So I just randomly got this error message after a game and then my Play button became grayed out and I was unable to play.

I tried then restarting my client, only to recieve the error message once more, followed by the client then trying to patch itself only to get stuck in an unending loop of error messages.

Riot, please, get your shit together; thank you.

you would think by now they would test the updated before shooting them to live.. just send it to some of their developers laptops and see what happens.. OH doesn't work.. maybe we shouldn't roll it out to EVERYONE

Same error and issue here. Played a couple matches then got forced out to do a patch I already completed, except it won't patch or repair.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this new feature from the patch:

Skins Tab in the Collection See and sort your full collection of skins in one place!

One of the biggest player requests from the client beta finally arrives—and in style. ALL SORTS OF SKINS Sort your skins collection by champion, champion mastery, tier, theme, or purchase date WINDOW SHOPPING Tick the box to "Show Unowned" skins and purchase them directly from the collection MAKE A SPLASH Click on any skin in the collection to see the full-sized version of the splash. If any chromas are available for that skin, you'll be able to see and purchase those as well.

Riot has the efficiency of the U.S. congress, so maybe after my trip I might be able to play again.
