RuneScape Skillers Nightmare: Dead Clicks (see description!)

This is a video proof of 'dead clicks'.
First I didn't believe it myself, I thought that they were just normal missclicks, but with Camtasia Recorder, I set it to show mouseclicks visually and also make a sound effect after each click, you can clearly see how the game client doesn't recognise the clicks even though Windows and Camtasia does!

It's a bug in the system, which I believe have got worse after RuneTek 5 but which was there even before.

I normally get 1-2 dead clicks per load of superheating, so in this video you see a little more than average.

This bug interferes most click-intensive skills but is also noticeable when in PvP/PvE situation or when banking.

Please show your support and post if you've ever noticed this. You can also post on the official forums thread:

J-Mods tried to fix this issue but failed first time. I hope they're still trying...

UPDATE 2011: I think this issue is finally gone now.

I only ever get "Dead clicks" when i really use the mouse's initial left click - However as i do almost 95% of clicking with the "5" on the number pad i never usually get them so i think it has to do with the action between the mouse and the Runescape Interface, I have noticed a Lagg/Dead Click effect on adamant arrows however thats about the only thing which effects me, Hopefully something is actually done.

That's really odd. N5 clicking is recognised by Windows (and very likely by RS too) same as a mouse click. They're both virtually just as good.

Btw, I have noticed less dead clicks lately. Jagex did update inventory code just recently.

Good vid. btw what is the clicking noise in the background? It seems like it lines up with when you get a get an ore

[LostRituals]

It's a short audio clip which plays after each click. It comes a bit later due to lagg when recording but you can still hear it when dead click comes.

Looks alot like CPU lag. it happens sometimes when you use video recording software along with a demanding java/flash game.

[LostRituals]

Also, it's definitely within the Java / RS client, because Windows and Recording software both recognise clicks.

this looks like a time limit too ore heating....

@jgard1990 cool story bro

[jgard1990]

That kills me in pvp all the time, luckily it is only really on low level f2p pures that I pk lol

[LostRituals]

I think you didn't understand now... This happens even without recording when only playing RS and CPU usage is between 40% and 60%.

This could be system lagg which (which can be fixed with game engine update), but definitely not CPU lagg. It very likely has something to do with the tick intervals, and how the game engine ignores certain actions right at the tick times (idk?).

I have also got same results when playing with top of the line i7 rig near the Finland's server center. (southern)
