Playing on RuneLite and lagging intermittently. Will randomly disconnect and be hit with this message.

Honestly not sure, there's a support article though https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000611897-Malformed-login-packet
If that doesn't work you could try the steps here https://jgx.game/ConnectHelp-

Still receiving the same error after refreshing my browser.
Can you run the default test and screenshot the results?
hidden bobcat
Uninstalled the game, jagex launcher, and runelite. Gonna see if that helps
Yeah I'll do that real quick

Ok. Those are good steps too. After we see the results, have you also restarted your PC?

Try changing your default browser, then changing it back again
I'm finding this tidbit on Reddit and people are reporting that it fixed their issue
hidden bobcat
Yeah I saw that too. I don't think I did it right the first time so I've just tried it again.
I'll hop on the game and play a bit to see if it worked
next meadow
yeah try it out!

I think it's because the world I chose was a UK based server and not US east
My ping was 84ms compared to 4ms now

Depending on connection, your packet could've been getting errors if perhaps your ethernet cord also needs to be changed for example, or your connection isn't fully supported well.
There's also attempts that it could even be your LAN port as well. There's different cases when it comes to this error but noteablely -
Changing default browsers-
Router issues/Faulty connections-
Different worlds shouldn't necessarily cause a Malformed Login Packet error, but if you're not getting them for a while and they appear again - you may need to trouble some cleans ups with your Cache, or see anything with your connection if you're not using an ethernet cord/Router check up.

Thanks for the insight. Seems like the problem has been fixed for now. I am using an ethernet cord and it has worked fine for other games

Alrighty. Best of luck. Feel free to come back and update if anything occurs.
