Believe it or not, I play Runescape. I find the game to be interesting.

Out of my curiosity, I found that there is a way to play the game in an executable file. However, there was no Linux download for this type of file, so I installed it with Wine, and it seemed to work fine.

The game loads up perfectly fine, until it finds updates. When it finds updates, it stops at exactly 92% every time I try running it and I must force quit the application. Anyone else have this issue?

Try following this (yes, its got some age to it; but the game hasn't changed much since then) tutorial, Runescape is of the same caliber as Minecraft; which both use Java JRE as a game engine. Ubuntu comes with a default install of Java, but you often need to fine-tune the settings in Wine or download 3rd party repositories, to get them to work.
