[CRASH] Linux Client

Recently since patch 4.17 I've been getting many crashes/bugsplats. I just played a match and whenever I would kill my enemy laner, I would crash. It resulted in a loss because it happened many times in the middle of fights. I was against Kass. Other games it's crashed very frequently in I was Cass or Viktor.

Even though it's like 1 out of 5 games that crash, the games that do crash, crash a lot.

I'm sure it's related to the Mac bugsplats. I use Ubuntu Trusty. I use WINE and PoL to play LoL. I've never had crashes this bad since this last patch.

I send the bugsplat report every crash. :l

This has been happening for me too. I am on ubuntu, using PoL with Wine to run LoL. Started about the same time as the reports of the Mac crashes. I can't even get into the game any more. I try to log in, it authenticates my info then says logging on... and eventually presents an error saying "cannot connect to the PVP.net server." I tried restarting PC, reinstalling LoL, reconfigure Wine. Nothing seems to help and there are others who are having the same issues,.

Hope this helps and Riot has a fix for us soon! Looking forward to getting back to the rift!

Okay, so I found a fix for this, and it was working just up until yesterday, but I'm under the impression that the problem is probably now just me. What you have to do is open PlayOnLinux and select LoL. Don't run it, instead on the right side of PoL, there should be a bar that says Actions. Go to configure, this is not the same as configure wine. After you have the dialog box titled "PlayOnLinux configuration" appear select League Of Legends and go to the tab titled General. Click the plus symbol to the right of "Wine Version" and it's drop down box. The version I got working for me flawlessly until yesterday was "1.7.19-LeagueOfLegends2". At the moment for me, LoL won't even start. I'm under the assumption that it's to do with the removal of Pando, and that there was code that was written for it, but now the code is obsolete and is causing problems elsewhere. PLEASE let me know if this works for you, as I'm trying to solve my own problem at the moment. Also, you have to remember something, usually Riot doesn't care to help us Linux users, as many of them don't understand how Linux actually works. Most of the bug splats you send them will just be put aside without a care, and they will tell you, your issue or bug is because of something that you know for sure is not the case. I'm not putting Riot down or saying they don't care about their users, it's just that they're like Razer, where they want to perfect the systems they currently support.
