followed this suggestion from another thread and it worked:

I just had this problem for ~10 minutes. I found success in just opening/closing the client over and over until the problem went away...? (about 7-8 trys) Unsure how it fixed, but the bug is widespread and doesn't persist every attempt. Best of luck.

Another thread gaining traction about this issue that will be ignored by riot. At least they're working hard to restore RP purchases!

Client is screwing up for me to. It's been happening before this patch and it just started happening again. I just got it working tho I am almost positive it's going to start the error again if I exit client or at least sometime in the near future. I just waited for it to patch even tho it was at 0 with no signs of actually patching anything. Riot needs to do something about this.

I just had this issue with the 9.5 update patch. It was fixed by switching to another region and then switching back to NA. Then the patch finished and I was able to login.

It just somehow solved itself, not sure if i was my doing or riot's. What i did was disconnect my windows profile then reopened it. After that, i opened the league client but didn't click okay on the message box. I was able to use tab to connect my league account even if i had the message box blocking my client. After i logged in, i still didnt click ok, just waited like 30 sec and league closed itself up. When i opened the client again it was fixed. If you are still having this issue, this might be worth a try :p

that link you sent did work for me. when you deleted the line of text in the file, did you "DELETE" the text? Or just use the backspace to remove the line?

I deleted the entire line, leaving no space between the line above/below and when i started it back it up was working

I tried the 'switch region/update/switch back' and it worked. Ty Dispersion~ [sg-ahri-2]

Having the same issue. I ran the HexTech Repair tool and now the patcher loads but doesn't run and the client won't get past that state.... yay. :(

EDIT:

Patcher ran, still having the same issue (locked out of NA). I can access the other regions but when switching back to NA still locked out. Looked for the gameflow-patcher-lock line in my config file but it's not there. Have a ticket open atm.

EDIT2:

Also tried to run ipconfig and re-open as suggested here but still no good.

Solution so far: The only thing that works for me is reinstalling client with hextechtool repair...I did everything else. Hope it works for u!

Run Ipconfig Open LoL Switch to Oceania server Wait for patch to hit 100% (It won't complete) Switch back to NA Log In and let patch complete

Hope that works for you. Worked for me

I thought this was triggered by a whole bunch of services i turned off, it turned out that it was the security settings on my router that i had done a week or two prior.

Here's how i fixed the problem within 5-10 minutes.

Firstly i suggest dropping your windows firewall and restarting league, if the issues persists follow the below steps at your own risk.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Access router settings Via web browser address bar as following.

Rogers: 192.168.0.1

Bell 192.168.2.1

  1. Log on Via default password or set password.

  2. Locate the security tab and set to typical and hit save changes at the bottom of the web page. (I had mine on custom, P2P OFF and IDENT OFF and it would not work, you can always change these back.)

4.Enable Port Forwarding. I'm not sure if this helped as i had it enabled before hand but riot does suggest it none the less, Here's how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=fkxhsxaqkPI

Allow private and public connection to league in Windows Firewall, should be good to go.

I seemed to have a connection issue after starting a ranked game, it wasn't loading me into the match and now I'm having trouble pulling league back up at all... I hope they give loss forgiveness for these server issues

Same problem and when it happens to me I restart client, restart as Admin, restart computer, turn computer off/on, rinse repeat, run repair (several times) and when it finally does get back up and running I disconnect from games. Been going on 2 weeks or so now and ive gotten max afk leaver buster due to dc's. This Bull Sh*t has got to stop!
