Tiny Client Issue Fix (Windows 10)

[PK Guy]

As technology is constantly improving, we have to remember we are playing a game based off OLDSCHOOL Runescape (2007). Even Roat Pkz, whilst getting content updates, is many years old underneath. Runescape was originally designed to be able to run on practically any computer with ease, the small size of "fixed screen" mode reflects the display technology at the time, some people were still on 800x600 resolution when RS2 was initially released.

On today's high DPI screens, some displays do not show Java applets at their intended size relative to the rest of the screen real estate. There might be multiple ways to fix this, here is one that worked for me, make a comment below if you experience the issue and it didn't help. We will try figure it out.

Step 1. Ensure you are using the latest version of Java

Updating to the newest version alone could fix the problem, since Oracle are aware of it and have tried sorting it themselves to some extent. This is also important for security!

Step 2. Edit the Properties of Java

Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where Java is installed, usually in Program Files:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin\Java.exe

(Note: your path might be slightly different)

Follow the instructions shown:

(Optional: repeat this step with a file called "javaw.exe" in the same folder as "java.exe" since some apps use that instead of).

3. Re-launch Roat Pkz client to check

Open the client again to see if this worked for you. Hopefully you don't have to suffer a mini-client; or use a cheap hax of changing your screen resolution for the duration of your playtime, and then changing it back to do everything else.

This isn't working for me.  I've got the most recent version of Java and I've utilized the path that `Configure Java` told me to change the properties of both `java.exe` and `javaw.exe`.  The unfortunate solution I've been using is the "magnifier" application on Windows.  Which simply zooms into my screen.
