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

SpongebobIsLife·Jan 9, 2015·100 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.

I can launch my game now, but find myself stuck at the login page....WTH

YmiraJan 9, 20153 votes

its getting better from a while ago ....it says "Logging On" but then says "Unable to Connect to PVP.net"

theyre probably fixing it right now.

....hopefully.

the most disappointing part about it is I don't know what is really happening, roit is not posting any official response to give us an explaination .

CleverSlothJan 9, 20153 votes

I am also having this issue. Tried turning off my firewall as well as restarting and nothing helped.

ArtorrisJan 9, 20151 votes

Sooo on the server status page there is a link to reset your IP address and try again. I just followed the steps and it resolved multiple issues. I run ESET and it hasn't interfered with anything.

The steps are very well explained and not hard to do. Follow them exactly and it should fix the problem. Also if I understand it right it will help clear any clingers to your ipcache and other potential problem areas.

Great job on that post btw IT Guys.

Wow. Really Riot? No Loss Forgiven?! Come on I just lost points because I wasnt able to connect thanks to this bug. Why cant you guys ever patch correctly?

BrightPhenomJan 9, 20153 votes

get rid of pando media booster they said, it will be better they said

SuchLucyWowJan 9, 20153 votes

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

Mitsurugi RyuuJan 9, 20153 votes

Same here.

SuchLucyWowJan 9, 20153 votes

I found a solution!

try do the next thing go to 'finder' > 'League of legends' (click on it) > you drag the lol icon under it 'applications' and than should it work.

CoolKnightSTJan 9, 20153 votes

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.

lDontLiftIcarryJan 9, 20151 votes

Why would flushing a DNS solve any issue for you lol. Thats only if you're getting ddosed/have been ddosed/were disconnected by a ddosed server

BrightPhenomJan 9, 20152 votes

Every precaution is worth a shot!

CoolKnightSTJan 9, 20152 votes

Well someone from the staff told us the issue. It's a problem with the IPS I believe. It was no DDoS

Riot should post #rekt every time they do this.

Super007MarioJan 9, 20153 votes

I am having the same issue. Game crashed last night. I deleted it and reinstalled and it crashed again. Tried again just now and when I click on the "download lol" site it takes me to a page that says "google chrome could not connect to riot lol server" or something, so I can't even download the game! WTF

Try running as administrator.

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

caoQNMLGBJan 9, 20152 votes

for fucking sake, they wont fucking upgrade their server what can i say

SNOWSPADEJan 9, 20152 votes

I agree. GODDAMN IT!!!! since the last main patch or so it seems almost impossible for me to log in! I usually have to turn off the main screen music and moving picture and still I can only get in 1/80 times. Now it wont even let me get into the log in screen. I swear I've never had a problem before and yes I have actually deleted and redownloaded the whole game to having no success at all. WTF is riot doing and why are they not trying to fix this bug? I can't be the only one having this problem! This is rediculous and with how far they've come along this should not happen! Would you please fix this riot?!!!!

caoQNMLGBJan 9, 20152 votes

You are just fine, I LOST 2 WINNING RANKED GAME JUST BECUZ THIS FUCKING BUG, THIS FUCKING BUG, AND IT IS NOT EVEN A LOST PREVENT. There are way too many champions they are working on right now, they dont put any, ANY resources on server maintain. ALL THEY THINK ABOUT IS MAKING MONEY

It's just really frustrating. It seems like here lately, it's a crap shoot as to whether or not your game client will even start properly....

BryffeJan 9, 20152 votes

Iv got the same problem.

The RagerJan 9, 20152 votes

Can we please get a Mod response?

dajuggernuttJan 9, 20152 votes

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.

criizzashJan 9, 20152 votes

All I did was ipconfig/flushdns and it worked. Still can't log in though.

Thanks dude. It helped me, so this is my first time i can say that a NA player had helped me!

Al5496Jan 9, 20152 votes

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.

Yeah same here and its hours later in VA

Tyliear DeprawJan 9, 20152 votes

i just started haveing this issue, lucky i have other games, looks like i might take another month hiatus

DotearJan 11, 20151 votes

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.

Saturnalia9Jan 13, 20151 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.

DotearJan 14, 20151 votes

Have you contacted Windstream or Riot in any way. Like via email or call.
