I Keep Trying to Open up League but i keep getting this message

SpongebobIsLife·1/9/2015, 8:00:00 AM·100 votes·18,032 views

Whenever I try to open up the league launcher, I get the RADS error message saying it couldn't connect to the server and then I need to check my internet connection and my firewall. However, my internet connection is obviously fine, and I don't have an active firewall. If by some minute chance league does launch, when I attempt to login I get a message saying the league server did not respond. I have been playing league at several points throughout my day. Also, I had just got out of champion selection when my league "crashed" on me. This is very frustrating and none of it is my fault. Btw, I play with an average ping of about 80 to 90.

For me it's saying "Unspecified error occurred. Please check the logs for more information." I WANT LEAGUE T.T

I don't believe their is any fix right now. I already tried the following things:

  • Restart the pc
  • Include both lol patcher I, lol patcher (b), client, client admin to the firewall exeptions
  • Run the game as admin using the prompt
  • Turn off the firewall
  • Flush the DNS cache
  • Change the DNS settings (to .4 .4 from .8 .8)

I restart, repeat & combine all these actions. I guess it's no lol today.

Try running as administrator.

(Right click league of legends icon or .exe file, should be a few options down)

Exit the game completely

Press the Windows Key or Navigate to the Windows Icon at the bottom left-hand corner.

Type cmd

Right-click the Command prompt shortcut and select "Run as Administrator" from the drop down menu. You should now see a black window with white letters.

Type ipconfig /release in the command prompt. Then press [Enter] NOTE: This will disconnect you from the Internet.

Type ipconfig /renew in the command prompt. Then press [Enter]

Type ipconfig /flushdns in the command prompt. Then press [Enter]

Type exit in the command prompt. Then Press [Enter]

Relaunch League of Legends and attempt to reconnect.

Changing the DNS and Alternative DNS to the Google DNS (8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4) fix that issue.

On Mac go to Network Advanced, go to the DNS tab and click on the plus (+) icon on the lower left corner, then add the 8.8.8.8, then do it again and type the 8.8.4.4. On windows is much easier, Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, then right click Properties, Internet protocol Verision 4 (TCP/IPv4), properties and change the DNS and Alternative DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively. I hope it works for someone. P.S: Leave a comment if it worked for you.

I'm having the same problem,but i'm skeptical of whether its truly riot or not, because of a past event. Whats your internet provider mines wind stream. If most people have the same internet provider who's having this problem its something to think about, because obviously some people could get on.

Saturnalia91/13/2015, 9:45:47 PM1 votes

Windstream as well. At home I can't even access the LoL website. I'm thinking this might actually be Riot's server having ISP conflicts. With that said, they need to fix this or they may lose many more players.
