Here is what I did to get this error:

Opened up client, I did not log in. Exited client. Waited a few minutes (filled out a job application, wish me luck). Tried opening up client. ?????? Error window with message pops up: "The program can't start because libnghttp2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

What the hell happened? H E L P

Hi Everyone who hasn't figured it out yet... I encountered the same problem, but if you don't want to download off untrusty websites:

Check your C:\Riot Games folder... I have Riot Client & League of Legends folders. The libnghttp2.dll file was in the Riot Client folder and not the LoL folder so simply copy and paste into League folder. You can do this the opposite way too (if it's in LoL and not Riot Client). I think during last update, a couple of the files got deleted. There's quite a few in the League of Legends folder that were deleted (that were there before).

I had the same issue.

Fix: download the Repair tool: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/224826367-Automated-Troubleshooting-Hextech-Repair-Tool & do reinstall, clean install not necessary.

It will install once you got hired. The client detected that you applied for a job, and decided that you don't need the extra anxiety from playing more LoL.

you can download the above file or just run the league installer, point it to where league is installed and it will repair so you can enjoy the toxic wonders of lol once again

I just experienced this. What's going on? Must be from the new patch.
