Everything you need to know about JaGex cache files!



Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read this tutorial.

Browsig the forums, I was surpised to encounter a great amount of people unaware of the presence of uid.dat and random.dat on their computers.

This tutorial will cover basic knowledge about RuneScape cache files, also known as the UID.dat and the Random.dat files stored on your computer by JaGex at the startup of the RuneScape client.

If you’ve never heard about this before, the first natural question to pop up in your head is "What are these files?"
These files are files that are stored on your computer when you load the RuneScape client. As far as I know, no one except JaGex employees have knowledge of what theese files contain. But, I did some research on the .dat file extension. From what I managed to read, the file extension is used by some programs to mark that certain files with that extension simply contain data. Confused? Lets take matters into our own hands (:p) and check it out by ourselves;

Here is what you need to do:
http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/735c043f5f.png
Open the start menu -> My computer -> Search
Click http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/318f479adf.png All files and folders -> Type in UID and click search.
Wait a couple minutes until the search is complete or until you have a lot of results.
Normally, you would recognize JaGex cache files by the .uid/.dat extensions (and most usually also their “unrecognizable” icons that looks like http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/03e0b78d4d.png.), folder locations* – and the names of these files, usually “random” or “uid”.

* - List over known uid.dat/random.dat file locations:

C:\Windows\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat
C:\Windows\.file_store_32\random.dat
C:\Windows\.file_store_32\uid.dat
C:\Windows\uid.dat
C:\Windows\random.dat
C:\uid.dat
C:\random.dat
C:\Documents and settings\uid.dat
C:\Documents and settings\random.dat
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uid.dat
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\random.dat
C:\Administrator\random.dat
C:\Administrator\uid.dat
C:\RSCache\uid.dat
C:\RSCache\random.dat


Here is a screenshot of a typical result of the search:
http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f1d84bc386.png

In the red box are two of the files we are looking for.
Ignore the other files, they are included in the picture just to set examples for what results to ignore.
So, you say to yourself (or most likely you don't, but lets say you do) "Is there a way to open '.dat' files?"
Yes. Do like so:

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/bcc18f6f84.png
Right-click on the .uid file, and choose "Open with.."
(Norwegian, but you still get the point, don't you?)
You will (in most cases) get a pop-up dialog, press "Open in.." or "Open with.."

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a8ec3162ea.png
Now you get a (second) dialog about that there is no software on your computer
for that type of files. Click the lowest option ("Choose the program from a list")
and click "OK".

http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/a783d62b32.png
If the checkbox next to "1" is checked, uncheck it. Then, if 'http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/67ccb2e14b.png NotePad is the hightlighted program next to "2", click "OK". If its not, scroll down the list until you find 'http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/67ccb2e14b.png Notepad and click that icon, then click "OK".

Wow, surprise, the file is.. not empty?!


Not really... think Jagex did an update on them? Now they contain random ASCII characters.

(removed a few, incase the mean something...)
Now, this is beginning to get kind of creepy.

I don't know what theese files are used for. JaGex may just use them for just checking wether they exist or not to give them the info they need. The charachters in the UID file may be encrypted and actually mean something. Notice that if you use FireFox, the cahce files go to your FireFox folder.
And if you use Internet Explorer, they go to the IE folder. But what if you use S.M.A.R.T? (I seriously don't know where they are stored if so.)
That may be the kind of information JaGex wants. Maybe theese files are filled with data every time you play RS, then completely emptied
at logout? Maybe the purpose of these is so JaGex simply can do a "If FileExists(...)" (in Java) at the startup of the RS client? Maybe every .dat file stored to your computer has its purpose? (For JaGex.) No one knows. But, theese files obviously have a use, and as I've allways said - the small things add up. You should by now know that the recent update checks certain
JaGex folders (listed above). I would strongly advice against installing this and any other software from JaGex. To be on the safe side.

Now, the final point: Deleting these files!
One may think that deleting is a simple job. It is. Kind of. It requires strategy. A thumb rule is:

Delete your RS cache files every time you switch between using an account you auto on and an account you don't want to loose.

Also, deleting your Cache files should not be done too often either. The great WT-Fakawi did an experiment with theese. As far as I remember, he tried deleting his cache files between each logout when he autoed with his guild miners. This resulted in ALL of his guild miner accounts being banned - and, in my opinion, prooving that these .dat files do have their purpose for JaGex.

With this thread, I have attached a small .rar, which I made. They contain two files, both are .bat files. One of them is an IP adress renewer which I cannot guarantee that works because I have a static IP adress. And, the second file is the uid/random.dat deleter. All that is needed to delete the cache files is to run the .bat file attached! In addition to deleting the cache files when you switch between autoing and valuable accounts, this should be done once every two weeks in my opinion. This is that which has worked for me, and that is how often I delete them. I am not responsible for any bans due to extensivly repeated deleting of the JaGex cache files, although this should prevent bans in stead of causing them.

And, one more thing: You should know that logging in with an unsigned client will will prevent cache files to be saved to your computer. Here is how to do it:

Nice.

[bullzeye95]

Why did you put "Do NOT send in your specs"? There's absolutely no evidence at all that they do anything bad with it...

Other than that, nice.

[King of the Nites]

@ Bullzeye-Timer makes a good point in this thread http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30033?p=397369 Jagex adds something about they can search for anything that violates Terms of service which... guess what is violating it... US!

[Infidel00]

I was honestly just playing on a legit character, and used your uid program right before I logged on to it. After chopping trees for a few I received; the old man, drunken dwarf, genie and then the sandwich lady within minutes. Thing is this account is one day old and has never been autoed on.
So I said, 'I'll post on the forums to see if I can find any info on this'. But low and behold :D
Another thing I noticed was after using this program about one week ago and then hopping on one of my mains to play legit, I was running the fight pit/caves back and forth for about 3 hours while talking to my girlfriend and then bam! I kept getting randoms as well.
Just stating some prior experience that may be of assistance.

Nice guide though!

[revoz]

hmmph. It didn't occur to me that they would put files on your computer, it seems their server side protection is strong enough.

[lee]

these files are so stupid!

thanks for this guide i will have a look myself, the files are really bugging me, i keep worrying about them. but in my opinion, this is what JaGeX wants, they want people to see the files and not auto because of the worries about them, i could be wrong but this is my thoughts.
__________________________________________________ __________________________

he is right in saying not to send in your specs, there have been many rumours of it finding programs that are against the rules, e.g SCAR, EliteSwitch.......

i wouldnt risk it if i were you

[lee]

just checked, and my random.dat fo
lder in notepad has the following in: îÁh‚XÝ3¨fÁ-‰ÔcPÉ4WK

[ShowerThoughts]

Good Job

[Infidel00]

I am curious though if anyone has had any retributions after removing these files similar to my experience of seemingly receiving 'more' randoms than normal.

Anyone else?

[Zezi]

Very usefull, i didn't know about these untill recently =x
XD

When using moparscape, silab, it also creates a UID... Perhaps we should ask her what she uses it for on her silab client? =x

[Nava2]

The .dat files are actually used while you play. If you try and delete them WHILE having RS open; they say 'File in use by another program. Access Denied' or something along those lines. I don't advise trying to delete them while RS is open.

Nava2

[chrisn2323]

they are for loading the client faster etc.

use unsigned if you don't want jagex to access your comp.

random.dat can tie your accounts together and get them banned.

[Infidel00]

Ah so that's what random.dat does? Shows all the characters that logged onto Runescape from your ip?
Makes sense how an army can get banned then.

Thanks again for this guide Evil. Educating the ignorant, like myself.:D

[Harry]

Wow, surprise, the file is empty!

Edit your one and add this to it.
Its much more better and is faster, also has a backup just in case you want them back
you can just click backup and it will do it, Soz for being a pain in the ass :S

Great turotial, i knew there was some files JaGex used to look my pc for autos but never knew the name, you saved me a big time searching for them thanks :):)

[Kalle]

Cant find em :o

[PvH]

really great guide
i already knew this..
but is good to warn people:)
rep++

EDIT:
sorry for the double post which was there
I removed the 2nd one
my pc lagged:(

[EvilChicken!]

omg sum1 actualy rep+'d meh! :p

Thanks a lot for the reputation.
I updated the cache files deleter and the IP renewer.
(Learned a lil' bit of batch language :) Link (http://www.ss64.com/nt/) to the webside if you want to learn too.)
Huge thanks to Vikram60, you've recieved credits in the new deleter.

[PvH]

evilchicken!, read my post lol...
if i tell i rep.. then i rep for sure lol:p >_<
XD
it is a great tut;)

[warxperiment]

interesting...does deleting the files effect what goes on in the game?
chrisn2323 is right after loading the client the first time the second time it loads much faster. Could someone explain what ASCII characters are to me plz...

[DGKbattle]

that's helpful thanks i lost my level 5 account by not doing this :(

[DGKbattle]

if i hadn't seen this i probably would have lost my level 50 account so thanks evil chicken

[PhantomCode]

Thank you VERY MUCH I was so confused about all this!
Very good guide indeed.

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!!!:) :) :) ;)

[2g00d4h00]

My personal thought is the randoms are embedded into JaGex's system files, not into your computer. Yeah yeah yeah it might put some files on your computer that tends to audit gameplay that you can try and audit yourself, but personaly could it be embedded in the system core of JaGex is the question.

[Pred]

are they allowed to do that?

[Salesman 01]

Thanks, I didn't know about this until reading this thread.

[chrisn2323]

Not really... think Jagex did an update on them? Now they contain random ASCII characters.
(removed a few, incase the mean something...)
Lol no. Of course they aren't going to let you read it. You can't just open it in notepad. They make the file look like that,

[d0pe b0i]

10/10! very informative. I already knew these things, but it would have been very helpful to learn about them this way.

[NY Nick]

Fuck, i sent in my specs

Well,i regret that..

I'm pretty sure all those .idx files are for the 3d models (things like the map and objects) that get cached when you use signed to make it load faster. If you use unsigned, every time you get to a loading screen you have to download those files and put them in your RAM, which makes your compure lag more.

If you're interested Silabsoft has a 3D Model Viewer (http://silab3d.com/) for the RS cache.

Oh, and the UID is just a number for tracking you and your accounts. I'm assuming it's so they can IP-ban more effectively something like a packet bot ever comes back up again. I personally delete mine each time I load SMART :)

[prostaker]

hmm, if i have 2 diff comps, and use only 1 to auto, and not log on my legit user on there, do you think that the legit user will still be at risk? o.0

Don't delete your cache files every time, WT-Fakawi got his addy mining army banned like that.

Yes.

Yes.

[prostaker]

how can it be at risk, when i dont log on with my legit user on "auto-comp?" i dont understand it :S

eddit// i mean if I do get banned, why cant i just say that it was my brother who autoed not me, or my neighbour with who i share router with :S

eddit2:// no mather realy, because jagex banning system is auto, so is the appeal system, ( i got it confirmed by a mod :D )

wow i never thought about that... very helpful

[Wizzy]

Very nice guide, though I already knew that most online games do this :P

[MadClabXIII]

I reckon it's something to do with Java being encrypted, considering when you select the unsigned version of Java, it doesn't copy the cache files. Who knows? Jagex, like the government keep many secrets.

[hampe-92]

nice tut... but i don't think this works the same way on vista tho... i serched for UID but i didn't found anything... but i did found the random.dat file in this path C:\.jagex_cache_32... there were also a map called runescape there but in that folder there where just a file called "game_unpacker.dat" and 29 files called "main_file_cache" with diffrent extensions like .dat2, .idx1, .idx2 and so on... thx anyway :)

[insanomano]

hmmmmm well i dont auto a ton i just like learning to program but i have autoed a fair bit and i usually do it on my main :D:D i have never done anything with the files and my account has never even been banned lol

When I go to the actual jagex cache, I have .dat files with usernames of accounts ive logged in on :SSS

What could they possibly put it those files, like think about it, what are they supposed to put??

Even my free Delphi compiler has an option to monitor users of programs I make by storing their IP adresses by saving them to a .dat file. O_o

Question through all this:

It mentions that we don't know where these files go when using smart. Isn't that because smart uses an unsigned java applet, rather than the signed?

I'm curious now...I'm running like 4x SMART's lol.

Nope, you can selcect wether you want signed or unsigned smart. :)

[Wolygon]

lol i never knew about this good tut =)

[Ghostman]

nice guide I never knew that they put files on the pc

hmmmmmm are they watching me? lol jk

[AgentZero]

Ok, so does logging to an unsigned applet solved all the problems then?

[Xtensity]

Ya when aryan was back around I had a single auto miner that I autoed to 85 mining. When it got banned all my accounts on my computer I had logged into the past week or so got banned along with it.

But I dont know if thats the case.

My friend got banned for 3 days on his main for autoing then just went onto his pure while he was banned so who knows.

Very Good tutorial.

[EvilChicken!]

Sp0rk, explain what that is and how this has to do with anything regarding this tutorial?

[7EPI7]

[7EPI7]

seems like a lot of work for not much reward dontcha think? lol

[shatok]

ohhh thanks, had already saw that files but didnt know what are they for, and what should i do
nice, thanks

[fuxnix]

First of all, thanks for reading.

I believe that the SwiftKit client is nothing more than a application with some useful additional calculators, and an implemented internet browser that simply loads the RuneScape client.
Hence, it acts like any other internet browser.

ooo thx :P

... Do not double post. It doesnt matter how low your post count is, its not making it any better by breaking the rules. You better hope you wont recieve an infraction.


On Topic: Jeez, I delete me chache every few days and I have never gotten banned for some odd reason. Would PC Specs change what is sent to the UID files that Jagex Examines. Maybe thats why they wanted people to send in the specs. :rolleyes:

[tank phobia]

In my opinion these files are not used for finding out autoers etc, I don't really have an explanation for what they are for. An interesting idea would be to message Jagex and ask them what they are for, use customer support, it could get a no response or shed light on just what they are for.

[AlexanderTheGreat]

that's kinda sick xd4
I'll start doing it tho

[Oranosob]

this makes me scared honestly.
Although, it means that we have some link to jagex, can we tap into that?

[Magic pk40]

I dont get this part clear.

* - List over known uid.dat/random.dat file locations:

* C:\Windows\.jagex_cache_32\random.dat
* C:\Windows\.file_store_32\random.dat
* C:\Windows\.file_store_32\uid.dat
* C:\Windows\uid.dat
* C:\Windows\random.dat
* C:\uid.dat
* C:\random.dat
* C:\Documents and settings\uid.dat
* C:\Documents and settings\random.dat
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uid.dat
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\random.dat
* C:\Administrator\random.dat
* C:\Administrator\uid.dat
* C:\RSCache\uid.dat
* C:\RSCache\random.dat

Which file's i need to open? the first two or the last two? I really dont understand.

[jot090]

i opened ur attached file and i ran it with microsoft word.
now what do i do??:(

[jakeyboy29]

if u delete the catch file or change it, it gets downloaded as soon as u run runescape again... try it.

[Bad Processor]

It appears those files are encrypted or compressed in some way. If they were the plain file, people could change them too easily? :spongebob:

yes, or read what they do.

[tom43]

This makes me worried, I have autoed on my main for a while, I guess that's stupid but personally I think Jagex is all talk, I mean they say all this crap about how you will get perma banned if you even think about thinking about autoing. They are full of it and this is probably another trick to get people who want to auto but don't want to get banned to not auto. IDK if I am making any sense.

[freebullets]

People, ffs this isn't some conspiracy. They're probably just files used by the game to identify the computer you're using.

[rikdegraaff]

Nice work, but shall i use it once a day or once a week or once a month?

[skvatboy]

Is this guide up-to-date ?

[Theolithical]

Not sure if it's up-to-date, as the pictures seem to be a little old, but this is what I got out of the guide + first few posts.

The Jagex Cache thing possibly looks hints of macro'ing or rule-breaking, but then if you delete it, it makes you look a little more shady in the eyes of Jagex.

[pini3000]

This is a long way outdated lol, why is it still active?

[cycrosism]

If you auto unsigned it downloads the files EVERY time you want to auto/play rs.

not that good as it takes a long time + wastes bandwidth

You would suggest to auto signed? Im reading all over the forums to do it unsigned...

Speaking of which, this topic IS important to be still discussed. I can't find a good way to play unsigned in a free world from the RS homepage: if it's really impossible JaGeX has played a vary tricky card: SMART-users who load their unsigned client are 3rd party software users...

my 2 a 3 cents...

Very Interesting Read. Sorry if i am grave digging but i found a ASCII Table and Description online but i don't know how to use the table i found to translate the random.dat file to English or at least Proper English without Zero's and Numbers.
