Has anyone had any success with HTML5 on CrOS?
I have an Acer C7 and HTML5 client always crashes a few seconds after the world loads in. Are there any Chrome flags I should turn on? I also tried running it with Crouton and Ubuntu but the Java client doesn't seem to play with with the Chroot.
Also Jagex has some problems with their CORS. You have to pay attention to your CORS, boys!
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://world100.runescape.com/clienterror.ws?xxxxx. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://secure.runescape.com' is therefore not allowed access.

I'm using an Ubuntu-based distro right now, and from my experience it doesn't look like you can play runescape on linux as a program. (You can technically run it through Wine, but IMHO it actually performs worse than just playing through a browser). Just play through your browser.
There is a plug-in called Iced Tea specifically for Java on Ubuntu, it should ask for permission to load after you click 'play now' on the home page. This might be your problem since it looks like there is something blocking access... I haven't tried it on Chrome specifically, but I play rs on Chromium every day and can't imagine they're much different in that capacity.
BTW, what is Crouton, your UI?
Crouton is a chroot toolkit for ChromeOS. ChromeOS doesn't have Java installed at all. I tried chroot to Ubuntu and using IcedTea, but the game instantly crashes to gray screen when I hit Auto Setup.
