i would, but unfortunately the login service is now blocking my country for reasons (probably the default of their infrastructure they didn't bother to change). i foolishly thought the problem was with my account being legacy, so i upgraded to a jagex account but now not only their launcher doesn't have native support for linux, I can't even launch the launcher because it fails to initialize without contacting the login service, so i can't even trick it to launch the game with runelite. it's bullshit.

to be clear i expect this bullshit from american live service games but:

1. jagex is based in UK not the US.
1. i couldn't find any trade clauses or mention of sanctions in jagex TOS.
1. i was able to play this game without issues as late as this year's pride event.

there was some login issues a few days ago maybe they accidentally blocked us when fixing it. i guess I'll complain about it in their discord but i don't expect anything out of it.

Dunno if it'll help with your login issues but I've been playing on linux with a jagex account via bolt

well it's definitely better than the ad hawk solution i was using but nope it doesn't help. this is a sanctions issue. it seems like all services related to jagex accounts are blocked but otherwise everything else like the game server themselves are not blocked. jagex is really shitty about customer service i don't even know who to complain to about this. it looks like it's been going on for some time i just haven't noticed because i wasn't playing the game.
