[Patch 6.20] Client won't open after "LAUNCH"

Ré Lóaded·10/12/2016, 11:08:36 PM·4 votes·760 views

So, here's the issue. I start up the League client from the desktop no problem and it brings me to the home screen. After clicking the big orange LAUNCH button... nothing. Nothing comes up. Even as I type this, it's been 7 minutes since I launched it and still nothing. According to task manager, it's running in the background with all the usual tasks but nothing is coming up. I can close all those processes but re-opening it gets the same results. The only thing that gets the issue resolved (temporarily) is restarting my computer but if the client glitches out during a ranked game and I have to restart the client... it's a huge issue and ends up with a /remake OR me being SUPER behind since no one decided to remake the game (for WHATEVER REASON).

So, how do I resolve this issue? Because it's becoming annoying and I don't want to restart my client EVERY TIME I close my client.

Hello, I'm having a similar issue here. I've fixed it temporarily multiple times already, using a multitude of methods described, including:

Using the Hextech Repair Tool to:

Force Repatch
Reinstallation (With & Without a Clean Uninstall)
Both of these only temporarily work, but I have to run the Hextech Repair Tool every single time I want to launch the game.

Resetting winsock VIA Command Line
Checking that my Refresh Rate was set to 60hz
Uninstalling AVG Antivirus
Repairing the client using the Repair option on the Help Menu
Restarting my computer prior to launching the client

I either have to do this, or run the Hextech Repair Tool in order to Launch the client successfully.

Deleting the following files from:

C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client\releases\0.0.1.228:

releasemanifest
S_OK

C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client\releases\0.0.1.228\deploy:

lib (folder)
META-INF (folder)
mod (folder)
locale.properties
LolClient.exe
LolClient.swf

None of these solutions have worked for me, or they've only temporarily worked, so far. The LolClient.exe process gets stuck at just under 3000KB memory usage every single time I try to Launch the client, prior to using one of the temporary solutions I've been using for the past month or so. I've also checked to make sure that all my drivers are up to date, and working properly with other games. Also to note is the fact that prior to Patch 6.20, the League of Legends client was still working perfectly fine, and without any issues, with my laptop. If there's anything else that you need to know, please let me know. Thanks!
