[CLIENT] Black login screen

ANinjaGhost·Mar 7, 2015·4 votes·6,597 views

When I try to launch LoL, I can get to the 'Launch' Menu screen, but hitting launch ends in a black login screen. I've tried re-installing the client, and I've tried restarting my computer. I've also have the screen up for ~1 hour thinking maybe it's just having a hard time loading, for whatever reason. Any help would be appreciated. I've added a link to an imgur album.

I can replicate this simply by opening the client, clicking launch, and then being shown this screen.

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)

HOLY Crap This actually worked!!!! Dude thank you so much! I've tried everything to get it to work, even tried to copy my friends game file, and redownload older LOL setup Wizards.
