League of Legends

As of League of Legends Patch 9.4
--------------------------------------------
- Type of Bug: Client, Unable to log in

- Description: (LINUX) "We're unable to log you in because you may be offline." -message, restarting the client restores a previous version, updates again and fails to fix anything. Internet connection works. Only happened this patch. Same problem for at least some other linux users, as reported on the linux league subreddit.

See: www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/at0x1y/94_patch_bug_megathread/egyn2ox/

I'd love to know if someone has had success on making it work as win7/10, as support for winXP is coming to an end on may. I have tried several combinations to no avail. Instantly crashes at game startup (client works)

Same here. Game crash always. Haven't found a solution yet...

LoL works now perfectly with wine-staging. I only had a small issue: moving around was not smooth. This is most pronounced when locking the camera to the character and move it across the map. From time to time it would jump a bit or stutter. In my case this is not performance related.

It seems to be a problem with vsync. Turn vsync off in the game setting. There is still a little stuttering, if frame rate is uncapped. This might be a LoL issue (support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/209010626-Frame-Skipping-on-High-End-PCs?flash_digest=874db937831b3496ceee54ec356a63bd10311d1c). It goes away when setting a frame rate cap.

With vsync off I got a little bit of tearing. But I can still set vsync outside for Mesa (set environment variable vblank_mode=3). Now I get vsync'd output without stuttering.

tl;dr
If you experience stuttering when moving around:
- turn vsync off in game setting
- set a framerate cap
- set environment variable vblank_mode=3

In May 2019 (after patch 9.9), League of Legends is going to stop supporting Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Hi, is there someone here who can play LoL using wine-vanilla in recent versions ?

No u need Wine-staging 3.16. I got some issue with the 3.17.
Working fine with the 3.16 and winetricks on OpenSuse

wget raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

./winetricks vcrun2015
./winetricks vcrun2013
./winetricks d3dx9
./winetricks d3dcompiler_43

WineCfg -> Graphics -> Emulate a virtual Desktop.
Have fun

I still have error with wine-development 3.21 on Debian with all installed winetricks dlls that are listed.

I forgot to mention that you also have to disable in game voice chat

OK, I have found the the problem is the LeagueClient.exe sometimes launch consuming 90% CPU. The problem starts when you start the client itself. You don't need to go in-game to get the bug.

Nope, I was wrong. LeagueClient.exe only starts consuming 50% CPU when the game starts.

Maybe having the clos eclient during game influence?

Since the release of the new client more than 1 year ago, when I start a game, sometimes LeagueClient.exe consumes 50% CPU. In normal circumstances it only consumes 1%. This is a problem because if killed, voice chat cant be used anymore.

How can I debug this? Thank you.

In recent wine-staging versions, the game works again, but no more sound...
Any ideas ?

I mean : no sound in game, but I have sound in the client menu itself (before starting a game)

the sounds works only when installing and using pulseaudio.
It doesn't work with alsa, even when using dmix.
Didn't tried with an asym alsa config yet.

With Esync 3.13 the game works again and works pretty well too. I have a core i5 2400, gt1030, and 8gbs of ram, game gets around 80fps avg on medium low settings.

Is there any news on how the wine team is handling this and if they made any progress?
i hope the game works soon, greetings from a long time wine user.

Hi there.
Apparently latest patch 8.15 solved he issue. its listed in lutris.net as "platinum, runs flawlessly". however i havent been able to run it, dont know why, it simple fails to start. you may give it a try and let us know if it works.
:)

So yeah the game works! great, but for some people including me the client crashes when hovering the play button and some other things, so i need to switch between wine versions but the game runs great!

hi. can you please share your specs so i can try to run it successfully on my end? thnks in advance ;)

i5 6600k
r9 380
ubuntu 18.04
i use the patched lutris lol-3.13 64 bit version to run the game and 3.8 staging to run the client. i just switch between them.

hi.
damm, seems theres a local issue. it simply wont start, and the error shown is just unhelpful.
how do you run the game and the client with different versions?
thnx

So i use this programm called lutris, it allows you to easily manage wine games and install them.
Right now theres a wine version that works perfectly, only for some people there is no sound in the client, the version in wine esync-3.13-x86_64.
There is also the league of linux subreddit which has a lot of information and news about the game, i hope this helped you a bit and goodluck on the rift.

yes, friend ty. ill look into that :)

due to the anti-cheat update from riot.
theres these errors:
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe"
LeagueClient.exe(00000009): ALWAYS| Application Version:8.13.236.184 - CL:2360184 - Build Date:Jun 28 2018 - Build Time:15:17:55

The new anticheat system fucked it up.
boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/sB4ucqXc-game-client-anti-cheat-changes-going-live

I can confirm; incredible; an anti-cheat on league of legends...

Same here ....
Accordingly to the Riot forum & Reddit- they want cooperate to make this work, but it is not priority.

So guys, is someone working on any solution?

hi, I have a problem when he has to load to get into the game.
the error is: "elf_search_auxv can`t find symbol in module"
what should I do? (sorry for my bad english)

Hi, where can i find wine-staging-3.6. I'm opensuse user and it isn't in any repos there. I can't find rpm packager or even binary. Could someone help me?

type in the search bar wine staging opensuse or software.opensuse.org/package/wine-staging

There are only newer version. But I've installed it via lutris.

I am running wine 3.6-staging in 64bit mode. Everything works without any configuration. But no sound in League of Legends.

Is it still on dx9? Gallium 9 always 30-40fps, no matter the settings.
Loading screen looks as if 8-bit colour depth was in use and is pixelised.
Store returns error number 666.
Wine 3.4 stagging

if it is still in dx9 and I have it in 64 bits, I have an average of 80 fps in the maximum graphic configuration, the launcher I see it well and I can access the store but I do not know if it works when I buy rp, the bad thing is that I had to wait 2 hours to install and when loading a game the game went to the secondary monitor and solved by enabling the virtual desktop, by the way in the configuration of wine on the tab staging activated everything except hide wine version from applications and right click on the game and in configuration (I continue using lutris) in the system options tab with show advanced options activated I have put in evironment variables __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS and you can put it in 1 or in 0 depending on which one goes better.

I had to wait two hours to install with Wine 3.3 but now I have installed with Wine 3.4 and it has taken me less than two hours, as I made a mistake and I had to reinstall Manjaro besides use the Rufus on Windows to record it and use GPT for UEFi and use the option to burn in DD because in ISO I did not boot for some reason then I'm not sure if it was for manjaro or that version 3.4 of wine solved the problem of the installation that I had in previous versions that was that when I finished downloading and I was applying versions I was looking at the speed of writing the disc with iotop (I do not know if there is anything in graphic mode, I do not care if I have to run from the terminal, I would only like to have iotop or something similar in graphic mode) and it had an average 500 KB but installing with Wine 3.4 do not look at the speed of writing but I think it took an hour or even less, I think I exploited a neuron or something because I could not believe it.

The league voice is running only the default version of wine 3.4, it crash in wine-pba3.3 and wine-staging 3.4.

Hello. Today (League version 8.6) the voice chat has been realeased into the League Client. If you activate it and you enter a party with the voice chat activated, the client will crash. I have tried to solve it by adding some DLLs into winecfg, but I couldn't manage to fix it.

Regards.

It seems that it only crash if you click on the voice chat tab at the left bottom of the client and then talk to it.

Also if someone in your group speaks, it crash too.

I have the exact same problem. This is the error message triggered every time the client crashes:
wine: Call from 0x7b43ce3c to unimplemented function api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll.nexttowardf, aborting

This is a bit annoying during the character selection because the client keeps crashing and you have only few seconds between two crashes to select a character, the runes, and your spells. Otherwise, it works well during the game.

I've installed league of legends from lutris. It uses wine 3.4-staging. I'm going to try the suggestion below of activating EAX and will let you know if it fixes this issue.

Best,

Try enabling EAX in the staging options. Works like a charm for me (3.4 staging on Arch).

It doesn't work for. I'm also on Arch linux and using 3.4-staging. I still get the following error:
ine: Call from 0x7b43ce3c to unimplemented function api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll.nexttowardf, aborting
whenever I'm in the Lobby with league voice activated.
As a workaround, I ask my friends to not talk during the player selection. The crash appears if someone is talking only. And when the game is started, it doesn't crash anymore.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was: "Works perfectly when voice chat is disabled in the options."

I use Teamspeak to communicate with my pre-made team.
