Client Bug Blank right sidebar

Sir Knightalot·1/17/2020, 1:44:33 AM·65 votes·18,615 views

The entire right side of the client is black. I cannot accept games, see friends or even see my own name. Tried to repair client, and it didn't work. I played a game this morning 1/16 so I'm not sure what's changed in the client other than adding the mecha-kingdom landing page. I can send a screenshot but I am not sure how to embed a picture.

Mine is the same way as well with picture in link. Friend says it shows I'm offline when I'm logged in with this error.

Repairing my client and restarting my computer have not worked to fix this issue.

same problem, send help.

used hextech thinger and nada. Also tried making a custom game and leaving it because sometimes, lately, after I play a game my friends list will magically reappear. I've never had the whole sidebar blank like this though.

I have this same issue, my workaround is to make a lobby and manually type invitations to others hoping they can accept.

this and post game chat not working wanted to hear my teammates try to flame and blame me for them losing their own lanes.

TheBellatrix09121/17/2020, 4:03:24 AM2 votes

Yup, same here. Ran the troubleshoot/repair tool with no luck.

Same, on multiple computers.

Last night I had this problem and it said they were working on it so I just went to sleep. Woke up and its still happening the only thing different is there's not the exclamation mark near play saying they are still working on it. So did they think they fixed it or are they still trying to fix it?

Same issue since yesterday . Riot support recommended to update drivers so far only but of course no fix since this is a client issue.

Here is a workaround tho:

  1. make a TFT party
  2. invite via the search option and type in friends name
  3. now you can change game type to anything you want

Not only can I not see the social panel, I can't connect to any chat in lobby and I am even having a hard time swapping champs. (URF) It's so ridiculous how long this shit has been going on for.

Just logged in to bump the fix. As others have stated there seem to be "two" clients..... the old league client and the new Riot Client. People have said to delete the Riot Client folder in the C drive (or which ever drive letter you have the game installed) but if you are like me, I didn't have that folder. If re-installing the game didn't work for you either, here's why:

If you go to C:\Users"yourwindowsaccountnamehere"\AppData\Roaming\League of Legends - you'll see the much talked about "Riot Client" folder there. Delete the whole folder. Then go to C drive or wherever game is installed and launch the league client, it will update the client to the new one.

The client login should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/oXAVy5W

If your login screen does not look like this your friends list will not work!!!!

The only thing that worked for me was reinstalling league cus I still had the old launcher thats what bugged it

I am also experiencing this issue. I have submitted a ticket

Same Issue, My client has been like this for 3 days and its now unplayable. Y'all need to hurry up and fix this. I'm tired of not being able to play.

loubetz1/18/2020, 12:08:44 AM1 votes

Just dropping a “same here” so this gets attention and is fixed

I tried to seek help and they are literally telling me it's something on OUR end and we have to take steps to fix it, but the steps they gave me DID not work! I play this game with my husband and now I can't.

Gaulstabb1/18/2020, 1:09:37 AM1 votes

I am having that same issue to still today as anyone else. Trying to do a full repair or reinstall the client does not do anything to help you. Does anyone have any Suggestions because some of my friends were fixed and they play fine.

Same issue since new patch.....no valid riot response found yet.

CLSBosco1/18/2020, 4:08:43 AM1 votes

I had this same problem too, but after uninstalling and reinstalling league, it worked again. Make sure to delete all League of Legends and Riot Games files from your computer before reinstalling though.

Crestdragon1/18/2020, 4:34:19 AM1 votes

Same issue. Last night the chat wasn't connecting after a couple of games and tonight nothing on the right side of the client at all. Plus lots of ping issues as well, but I don't know if that's related.

PrinceDarkHeart1/18/2020, 5:07:56 AM1 votes

Posting as well to keep this thread going. Same people as everyone above. No sidebar, friends list, or anything. Had the red notification the day before. Today the notification is gone, but the problem still persists.

CarnivalxDusk1/18/2020, 6:54:51 AM1 votes

Can't find a fix either. Been being dragged around by support all day and they can't find what's wrong with it.

JackieChaniels1/18/2020, 10:59:39 AM1 votes

I was having the same problem. I unistalled, downloaded the installer and installed again. It worked for me.

PS: Don't use the same installer you used before. Download the new one from the LoL website.
