[Client] Messenger displaying messages out of order

TouchpadExpert··4 votes·2,537 views

Ever since 2 patches ago I have been having issues with my messenger inside the league of legends client. Where my responses, instead of appearing below my friends responses, they appear in the middle of the page. It makes following conversations very confusing to look at.

Here's what it normally looks like: (12:00) Me: Hey (12:01) Friend: What's up? 12:02) Me: Want to join me for a game? (12:03) Friend: Sure, send me an invite. (12:04) Me: Ok, sent. (12:05) Friend: Who should I play as this game?

Here's what the exact same conversation looks like under the current circumstances: (12:04) Me: Hey Want to join me for a game? Ok, sent. (12:05) Friend: What's up? Sure, send me an invite. Who should I play as this game?

As you can see the conversation needs to be kept short or otherwise I am unable to see my responses on the page. That and the time stamp is misrepresented. This isn't a major deal but with me being anal retentive about whether or not I made a typo after I pressed send it gets to be annoying having to scroll up and locate my previous posts. Is there a way I can fix this on my own or do you guys have to fix it on your side of things? Or is this an intended change and I'm just too oblivious to this being the mainstream way kids message one another?

I'm having that problem too, my messages appear with the correct time stamp and where I would expect them to be. But 2 different friends (at least two of them in different subsections of the friends tab) have their messages appear above mine. I think part of the problem is that their time stamp is messed up as well, its coming in 3 hours early.

I also noticed that a few days ago I had to adjust the clock on my computer by I believe it was 3 hours, so this may have something to do with the issue. In any case, this might be something that needs to be looked at; the client takes the correct time for my messages but severely delays incoming messages.

This isn't guaranteed to fix the issue but try resynching the clock on your computer.

If the problem is happening with more than an hour difference in times being listed this may have to do with an incorrect time zone being selected and people who have manually changed their clock to account for it.

If thats that's the case look into finding a correct time zone and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise you'll have to wait for a riot fix.

Interesting idea, but not actually solving my problem. I did notice that all of the places where my computer was automatically syncing with internet time was syncing it back by 3 hours, which is exactly what league is doing with incoming messages. Outgoing is taking the correct time without a problem.

And just in case there is confusion, the time zone my computer is set to is (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada). So either my windows is kinda messed up (wouldn't be suprised) or something really strange is going on.

just to be clear you say that when you synch your clock it sets it back 3 hours? that would imply that its setting it to the time that league is registering, which would be making it correct.

or maybe im misunderstanding, in which case......

in order to synch your clock do the following:

if on windows 10, right click the clock -> adjust date/time -> scroll down to related settings and click the "additional time,date, and regional settings" link -> click the "set the time and date" link -> go to the internet time tab and click change settings

Pacific time is currently 7:37 is that which time is on your clock right now?

EDIT: His problem was fixed by changing his time zone. He had manually changed his time.
