A password is required to enter this room

ChrisTheDuck··98 votes·20,899 views

Every time I start the client, I get millions of pop ups in the top right corner, where it says "a Password is required to enter this room". Pressing X only closes one but opens another pop up right away, trying to close them all quickly, breaks the client. Please fix.

I've been having this problem, but instead of when I open the client, it's when I reach the post game page after a match.

It makes it really hard to see the results with those annoying popups! Been happening since the map update.

OK, I'm replying on this comment just so everyone who is having the issue can see it. There is a workaround to stop this happening. It is a Rito Spaghetti-code™ problem with closing the client during the game. Here is how to work around the issue until they have repaired the client-side issue.

1 - Go to your client settings (the cog in the top right corner of the client window)

2 - On the very first page, there is an option called "Close client during game"; deselect this option

3 - PROFIT!

I'd suggest relogging to make the client upload the persistent profile options so that this option is unchecked when you logon in the future too.

But there you have it. Simple fix.

Alas, the problem is much deeper than this, and seems to have to do with the client process closing and reopening. Whatever client code implementation Rito made on patch 9.23_ or 9.24_ has broken the way the client logs back into the active session. I haven't tried testing it yet, but I would hazard a guess that it has something to do with the client requiring token access to the lobby upon reopening and that there is an authentication process that has a private key for each player that matches their public key stored on their PC settings. I am just guessing, maybe even stretching it, but is it maybe possible, someone has altered the code that hashes the players keys when they enter the lobby, and that it is somehow forgetting the key when they exit the game and the client reopens?

That's just my 2 cents worth, but I thought it may be useful.

Enjoy, my fellow Summoners :D

GOD BLESS

the irony is, I turned on "close client during game" during 9.24, to workaround the issue that you have to restart the client every ~4-8 games or it becomes non-responsive.

i think the client engineering and QA teams have some management issues

This fixed it, but I just want @RIOT to know that this is getting old... They just had an update and there was no fix to this obvious problem...

better fix would be riot doing their jobs and we don't have to bother with this bs

I'm getting this as well in the post game lobby. I get around a couple dozen popups on the honor screen, client crashes. Relaunch, puts me back in honor screen, more popups. Crash, relaunch, finally in lobby. Has probably happened around five times today.

Had this issue yesterday today morning the same thing. Riot every single week there is an issue with this Client. Last patch everyones background showed the same as my selection for two weeks. Now this same issue since yesterday. You guys need to seriously put some time into the client issues instead of just dishing out champions and skins.

Tranney Hunter2 votes

I get this as well as a buggy post game screen where no one is in the lobby, also my friends list and message notification are bugged. Do they care? Riot always seems pathetic during and after finals with these crappy client issues

M1STA GINGA2 votes

This bug is so annoying, you cant change what game mode you want to play, check after match score, go to SHOP, YOUR SHOP, OR BASICALLY anything in the top right of the client. PLEASE RIOT

RIPHS2 votes

Still happening even in patch 9.24B come on guys it's getting absurd now it causes crashes how has this not been addressed

Rinhaza2 votes

I can't change the game mode and if I try to exit them out to much, the whole client crashes. How would you even need a password for a open lobby. I am confused on how that even is a thing. summoner 14

Sounds like an issue with the file your computer has.

Try reinstalling or running the repair tool, if that doesnt fix it then maybe submit a support ticket.

EldonTyrsen8 votes

Sounds more like a problem with the new patch
