Real model visible with GPU plugin switched off

[Gipphe]

Running RuneScape with CPU rendering (i.e. no "GPU" plugin enabled, neither the modern GPU plugin, the legacy GPU plugin nor the 117 HD plugin) causes the real player model to be visible, albeit with no animations.

Also worthy of note: with a GPU plugin, the real player model is not normally visible, but its outline is visible when using other plugins that highlight the currently hovered tile, like the built-in Tile Indicators plugin's "Hovered tile" option, and hovering over a tile that the real player model is in front of (for example, the tile you are currently standing on).

This was tested with the following setup:
Runelite version: 2.7.2
Launcher: Bolt Launcher 0.22.0
OS: NixOS (Linux)
Linux kernel version: 6.18.37
Display server: Wayland
Window Manager: Hyprland 0.55.4
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

I recognize that this setup might not be "standard" compared to what other users of this plugin might use, so if the problems described are not apparent in other setups/on Windows, and this issue does not garner much traction from others experiencing the same issue, I guess it can be closed as "Won't fix".

Thank you for this submission! I changed it so the plugin is auto disabled with an on-screen warning that the GPU plugin is required.

The outline is due to a confliction with the improved tile indicators plugin. I'll keep the ticket open while I track if I can do anything with the conflicting plugin
