If you are an avid Runescape player, then you must have come across Runelite at some point. If you haven’t heard of it yet, worry not, this article will tell you exactly about it and will also discuss how to update RuneLite.
Before we dive into Runelite, let us take a look at what Runescape is. Well, it is an immensely popular MMORPG by Jagex that was launched back in 2001. The game is based on a fantasy world known as Gielinor where there are multiple kingdoms, cities and lots more.
The game holds Guinness World Records as the world’s largest and most updated free MMORPG. As of now, it has more than 200 million accounts created and updates are sent out every hour.
Coming to Runelite, it is a free and open-source client for Runescape. If you are wondering whether it is safe to use, then you can proceed to download it without any hesitation as Jagex, the developer of Runescape recognises the client.
How to update RuneLite
RuneLite has an auto-update feature where your game will start downloading the update files automatically once a new patch is available. You can always check the update status by visiting the official site of RuneLite. The status is updated every minute along with the package number.

Those who are having trouble with the update, can try signing out of the account and get back in after a couple of minutes. Sometimes the client fails to deliver the package and the error continues.
On top of that, if the first method didn’t work for you, you can proceed with the manual update method. According to this Reddit comment, deleting the %userprofile%/.runelite/cache and/or the entire .runelite folder can help you get regular updates automatically.
