels like the problem is on Steam's end of things, based on that. Also, it was working fine a month ago, and then it just suddenly wasn't. Anybody else tried these things, or have any other suggestions?

Try clearing steam cache for runescape.

Id also check windows firewall/av are not blocking traffic for osclient(steam) version of the game.
Tried clearing steam cache. No dice, still doesn't work. I pulled up my firewall settings and it doesn't seem to be blocking any apps I have, although I might not know exactly what to look for. I use Norton as my main antivirus protection, if that matters.
