no it does not for some reason. Also since the new osrs update the bot is not working at all
Oh really? So are you able to use your space bar to do things like click continue in chat dialog or select menu interfaces etc
Maybe there is a plugin that is overriding what the key does? Can you type the number 5 in game chat? lol just brainstorming, it's an issue on your end but I don't know what. There is no Runescape setting to turn on or off, it just always works for every account to use your keyboard
Also regarding update:
If bots are acting strange it could be as a result of a recent game update or similar. Before starting any more bots, check announcements to see if the client is down. If it is, wait for further instruction.
If the client is online, try restarting both RuneMate and OSRS. Make sure to close all RuneMate and OSRS clients to ensure everything is updates when they're restarted.
If you're having still issues with bots "not doing anything" then uninstall RuneMate, restart your PC, then reinstall RuneMate. It's not known what the issues are and how they are fixed, but generally reinstalling and restarting seems to do the trick.
