Can't start a game - instead just shows the "reconnect" screen after champ selection

Rehti Jorma·6/10/2019, 11:46:06 AM·22 votes·15,575 views

So I went to play ARAM, picked a champ and after champ selection game just threw me directly to Reconnect -screen. Tried reconnecting like 5 minutes. Shut down game, started again - directly to reconnect. Tried reconnecting again spamming the button. Nothing happens.

Anyone else with this bug?

Same problem here too. I tried running as admin, reinstall and repair, nothing worked.

I have the same issue. Restarting the computer temporarily bridges the issue but I crash again and again in all kinds of games. I also get 3 automatical restarts when starting the client. The first time it is the NA server, I can't click it, it restarts, then my server EUNE starts but still bad, and for the third time it works. I also get system errors ingame...

I have the same problem. Will not start game, after champ select it jumps straight to reconnect screen and refuses to join game.

I have tried repairing client, I have tried restarting, I have tried clean re-install. Nothing is working.

Happened twice in a row to me. First time restarted computer (3 min surrender before I was done), second time just kept spamming connect until game was over. Same leaver result both times.

I dont have that issue, only 20 second freeze in champ select every single time until I re login. Its insane really

I logged in to play after one year, and after champ select it shows "reconnect" and thats it...is it to client?

Same here, tried on normal and coop vs. ai, tried to fix with hextech repair tool with no luck

Same exact issue. I had to completely disable AVAST and it worked. I tried whitelisting league in avast and nothing worked. Choice is to play league or protect my computer :(

Update: Game would periodically disconnect.

KacperDaGhost6/11/2019, 1:03:30 PM1 votes

Same here but I tried to workout what the problem was and found that I needed network protection to run league. Which would increase my ping and the game would feel jiggery. So for my case Avast secure line would have to be on. Still waiting for rito to fix it tho.
