IMPORTANT::::::: Reinstall works and getting in with the old client. Problem is the new client, reinstal with hextech it will be like 7 gigs download in total took me like 20 mins

Are you saying to uninstall LOL?

I reinstalled got into game before update finished so i get into old client and not new, but as soon as you get out or the game finishes updating completely u get the new client again. So its not a permanent fix, unless u reinstall and never exit the game again. edit: to clarify, u reinstall, after 1 gig download u can get into game via old client, then while inside game starts updating 7 gig, after that u can play, but if u exit game/client game is gonna be starting via the new client again and u wont be able to login again

Search for Riot Client folder, and just rename it to "Riot Client2" then launch the game. It will work

windows?

you think it would work on a mac?

Its the same idea, cause the PBE or Live client, if that Folder exists it will launch the New Client, if not, it will use the older client.

dealing with the same thing now myself, thank you spaghetti code :) on a side note i deleted both the riot client and pbe that it was happening on and reinstalled both to no avail, seems its just a launcher connecting to server issue thats due to the launcher only and not which client version you run

Happening to me as well, initially couldnt even start client ... now after like 10 tries the client will start but I am unable to login due to the "couldn't update" error that everyone else is seeing.... I'm even a software developer so i've checked everything on my PC and this is 100% server side ... let's see how long it takes riot to fix this

I got the exactly same problem. Here is what I did:

  1. trying to connect to normal client - it is not turning on
  2. trying to login to PBE client - it says my account is not available for this server. (I just played yesterday)
  3. trying to login to normal client again - it says my account is not available for this server again. (looks like the sharing login session between the normal server and PBE server have some logic errors.)
  4. close it and open it again - on loading screen forever (spinning the red circle)
  5. reinstall and get into the game with old version of client. (Please fixed riot!)

This is very frustrating. I was playing perfectly fine yesterday. I've dumped almost 2k into this game over the years. Fix your shit riot.

BlackenedScar1 votes

i guess dont expect anything from riot some people have had this issue for 2 weeks.

BlackenedScar1 votes

is it really that hard for them just to revert the last patch?

Deviant Behavior1 votes

My client wont even open now. I spam click it. (NA region)

I've restarted and shutdown my laptop. My other applications and internet is fine.

I was just playing on this client 2 hours ago, several games, several different game modes, no problem.

Now I can't even open it. Pls fix this.

on PBE and live servers there has been so many bugs and problems with ping, match making, and clients not working over the last two weeks. Its like every other day. Please for the love of god focus on making this stuff playable.
