** Description changed:

  Players of Runescape, an online game, can now only play in a 'crippled'
  mode after upgrading to Jaunty.
  
  This has been reported on Runescape Forums by players who use Ubuntu &
  Kubuntu Jaunty.
  
  The bug doesn't seem to be hardware related, it appears to be something
  which has appeared after an install or upgrade to Jaunty.
  
  No players are reporting that Jaunty is working OK in this respect for
  them.
  
  Some players have reported that removing Jaunty and reinstalling
  Intrepid solves the problem for them.
  
  The high definition mode in Runescape, which was fully functional in
  Intrepid, no longer functions in Jaunty, it simply produces a browser
  crash.
  
  Although I have seen this bug reported as an OpenGL bug, I do not have
  the expertise to confirm that.
  
  I would be pleased to collaborate in finding a speedy solution to this
  problem, which has been around for at least a month now.
  
  further details:
  
  Browser: firefox 3.0 (though this bug has been reported by players using other browsers) 
  Plugin: Sun Java 6 update 13 (this bug has been reported for other versions of Sun Java
  CPU: AMD Athlon dual core (this bug has also been reported for Intel processors)
  GPU: nVidia GForce 9500 GT (this bug has been reported for other GPU's)
  
  On starting the free web browser game, Runescape, at
  http://www.runescape.com,  it is impossible to enable High Definition
  mode. Any attempt to enable this mode crashes the browser.  This bug has
  occurred after an upgrade to Jaunty from Intrepid.
  
  There was no bug before the upgrade.
  
  This bug severely cripples gameplay.
+ 
+ 
+ *addition*
+ 
+ Jagex's Runescape issued a patch that resolved this problem. The problem
+ appears to have been with the game's Java.
+ 
+ I do not know how to close a bug.
+ 
+ So I announce that it is closed here.
