Jagex Launcher & Jagex Accounts

The Kraken Launcher is compatible with the Jagex accounts as well as the Jagex launcher. In order to use the Kraken Launcher with Jagex accounts follow this guide:

• For Windows, run RuneLite (configure) from the start menu. Otherwise, pass --configure to the launcher (i.e. /Applications/RuneLite.app/Contents/MacOS/RuneLite --configure on Mac).
• In the Client arguments input box add --insecure-write-credentials
• Click Save
• Launch RuneLite normally via the Jagex launcher. RuneLite will write your launcher credentials to .runelite/credentials.properties.
• On your next launch it will use the saved credentials allowing you to use your Jagex account with Kraken plugins.

If you want to use a non-jagex account with Kraken you can delete the credentials.properties file to return your Kraken Client back to normal.
If for any reason you need to invalidate the credentials, you can use the "End sessions" button under account settings on runescape.com.

If you would like to run RuneLite like normal without any Kraken plugins loading:

• Click the windows start menu
• Type "RuneLite (Configure)" and hit enter
• In the dialogue box click the "RuneLite mode" checkbox

Your next client run will not load any Kraken plugins and leave RuneLite untouched.
