Logging in.... Forever?

Idenkiteki·11/20/2014, 4:56:47 PM·35 votes·37,417 views

I am trying to log in and play but I sit on logging in forever... and it does not change. I am not sure if I am the only one. It is not my internet. I can play 1080P plus youtube video no buffer needed. As well as 2k and 4k.

Same, it never goes past "Loading..." Tried both my accounts and same thing happening. Rito please.

I have the same issue. What I did was I closed the launcher, then I right clicked on the shortcut and clicked "Run As Admin". When I tried to log in then, it worked. If it doesn't work, try it again and hopefully it will eventually work, Good Luck.

I'm having the same thing as all above. I've "Run As Admin" #fail I've Turned my Router off #morefail I've uninstalled and re-installed LOL #uberfail

The one thing I haven't tried is lol_air_client how do I even do that?

Patch 4.20 worked for me originally but now I'm just stuck on the screen saying "Loggin On" with the load bar.

How do I keep playing LOL? #ONEBIGFATFAIL

I'm still running into the "Logging on.." part and it never connecting. I've been waiting for like 20 minutes and it's still doing the same thing. Probably the 30th or so attempt to connect to a game I've invested alot of money into. Rito you need to really fix this asap.

Either I can't get to the log in screen, it doesn't take my login to completion, or pvp.net doesn't connect me with my friendlist. That's my endless cycle right now.

Same here. Sitting here now, looking at the Kalista login screen. Second day in a row I can't login to league. It's showing the status window as follows:

"Login Status Logging on..."

As stated before, second day in a row, so maybe only hours after patch 4.20 came out did this start happening. I made sure that the server wasn't down during those times, server status said it was up and fine at all times of attempt to log in.

Edit: I can login when I use "run as admin", but I can't login normally.

Ugh same. Just forced an update and now I can't log in... it just stalls at logging in then tells me it failed with a link to click "here" for more info. The link by the way is also broken. :(

Guess no game play for me today. Riot??? Anyone out there???

same issue here

I had this issue earlier where it'd say "logging in" and wouldn't do anything. I would just close the client and then reopen it and that seemed to help.

Although, I've had other issues with logging in such as the client saying it cannot connect with the server when my internet is working fine. This can cause it to take forever to log in as well.

Run As Admin worked for me, except now the chat doesn't work again. There doesn't seem to be that < ! > notice about it being fixed anymore. Is it going to be like this from now on?

the Sigh f Kight11/21/2014, 2:37:16 PM1 votes

I have the same issue too. I was able to log in by running as admin yesterday, but now what I can only do is to pray that rito would notice this bug and fix it as soon as possible. PLz!

La Cazadora11/21/2014, 5:22:04 PM1 votes

I keep running into the actual client not running. I click Launch and... nothing happens. I have to go into task manager, nuke the process for the patcher, and start over. It also results in the actual client .exe running multiple instances. It doesn't seem to be a net issue at all.

Thanatos Emporos11/21/2014, 5:30:17 PM1 votes

Same issue. Not my router or internet as I am currently streaming netflix on second monitor. Started happening after Patch 4.20 came out. Sometimes closing and opening will work, but sometimes not. I guess Patch 4.20 must mean the client smoked too much cheba and now doesn't want to work for anyone. Lol.

NaCl Shaker11/21/2014, 7:35:38 PM1 votes

Running as admin won't change anything. It'll be pure coincidence if you get in after running as admin.

Also: you'll know you got logged in if you hear the sound (similar to locking in during champ select) almost immediately after you see "logging in."

If you don't hear the sound, just try again. Waiting probably won't work.

But you'll also be not very surprised by Riots service when chat service doesn't load. It's not loading on some log-ins.

Also had this issue for the past 2 days or so. It's off and on. I thought it was my connection at first, but it's clearly not that with all of the other people having the same problem. It is rare these days that I can actually log in on the first try.

Better HaIf11/21/2014, 8:02:26 PM1 votes

exactly the same problem, and this is after preseason update

Nerf Bard11/21/2014, 9:08:44 PM1 votes

Same thing is happening to me, I've tried opening as admin, restarting my router, and restarting my computer multiple times with no success. I have to try 4,5, or more times to actually get into the game. It's getting to the point where I would have to keep my computer on all night if I actually want a chance at playing the next day. I'm sure Riot has realized that this is going on and is hopefully doing SOMETHING to try to get a fix, I know they have a lot of other problems but at the moment this one seems pretty important... All we can do is wait I guess.

Has anyone figured it out yet?

What you can try to do is on the login screen, check or uncheck the login screen animation box.

Elistar9/12/2015, 12:59:51 PM1 votes

Just go to cmd and write ipconfig /flushdns , it should work after that without having to click the log in or running as administrator, worked for me with the first try

Ρengu1/2/2016, 7:33:08 AM1 votes

i FIXED my problem

it was the MTU ( in router settings ) i changed that and boom the default was 1200 i a day or two ago changed it to 550 ( gave 0 packet loss when tested ) and it worked find

hope this helps someone and do share the word :)

Try to change date to any other before logging in and switch it back after.

I'm getting the problem of forever logging in, no reasonable solutions work such as restarting x,y, and z.

bubbelift11/20/2014, 10:43:16 PM1 votes

I have never had to click the run as admin option before on the LoL client to login (not run the exe.. ?) so I'm not really sure why I should have to begin now.. everything runs as administrator by default . lol

sitting here 'logigng on', I have my one hour kitchen timer ticking away, I vote it will go off before I am fully logged on.

PS: Can log into OCE just fine, on 4.20.14_11_18_18_52

Which tell me one thing about the NA servers,

Do I even need to say .. all these prob began at 4.18, test your shyt before releasing a broken update to your users..

OOOH WE HAVE A RESULT

I had this issue as well after the 92nd time it logged in. might have to do a repair later on it.

I've tried logging in 5 times and im still not in, it's not because people are going on all on one time, it's just loading FOREVER.

Lurk3r11/21/2014, 5:06:40 AM1 votes

I just tried and I'm stuck on it saying Logging on..... Gonna play CoD.. I'll keep checking this board to keep up to date.

CWILLL11/21/2014, 9:03:41 AM1 votes

This has been happening to me too, just keep trying man.. hope you eventually get in!

What ended up working for me was opening the client normally and as admin back and forth (norm/admin/norm/admin/etc.) It always ends up working.

I have been having other issues since the patch though, like after champ select it sits in "Prepare for battle" forever and i have to close and reopen client to get back in the game. THEN it does the whole "logging in" thing again -_-
