We started a custom game to see if we could recreate the issue, and we did. We made a video and will upload/link it soon.

Edit: It's in the thread I created.

Avast detected the LolLauncher and LeagueOfLegends as viruses. You need to go to your virus chest and add it to exclusions. I did that and now it actually works.

How to restore files:

Right click the avast icon in your tray and open avast user interface Click on statistics Component status Virus Chest Right click LeagueOfLegends.exe and LoLLauncher.exe and click restore and add to exclusions

My current game crashed and won't let me reconnect. No bugsplat, the loading screen just never came up. I have already played a few games today and nothing was changed. I have tried reconnecting and resetting client multiple times and nothing happens. The loading screen just doesn't come up. On top of this being unfair to my team because they have no jungle now, but I'm going to get a leaver mark. I have never left a game on my own accord. Aside from uncontrollable happening like server crashes or power outages I have a perfect record with not leaving games.

(just made a fraps of clicking the reconnect and nothing happen if riot would be interested in seeing what is happening)

UPDATE i just had to agree to "not leave a game again" so i got punished because your server has problems....

Can't reconnect video- www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WXPuPaYP6A&feature=youtu.be

Can't reconnect video #2- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt3i5nsqJMI&feature=youtu.be

Changed a few things restarted my computer and made sure only essential programs were running still had the same problem. I have played 3 or 4 games prior to this happening and i havent changed anything. I feel if i am to be punished this is a huge lapse in judgement.

I got it to work after adding lol.launcher.admin and lol.launcher from c:Riot Games under the league of legends file to the list of allowed apps in Fire wall.

Step 1: Go to System and Security (Under Control Panel) Step 2: Find windows firewall and click on the blue link for Allow an app through Windows Firewall Step 3: A window will pop up. Click Change Settings Step 4: click Allow Another App Step 5: Another window pops up called Add an app. Click browse. Step 6: Go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends and select Lol.launcher.admin and lol.launcher Step 7: Restart client

Worked for me so i'm not sure if it'll help you.

looks like another mark on leaver buster for something riot messed up on

So the Avast thing fixed my problem, but customer support won't do anything about Leaverbuster. I don't like it one bit. I do my best to never walk away from a game, no matter how bad things get. Unfortunately this week someone tripped the power nearby while I was in game and this Avast crap today (as well as a few bad connection attempts earlier causing me to enter a game late...possibly caused by same situation). So of course I get a queue priority reduction for five games. Punished for trying my best to be a team player and not going afk like the trolls that Leaverbuster is supposed to stop. Not happy with this implementation RIOT. Please revisit and have a community discussion regarding the matter.

Elethian12/7/2014, 5:58:05 AM3 votes

Same thing happened to me. Apparently I just got leave busted too since the game is over now.

Same, Im currently in a ranked game. Please, if anyone from Riot sees this, would you be kind enough to give me/us loss prevention?

Now at patch 6.18 problem persists for players will Riot ever fix the spaghetti code.

I had no idea how to fix this. What the heck is Avast? I was playing a few hours ago and now my in game screen won't work.

Solvein12/7/2014, 6:07:00 AM2 votes

I sent in a request...hopefully someone in office is monitoring this crap!

Crysi10212/7/2014, 6:23:33 AM2 votes

I had this same issue, and it made me do the whole 'I will not abandon another game' thing because it thought I left. >.>

This is becoming increasingly annoying. I really, really hope that Riot will show some attention to this issue and not punish those of us with the loading screen issue.

I've tried to remove it from the virus chest, but now my PvP.net isn't working either.

i recently joined a game and got through champion select but right after when getting into the loading screen it won't allow me to even see the loading screen. i try to reconnect, but it just "beeps" at me. i tried setting priority, restarted my computer, and even went as far as to reinstalling all together... is it a problem on my end? anyone else having this issue.

I've had this start happening regularly. I'm about 2 more bronze v games with extending queue penalties away from selling my account. I'm so fucking tired of this garbage. Avast fix does not work, client repair did not work, I clean installed, I've rebooted. Client REFUSES to let me join my ranked game. Fucking garbage.
