Often a login with a Battle.net user name and password is required. There will be a communication between the client and the server that stores several data. From time to time Blizzard makes changes to the servers and to the client. For the players, this means that they have to patch the client to a newer version, which generally happens by means of the Launcher.

You can do the latter by right clicking on your shortcut to the updater and selecting properties then adding these to the end of the target box. So, for instance, if you want to change your game to start up with the villain skin and your target box currently contains: "C:\Games\City Of Heroes\CohStarter.exe" then you would change it to say: "C:\Games\City Of Heroes\CohStarter.exe" -cov. cohupdater.exe (no switches)

| abstract | - The Game Client is an open source RuneScape launcher built by Jagex. The client is designed to compensate for those who do not have Java installed or those who are having issues with Java, and is used by 75% of players. Since Jagex updated the client to its current state, they have released the source code to the public in accordance to the GPL version 2 license of OpenJDK. The project began on 20 January 2010 and was launched on 25 May 2010, originally only being available to Windows users. An unofficial GUI client was eventually developed to work with OS X by taking the jar file from the Windows client and wrapping it in the standard OS X Application Bundle. Jagex later placed its imprimatur on the unofficial OS X client by making it available in the download section of the Runescape website. As of 5 August 2015, the current release is version 1.2.7. Prior to 25 May 2010, the client was an Internet Explorer-based site-specific browser application that allowed a user to play RuneScape without using a conventional browser. However, players using higher-end computers may prefer to use the browser based version as the client has size and resolution limitations that the browser version does not. Using third-party software (such as SwiftKit) to play RuneScape does not violate the Rules of RuneScape, but is not recommended for use by Jagex. Version 1.0.0.5 was the last stable of this release client version by Jagex. The official client may be downloaded at the Ways to Play section of the RuneScape website.
