Riot... get a new client. Yours has been complete shit for years.

Sincerely,

Everyone.

p.s. my files won't even start scanning. Your client messes up nearly every week. No other professional company has as many issues as you do.

If you wanna fix it, heres what you do, It takes a long ass time, but its less time than re-installing and it's better than being forced to quit. Open your File Manager, go to your C Drive. Then, click on the 'Riot Games' Folder. Then click on League Of Legends, then RADS. After that, click on the 'lol_game_client' folder. Then, delete the file titled 'filearchives'. Then, open up your client again, and commence the re-patch! Hope this helps you guys :)

You need to go to the RADS folder than inside that folder you go to the Projects folder and it is in there.

95,000 files scanned and 3 days later, it is still scanning....

RiotLiL Batman12 votes

Hey Goilo,

I'm sorry for the pain you're experiencing. There have been more hotfixes than usual this week which is why scanning is constantly being triggered. Restarting the patcher will actually slow down the patch because the patcher will have to rescan your files to pick up where it left off. This is totally normal and could take some time (up to 20+ minutes). Also, if your hard drive is almost at capacity, this could slow down the download as well as the applying patches process. Clearing up some old data on your machine and restarting the patch could speed things up although it still may go through the "scanning files" process.

If you could send me your logs that would help me out tremendously. A 33% issue can really be anything but everyone in this thread seems to be having similar issues so the more logs I get, the more likely I will be able to track down the root cause. You can upload them to Drop Box or Google Drive and PM me the link. (make sure to make the link public)

How to obtain patcher logs:

  1. Launch Patcher
  2. Press on Help Icon ("?")
  3. Press save logs
  4. Upload to Google Drive or Drop Box
  5. Share link with me

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7iRHCj03JXCSk5LbXZZX2tjLXc&authuser=0 if your go to excuse for a faulty patcher is " reinstall your client " that's on the other tens of threads of hundreds of people having the same issue then there's a problem, and when this happens all the time and no one tries to fix it that's a bigger problem. i don't want to sit though 2 days of scanning for a patch that should take a few minutes, and i don't want to have to reinstall hours of stuff just to re download the actual game. and that support link you send, i'm pretty sure that hasn't helped a single person with any issue they ever had, saying things like " switch to a hardwired connection" really? but i guess skins are more important to get out and ignoring champs that need buffs and just nerfing anyone who isnt in riots fav 5 Annie Katarina Leblanc Nidalee Riven *cough cough

I reinstalled and still have the same issue! - LOL stuck at 33% calculating differences. This game is buggy as hell. Does Dota 2 have these same issues?

  • my client crashed in the middle of a new rank game because of the scanning im hoping someone would look at this and not count that game cause i played a game before and all my files were scanned and there was nothing wrong with them but once my second game started it crashed because it said there were corrupted files so yeah

holy shit riot wtf? now i have to patch 3 gigs of data common

SumGneissSchist2 votes

To whom it may concern,

So I tried one of the fixes here, and I then proceeded to see if it worked. IT DID!! or not... My launcher stopped scanning files after about 10 but then proceeded to download 3 Gigs of data. This was a minor patch. I was in curse call with my friend and he was able to get the patch in less than 3 minutes where as I took 5 to get through the first stage(up to 33%). My Laptop is much newer than his and I have a much stronger hardware/Internet connection, so it really makes no sense to me why this is happening. It just doesn't make sense why Riot, a REAL company, that makes REAL money, that has REAL employees, that get paid REAL money, can't make a REAL game. REAL games work for the consumer, which by the look of this discussion obviously isn't true about League of Legends. Please give us a fix that works, that wont require more than basic knowledge of computers to fix. I work in IT and I figured out how to get rid of old unnecessary files well before I went digging on this thread, but that isn't a fix that people with minimal knowledge should have to use to enjoy a "free to play" game that they have probably spent way too much time and money on. Please just fix it so this wont be a problem in the future, because its been more than a year since you've know about it.

Thank you,

A Concerned Summoner

This sucks, I waited like an hour and a half for the patch to get to 12,419 files scanned, and then it came up with an error that says "Unspecified error occurred. Please check the logs for more information." So I pressed retry an It started me back at 0 files scanned. Then after 300 files it had the same error message, so I tried it again. same thing, 4 times in a row. Wait sorry make that 5 it just did it again. Any Idea on how to fix this? I tried repairing it and doing X2Chimes Idea but that didn't work either. Please help me fix this. 6 times now.Amumu
