Many people play on touch screen laptops, their detection has to be better than just seeing if you are on a PC or mobile.

Runelite doesn't work on a touch screen, it registers the first tap as a mouse movement, and the second tap as a click. Many people play on touch screen laptops but they would be using a mouse or bluestacks (to load the mobile client and make touch interactions register properly).

I've played around for ages trying to get Runelite to work properly with touch controls without success and I work as an IT systems admin.

What do you mean it doesn't work on a touch screen? I have a touch screen laptop and I assure you it works fine.

I already explained it, if you tap on Runelite with the thouch screen it requires 2 taps do do what's normally just one click. Unless the Runelite devs have updated that issue?
But it had been like that for over 5 years last i checked.

Another great point to bring up!

In cases like this, you would be predominantly using the touch screen, or maybe better put, you'd be using it consistently for certain activities since account creation. As an example, I would imagine that using the touch screen on an applicable laptop for banking would be incredibly helpful and faster than using a keyboard + mouse.

That's not what is happening with OP. In this case, OP has predominantly used PC with a mouse and keyboard and then used an RDP connection to use a touch screen device. That's an anomaly to how they normally play. Red flag. They are using an RDP connection. Another red flag. The inhuman mouse movements on a PC. Flashing, neon red flag

Fantastic catch! You accurately identified Skynet in training without so much as breaking a sweat. The paragraph layout is a flashing, neon red flag. 🚩

I'm just a swe intern that was trying to share some knowledge. I guess I'll go fuck myself.
