[Client] Unable to connect to chat

Goodguy Hopper·Aug 4, 2015·17 votes·3,334 views

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 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.

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.

Well I went and tried the method that was discussed in the previous board post but it didn't work for me, would be interested to know if anyone else has had success with this method or not.

jussybbyAug 4, 20151 votes

No, it did not work for me!

Bryce WolfeAug 5, 20151 votes

Well that's unfortunate, but that most likely means is that the problem is not with whatever internet service provider you have connecting with Riot's server, but the data that is sent from them to you is not getting through. So we just have to sit and wait until the problem is resolved on their end.

Yup happening for me as well.

DolynaAug 4, 20151 votes

No chat for me either in the SW.

halograntAug 4, 20151 votes

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.

BissinAug 4, 20151 votes

AzdayaAug 5, 20151 votes

Yeah, having the same problem, chat isn't working, I'm in Boulder, CO, using college campus internet, not sure if it is comcast or not.

Bryce WolfeAug 5, 20151 votes

Yea I'm using a college ISP as well, so I can't be much help in determining if that is the issue. Though it seems that most people are from the western part of the US, so that might be a factor.

Ath SumeriusAug 5, 20151 votes

I've been waiting for Comcast to not be cancer for years now...
