[Client] Unable to connect to chat

was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this? I am in the southwest area, and I think my internet comes out of either denver or albuqerque. Can join lobbies and get into games(had to manually invite friends).

Same here, Federal Heights CO, ISP: Comcast

Last night random (nasty) lag spikes with perfect ping, no chat/friends today.

I have to say the timely and helpful forum mods/customer service reps are doing a fine job helping us out. In fact after pouring over the numerous posts about this issue since 2012, I have seen ZERO Riot related posts on the subject. Bang up job guys, keep up the good work... (to sarcastic?)

Edit - 45 min and 2 games from chat service/7 min after post:

Went to smoke a cig after posting this, tapped reconnect and it actually went through. Still a MAJOR problem that Riot should at least pretend to look into. (I'm not taking my sarcasm back, that you can keep for free!)

I live in the Mid West area and am having the same difficulties, from what I have seen the chat is disconnected not only between friends but also in the pregame lobby. On an older post (from 3 months ago) there is a similar issue that popped up and some users found that setting your calendar forward one day, closing the client, and than opening it again solved the issue. I have not tried that yet but I wish you the best of luck, I'll post the board post I referenced at the bottom of this one if you want to read it.

I have the same problem, I am so glad and furious that people are experiencing the same thing. I hope riot is at least seeing these posts, and are trying to act upon the issue. I am connected to the Denver servers I believe as well.

I am in the SW area as well and chat servers are down for me. The game seemed to having lag spikes yesterday but I do not know if it is related. Never had problems before.
