[CRASH]- Black Screen after champion select in all game modes (MAC)-Patch 6.2/Sona-Bug related

Pandantics·1/30/2016, 6:50:50 PM·8 votes·33,980 views

I tried to spectate a game before realizing there was a Sona in it. After I quit spectating that game, I tried to play an ARAM myself and everything was fully functional until I got to the loading screen post champion select and after that I just got a black screen. I tried to restart my client, I tried to wait it out, but nothing worked. I've tried making custom games on both Summoner's Rift and ARAM, and I keep getting the same black screen no matter what. I think this has something to do with the Sona bug, but it sucks that because I tried to spectate a game with the Sona bug in it, I can no longer play LoL. Rito please fix :C

Tl;dr:

Issue: Game won't progress past champion select. All you get is a black loading screen.

System: MacBook Air -OS X 10.9.5

Reproduce: Spectate a game with Sona in it, and you won't be able to play any game on LoL after that no matter how many times you restart your client.

Other: Looking on other message boards, it looks like reinstalling the game doesn't fix the issue either. Before spectating the game, Patch 6.2 still worked on Mac (still let me play games).

Since Riot isn't doing much about it, here's a temp fix; mash enter or enter+delete+space when your screen is black. Within 10 seconds you should see the background and character splashes as usual.

Yep same thing for me… looks like I'll get another afk ban

EDIT: This happened following a game with a Sona, not spectating a game with Sona

I have the exact same problem... but i got windows 10. I am confronting this issue since a week. I tried all possible solutions, since alot of other people having or had the same Problem. I tried reinstalling, resetting router, repair, fire walll off and alot more... And i also tried the one method that somehow worked for alot of people "pressing enter/space/delete Bottom after getting a black screen". Nothing worked for me!!!

Please help me and thank you.

I can't seem to connect to the game at all after champion select, AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN OR PLAYED ANY SONA GAMES! I've tried everything I can think of including a full reset, but it just can't seem to "connect to network" and asks me to check my connection. This is happening after that little note at the top of the patcher/game window is gone so now I'm thinking that maybe their "fix" really may have broke something. Also I had a game earlier today before the fix or whatever, and things were working just fine aside from my F hotkey not responding unless I really mashed it. P.S. Forgot to mention I'm playing on a acer laptop under windows 10 I believe so maybe not just a mac problem.

Hey! Good catch with connecting the issue to the Sona bug, I remember trying to watch a friends game who had a Sona in it just before this started happening. The spacebar+enter+delete method seems to be a good temporary work around.
