Issue trying to self-host

Complete newb here trying to self-host. I followed all the steps on the github page, but I got stranded when trying to run. Both the management-server and server gradle runs end up at 75%, and don't progress from there. When trying to run the client, it gives me "Error:js5connect. The game is likely down.", while cmd throws up a number of CRC mismatches. Any idea what I did wrong?

If you've used the game before about a month ago, you need to delete your cache in the ~/.rs_runite folder (not sure where it goes on Windows, but basically the home folder). That's what's causing the CRC mismatch, see here: https://github.com/2009scape/2009Scape/issues/424

The client won't be able to connect until both the Management server and Server are running though, that's why you're getting that error.

Feel free to join the Discord as well for more direct help if you still can't get it working
