Mobile Log Out Timer

[hallow siren]

Can we please change the log out timer while the app is inactive so i can check the wiki while im questing? Its ridiculous i cant pull up the guide quickly or send a text message without being constantly logged out.

That is an issue with the app not being allowed to run in the background because of power saving or other features. Try making sure the app is allowed to run freely in the background.

Its not, ive already fixed all the settings and allow it to run freely.

I'm not sure what setting it would be on a phone but if the phone doesn't have the capabilities to run osrs in the background the client will likely close

But yeah I guess if it really is something that can be looked into why not yeah?

I believe this was patched a few days ago w/ the recent mobile patches. Make sure your mobile app is the most up to date from your devices app store.

(could have been a patch for a relevant but different issue, but good to update nonetheless)

Out of curiosity did you go into your settings - screen time - content & privacy restrictions - allowed apps and features and see if the app is allowed for background app activities and make sure data saver mode and/or low power mode(battery saver) is off as this turns off background activity all together.. separate thing from background app refresh stuff I believe but connected

Yes everything is toggled to allow osrs app to run while in the background. No restrictions, no permission disallowances. Like i said, my app/phone is properly set up to allow background usage. What happens is i switch over to lets say chrome for quest guide, i pop back in and im at the loading page for osrs it says no response from server please try a different world.

Ive checked everything i can on my end pixel 8 btw.

App version is most up to date as well.

Would be nice to increase the timer regardless for afk stuff like stars or crabs.

I love when people don't listen to what you say, you tell them you already checked, and they keep going oh no you didn't.

[hallow siren]

To be fair, i dont expect anyone to actually know. Hoping a dev sees this and relays up cuz its truly a pain in the ass.

Ill be WC and get a text and client gets fucked unless i log out and close the client to answer a text.

My phone does that crap all the time, hope they figure it out

Developers do have some control on this but it’s RAM based. Jagex would need to disable the 3D render when leaving the app to clear the bulk of RAM. This means the game would do the ~5 second initialization every app switch. The better solution would be to add live recording at all times in low resolution server side. This would stream to your device only when switching out of the app in the background. Then if that’s made to play in full screen it will turn on PIP not only allowing it to run in the background, but get a live feed of the game while browsing the other app. You’re welcome Jagex I take payment in bonds.
