Weird Java error -Need help!

[AlphaAce1]

One day my bots worked fine, the next day this error popped up everytime I start it.
I will open the client and then it will appear in red at the bottom. The RS login screen does not load.

Anyone have any idea what it means?


Thanks in advanced!

Yeah, your bot is either outdated or has just stopped working. The most basic solution to this problem would be to simply re-download the client. Make sure you keep notes of your autos so you don't lose them, and after you redownload it, if it still doesn't work, come back here and ask for a java coder's help.

It is outdated I also get that error but can use scripts etc.

Pretty sure it works regardless.
