I would like to post this comment also, I'm sitting with 2 other mates we are running 3 different laptops, 2 of us are using there adsl dodo, and the other is using there mobile device that's optus. We loged off less then 12 hours ago with no issues in game, Im running the old client and my mates the new clients. They are stuck on authentication, one managed to log in once but couldn't see any thing or press play, I managed to log in 2 times with the chat not loading right and really slow, managed to send him an inv but he didn't not get the game inv or see it pop up at all.

With all that said, its not pc based, nor internet provider or firewall related, its a server issue that is affecting both new and old clients. (seeing as I run my pc with out and anti virus or firewall active).

Client message states RIOT are aware issues causing players to DC from their games.

Imagine being able to get into a game lads, that would be the life.

I just had this issue.

[Win10 BTW]

I went to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

Go to Inbound Rules

Top Right of the categories there's a "New Rule"

Select Program

Click Browse at "Create Program Path" - Lead this to the LeagueClient application (The one that's about 4,100Kb)

Then just keep clicking next until it's set.

Restart the client.

Having the exact same issue. After winning a game a message popped up before statistics saying "There was an issue with your connection". It forced closed the game, now stuck on authenticating. Riot pls.

Trypophobia3 votes

Vezical3 votes

I waited a 20 min ban, just to be kicked out of league, VERY angry. Also I would recommend posting this on the oce :)

bayl0n3 votes

Yeah, this has been happening for me as well, hopefully there is a fix soon

SURE0073 votes

stuck on authenticating for 2 hours. when can this issue be fixed?

Stoutly3 votes

Just adding my 2 cents, and verifying what everyone here has mentioned already.

Unable to play LoL, due to authentication time outs.

Originally i was able to login, but was unable to connect to the chat service.

(Scoured this thread, but can't see where RIOT has acknowledged there is client login issues)

Hey Riot, for EU Nordic and East, lol is stuck authenticating, for the legacy beta client. Please fix soon

TheMightyShank2 votes

I have had this problem before and Am having it again...After a lot of searching I am Pretty sure it has to do with network and some misused league file...It's not something Riot can really Fix, Although I would love if they could figure out the issue and show us what to do to fix it because from what I've seen nobody knows how to fix it...As far as I can tell Just Give it time and it should go back to normal...If you want to try System restoring your computer back to when it did work and that might fix it...BTW you can try re-installing it but it doesn't work for most people.

vCNRNdGGyw3 votes

No need to system restore... It's a problem with their servers. It's on their end not ours. Give it some time and they will fix it.

trust me I've done everything And I've had this problem before like a year ago...IT'S NOT SERVER SIDE!!! System restoring fixed it before...I wasn't saying it's the only way just saying it might work for you if you are all out of options

vCNRNdGGyw12 votes

If multiple people in the same region are suddenly DC from servers and can't login. Common sense indicates it's a server issue. Would would a system restore or re-installing the client possibly achieve? I work in I.T tech support. This is obviously a server issue. If your system restore "fixed it" it would of likely been the time it took to restore, the servers were back up.

Cosmonnor4 votes

Dude, it isn't a server issue because I can connect perfectly fine, and I am on the same server as TheMightyShank. It could easily be some sort of firewall blocking a key part of league, or just a bug in the installation of the league client. Many things could be causing this, so don't jump to conclusions and say that a system restore cannot fix this, because it potentially could. And just because you work in IT doesn't mean you know a whole ton. I know PLENTY of "IT" guys who know much less than I do.

TSM AlphaPenguin4 votes

You can connect because your NA not OCE. 2 different servers.

Cosmonnor2 votes

But TheMightyShank cannot connect, and he is also NA; therefore, your argument is invalid.

RootedAdmin4 votes

coughs One guy from NA having a similar issue ... doesn't mean its the same, something could very well be wrong with his PC and theres also chance that he is making that up for attention (which ahaha hes getting.)

So ... your argument is ... oh wait... you don't have one...

TheMightyShank2 votes

google this problem and you will find hundreds of people have been having this problem for years!!!

RootedAdmin5 votes

this problem isn't the same as this problem.

Cosmonnor3 votes

Exactly what I've been saying. It may not be a server issue but maybe a client or computer issue. And he is not making it up, as I am teamspeaking with him and we are trying to solve it without the help from useless people online (such as yourself) who think they know what they are talking about, yet insist on saying that it "cannot possibly be the same because he is NA and not OCE."

RootedAdmin5 votes

Look Cosmonnor ... think about this, one guy is given a broken old small house and another guy is given a modern epic hotel.

Guy number 1 states he does not like the house. Guy number 2 states he does like the hotel.

Guy number 3 says its the same thing because both are buildings.

You're guy number three, oce is guy number 1 and na is guy number 2.

Make sense in your puny mind yet?

RootedAdmin3 votes

NA servers are different to OCE servers.

Find a guy that says he can connect to OCE and the rest of us cant... then you have 1% chance of a point. At the moment... you have -100% (I know you cant go negative... but you have broken the universe with your stupidity)

TSM AlphaPenguin3 votes

^ But again, no need to start calling each other names guys. We all want the same thing here, so lets cut the bm.

TheMightyShank1 votes

Btw I tried logging into the EU servers also And am Getting the Same problem...otherwise i would just play there

TSM AlphaPenguin3 votes

Like I said before, your the only person getting the problem OUTSIDE of OCE. Therefore it might be a computer issue for you, NOT a server issue.

BUT for OCE it's a different story, it's more then just 1 or 2 people getting the issue, it's everyone in OCE.

Cosmonnor2 votes

You have some logic, but you can't be sure. Guy number 1 is given a broken old small house. Guy number 2 is TOLD he is given a modern epic hotel, even though he knows he really has a broken old small house. Guy number 3 tells them both that, maybe they both have broken small houses, but nobody believes him. Does this make sense in your even smaller mind?

RootedAdmin3 votes

I get what you're saying but look guy number 2 IS given a modern epic hotel. The analogy is NA, a different server. It CANNOT be the same because it is not... how can you not understand this???

Cosmonnor1 votes

In YOUR analogy, he is given a modern epic hotel. In MY analogy, he has a broken house but is TOLD he is given a hotel. Two different analogies. I'm merely saying you can't assume that just because a thousand people say he has a modern epic hotel, doesn't mean he actually does.

iJemsie3 votes

Yea, but we're talking about RootedAdmin's analogy right now. You can't just change what he said and change the topic to your 'analogy'.
