• https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.9_amd64.deb

• This extracts the necessary files out of the latest official runescape-launcher-amd64.deb package
• This currently expects the launcher package to be version 2.2.8, and may need a URL update for updated packages

• Last tested: 2020/12/01 on openSUSE Tumbleweed

• For some reason, Runescape's volume is lower than average
• The following commands boosts RS's volume past 100%
• This expects PulseAudio to be used

• If playing audio from another source, remove grep, and Properties will present Runescape for the correct sink

pactl list sink-inputs | grep '#'
