RuneScape Uncover the Secrets of Amberfell Patch Notes (1st June 2026)

A new members quest arrives alongside sweeping Dungeoneering XP changes and hotfixes for the graphical issues that followed last week's engine update.

The biggest headline in today's Uncover the Secrets of Amberfell update is a brand-new members quest. Secrets of Amberfell picks up after Hearts of Sanguine and sends you to a flood-cut village gone silent, with skill requirements sitting at 35 Herblore, 30 Construction, 32 Hunter, and 28 Slayer. New story content in RuneScape always gets me, and this one has a decent hook.

Dungeoneering gets a serious XP rebalance. Solo floor XP buffs have been dramatically increased, with large floors jumping from a 20% bonus to 300%, and the Floor XP Boost buff doubles from 10% to 25% per stack. Dual-wield ruinous weapons now cost one warped stone instead of two, and players who already bought both will be refunded a stone on next login. That's the kind of retroactive fix that doesn't always happen, so credit to Jagex for including it.

On the technical side, Jagex is still working through graphical issues introduced by last week's engine update. AMD users on recent drivers are seeing missing textures, Mac users with Intel integrated GPUs have similar problems, and frame stuttering on region transitions remains under investigation with no ETA. Rolling back your AMD drivers is the current workaround. Here's everything that changed.

Last week we launched a significant update to our engine in preparation to support the upcoming Player Avatar launch on June 8th, as part of this update our team has been monitoring reports of graphical issues and we have seen three particular areas of issues crop up.

  • AMD Graphic Cards on the latest set of drivers have been having rendering issues causing things like missing textures/blank areas. This issue arose in the last few weeks with the launch of the latest AMD drivers and our update last Monday has just brought this into frame for more players.
    • This issue is currently resolved by rolling back your graphic drivers to a more stable previous patch.
    • We are currently investigating this from our side to reduce future complications but whenever there is a new set of graphic drivers there is always the potential for a mismatch.
  • We have also recieved reports from MAC OS users of similar missing texture and graphical issues occurring. Our team has been diving into these reports all week and the common element is the use of Intel integrated GPU and the team is working on a fix
  • Other users have reported stuttering or framerates hitching especially when transitioning to regions such as going from the overworld to a cave system and this is further noticeable for users who hide the loading screens. We currently investigating a solution to this issue but there is not a current ETA on a release.

We will continue to monitor this update but if you have been running into any graphical issues please contiunue to report them via the in game report feature as this helps us gather up your computer specs which help immensely with these investigations.

  • We will be sharing June's Month Ahead later today be on the lookout for that!
  • We are running a Quarterly Survey currently! You can find it in the lobby, head on over when you next login and help us shape the future of RuneScape!
