[Client] Alot of players from southern states can't connect to client chat.

HongChongDong··8 votes·9,479 views

As you can see from other posts alot of people from the southern states like texas, louisiana (this is where I live) and Mississippi are blocked from the client chat functions meaning: They can't see their friends list, they can't message anyone, they can't invite anyone, and probably more importantly they can't talk in pre game and post game lobbies.

Not a PC issue. this is a Riot related issue.

Hey folks,

We want to understand this issue a bit better, could you please run tracerts to 192.64.174.69 and post here the results? It will help us towards investigation.

Instructions on how to perform tracerts can be found here https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752674-Network-System-and-League-of-Legends-Logs#wq2

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem here in Tennessee, and I doubt its the ISP because what are the odds we all have the same provider.

Zielmann2 votes

If it's isolated to a region, it's probably not a Riot issue, either. More likely ISP.

Can you advise if chat is connecting now? For those of you who still have problems - please provide the traceroute requested as it'll help us narrow down the cause.

Thanks

Unfortunately it's still not connecting, for me at least. I provided my traceroute above on Muffy's post.

Unfortunately this particular thread was actually about an issue that happened about a month ago where alot of the southern states were affected but now that issue has been resolved. If you're having issues this is likely not the same problem so open a different thread because no one will likely reply to this one and see if Riot has any suggestions.
