Important! Before attempting the steps below, make sure you have installed the latest OpenOSRS Launcher! If you are unsure, simply reinstall the launcher.

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• All Platforms
• Unofficial Distributions

You can create desktop shortcut with "--mode=OFF" (without quotes) at the end of the target box. (Video below)

If you are on Windows using the official installer,copy the text below, save as a .bat file and run, amending the .

start "" "<FILEDIR>\OpenOSRS.jar" --mode=OFF
exit

Run cmd.exe (Windows Key + R) and paste this into the command prompt:

java -jar <FILEDIR>\OpenOSRS.jar --mode=OFF

Run Terminal.app and paste this into the command prompt:

/Applications/RuneLite.app/Contents/MacOS/RuneLite --mode=OFF

If you're using another distribution and downloaded the RuneLite.AppImage file, you can add an entry to your launcher. Put this into ~/.local/share/applications/runelite.desktop.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Exec=./path/to/RuneLite.AppImage --mode=OFF
Name=RuneLite
Comment=RuneLite launcher

Replace path/to/RuneLite.AppImage with wherever you downloaded the file.

Additionally you can run the following command to automatically add the shortcut, although remember to edit the path like previously mentioned.

printf '[Desktop Entry]\nEncoding=UTF-8\nType=Application\nExec=./path/to/RuneLite.AppImage --mode=OFF\nName=RuneLite\nComment=RuneLite launcher' >> ~/.local/share/applications/runelite.desktop

Open terminal and type:

nano /home/user/Desktop/RuneLite.sh

Replace user with your username, in my case I replaced user with zetix

This should open up an empty terminal for the RuneLite.sh file we are going to create

In the terminal, type:

#!/bin/sh
./path/to/RuneLite.AppImage --mode=OFF

Press ctrl+x to exit, y if asked to save.

Replace /path/to/OpenOSRS.jar with the directory location your OpenOSRS.jar is located. In my case, OpenOSRS.jar was located in my Documents folder.

If RuneLite.sh is opening in Text Editor, Open Files > Preferences > Behavior >

Files is your file manager

Under Executable Text Files, Select Run them to run all .sh files, or Ask what to do if you want to choose to run or view all .sh files.

If you downloaded the .jar version of the launcher, run this:

java -jar Location-of-OpenOSRS.jar --mode=OFF

This information is likely outdated, because the client was renamed to OpenOSRS.

If you downloaded the client via the runeliteplus-launcher package in Arch User Repository (AUR) execute this command:

`sudo sed -i 's/"$@"/--mode=OFF \0/g' $(which runeliteplus-launcher)`

Open Terminal and go to /var/lib/flatpak/app/net.runelite.RuneLite/current/active/files/bin

Use you favorite code editor (Vim, Nano etc.) and edit the file with SUDO sudo vi runelite

Add --mode=OFF at the end of second line and save it, result should look like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar /app/share/OpenOSRS.jar --mode=OFF
