SwiftKit keeps crashing when RuneScape is loaded or being loaded. There is an issue with Java!

If you're having any issue with Java, with it being RuneScape will not load or it crashes, this should fix it:

Step 1:
1. Click the Start button, go to your Control Panel, and go to Add/Remove Programs.
2. Uninstall all instances of Java
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Java and delete all the folders
4. Reboot your computer
5. Download and install the latest version of Java; http://www.java.com/winoffline_installer/

Step 2:

1. From the Start menu click Settings > Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, choose the Java option. This should open a window entitled Java Control Panel.
3. Under Java Applet Runtime Settings click the view button.
4. In the box entitled Java Runtime Parameters enter -Xmx256M.
5. Press OK to close the windows you opened.
6. Restart your computer to let the changes take effect. 

If this doesn't work, make sure you've followed the steps correctly.

Hello. This helped, and fixed my problem. Thanks :D If I could also take this chance to tell you to make the instructions more in depth. Some steps with the steps are very vague, and you have to have some knowledge (Ex. C program filesjava) you should write that out as C:/program files/java Other than that, worked great :D

Ive tried all of the crash tips to no avail. Screen freezes in mid stride and I have to unplug and reboot my pc.


Ryan posted...

Alright, as soon as I get to the part where you delete everything in the Java folder, it says "denied". The file name in it is 'jre6' but it will not let me delete it. Anyone know what I can do to delete it?


Angus posted...

I went back over every step at least 4 times, and it still crashes often. I need help, I love using sk but I'm too afraid to pk with it (pking is all I do atm) incase it crashes in a fight.
