[CLIENT] Login Screen blank after hitting Launch

ModelT·4/17/2015, 1:37:52 AM·5 votes·10,892 views

The last few days I have not been able to play League because after the client updates and I hit the 'Launch' button, I am brought to a blank screen instead of a Login screen. It's the same window, but the graphic doesn't load, no music, and nothing, just a blank window.

Please help, as I'd like to get back to playing League with my friends!

FIX FOUND

{quoted}

Having the same problem here. Did anyone find a solution? found this solution trying it now... I struggled with the black login screen on two different computers; my desktop pc with nvidia and amd, and now my laptop which is Intel i5 with on board graphics. Reinstalled, ran the integrity, deleted the air client folders, you name it, nothing helped. Found out the actual cause on both PC's was due to the registry/my documents folders. Here's the fix:

Open Notepad (wordpad, etc.) Copy and Paste the following: md C:\Documents reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v Personal /t reg_sz /d C:\Documents /f reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v "My Documents" /t reg_sz /d C:\Documents /f attrib +r -s -h "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" /S /D

Save the file as a windows batch file (.bat) Run the file Restart computer VIOLA!!! Hope this helps!!!

(Windows 7 64 bit on both my machines, FYI. One professional, one home)

UPDATE:

Here's a list of things I have tried

  • Every fix in the official Riot Login Support page (Fixing all sorts of IE stuff, Resetting my DNS, resyncing my clock, etc)
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Air
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling League
  • Messing with various files in the League of legends program file, deleting some and trying to re-launch, moving some around and trying to relaunch, etc.
  • Yes I have restarted my computer, probably 12 or so times by now.
  • Unplugging all non-essential peripherals (Controllers, headset, etc.)

Nothing has worked so far. I wanted to play League about 5 hours ago. Somebody help.

This helped me track down the cause of my identical problem (so thanks!) but a registry script is a bit of a dangerous way to fix it.

The root cause here (which I think is the same for the original poster) is that the Windows Documents location pointed to a folder which no longer existed (or had no related folders). It happened for me because my Documents location was on a secondary hard drive which I then removed.

Even though it seems LoL doesn't store anything in Documents, the client black-screens if it can't find/use that location. You can fix this in Windows Explorer (without dangerous registry changes) by right-clicking on your Documents location (should be in your Quick Access bar in the left pane) and, in Properties --> Location, setting up folders which exist.

I would like to confirm that when I had this problems for windows7 64, this worked. I had two harddrives, a SSD and a normal one. The normal one got corrupted and when I came to download League on my new one the black screen happened. This solution works guys
