Stuck in Loading Screen

This is apparently becoming a prevalent glitch. Occurred once before to someone on the enemy team and just recently to someone on my team(or so they claim). Has not occurred to me anytime recently, but has in the past.

Something needs to be done about it because its put one team at a significant disadvantage when the player is completely unaware that the game has started without them. Note, also, that it shows up on everyone else's screens that they have indeed loaded into the game. As much as I can remember, it also shows on your own screen that everything is fully loaded yet you're all stopped at 100%. Since that happens all the time and you get into the game just fine regardless, it's not like you can easily tell. Usually the fix I believe is to relog, but when you don't know that you aren't even in the game, you can't exactly do that until you've decided that its taking much too long.

As it has occurred with multiple people, no, it's probably not an issue on their end, but Riot's.

Lots of reports, not even a single acknowledgement from Riot that it is happening.

My game has been doing this to me for two days. It went from playing games to being blocked for no reason telling me that I have a problem with a firewall. I have turned all of my Windows firewall settings off, and I do not run another firewall. I have restarted league multiple times. I have restarted my computer multiple times. I have also reinstalled League three times (Once fully downloading and reupdating the game). I have got to the point of trying to start only custom games so that I do not screw any other teams over. This is ridiculous! I changed nothing on my comp.

This just recently started happening to me. I will now be stuck on the loading screen until I get fed up and have to reconnect and then I will lag in with fps as low as 1-2 fps...

For me, logging into the game is fine. I can make lobbies, or start games up to champion select. But the moment that timer hits 0 and it's supposed to go into the loading screen, my screen goes black. After a couple of moments, it will send me a pop up message telling me my internet connection has problems, when it is at all 4 bars full, and crash. The "reconnect" pops up, and when I click, it, the same thing will happen. After crashing and reconnecting a minimum of 3-4 times, only then will I be able to connect properly, followed by constant fluctuation of my fps, and occasional ping spikes. My computer wasn't always like this, so I don't think it has to do with my computer. I wiped out my computer, reinstalled league and upgraded my internet speed yesterday as well. This occurs for customs, normals and ranked. I haven't tried with bot games and dominion though.

This just happened to me the only way to fix it is to relog which i find is BS because when you do get into the game you get a bunch of angry people yelling at you because you where " AFK" which i wasn't

This just happened to me in my last game. I waited, then closed the game client and reloaded and the match had started 14 minutes before. I managed to make a little bit of a comeback, but it was too far gone. When we finished the game, the LeaverBuster popped up liked I abandoned the game purposely. This really needs to be fixed or at least addressed.

Happened to me, too. Got stuck with leaverbuster for it since it took me too long to figure out that anything was up and it wasn't just someone with a very slow computer.

i can't even get into a game, including custom games won't load. was playing just fine in fact just got promoted then attempted to play another game got stuck in loading i thought hmm, maybe it's my pc at the time i didn't reboot in 4-5 days so naturally i rebooted was forced to patch then that's where to my horror my issues began. i'm now on leaver buster priority for (leaving 2 ranked games) due to this and about to be demoted. i've tried multiple ways of fixing it with no success here's the following: disabling iphelper through services, flushing dns, using public dns, reinstalling the game, repairing the game, allowing/disabling p2p connection,deleting logitech files (i use razor/madkatz), port fowarding, disabling firewall, disabling defender & god knows what else im sure i left something out that i did. ( im a moderator/tech support for another popular game) it's clearly not my end. it's the patch!

I just began a ranked game, everything going fine, until the load screen freezes. Of course I didn't know it had, I just saw our Azir was stuck at 32%. I had internet during the whole time, I was even connected to the Pvp.net server since the client worked fine. Yet after enough timed passed, I reset the game, and sure enough, I loaded all by myself. After playing through a painful game, I wasn't going to do anything until a note in the post-game screen tells me to write 'I Agree' to not quit more games. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! There's absolutely no way of knowing you are not loading, yet the game starts without you and then you still get punished? Come on now, at least some indication as to when you dc so you can manually restart and reconnect so late. https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/201823404/en_US-firstTimeLeaverWarningDialog.jpg

Please Fix Riot! It seems like most games get to match loading and it just freezes no matter what I do! I have to exit and fully re log to get back and nearly miss my jungle leash!

i have had this happen 7 times this year. i'm playing my game for hours, then all of a sudden one game wont load. I get a black screen, and nothing helps. i can exit, uninstall. The only way to fix it is to completely reset my computer. i'm going to end up ruin my computer doing it so many times. i run the chance of getting reported and banned, and my friends get hurt because i can't get in game. then i can't play with them for hours, or until the next day. I shouldn't have to wait to play with a friend the 3 hours they are home before bed, then start a game and not be able to play

Happened to me just now, in a ranked game. An easy win game, but I was stuck on the loading screen for 10 minutes, by the time I had the sense to restart the game, it was too late. T.T

I was fully loaded (100%), and so was my team, other team had two players stuck at 61%, and 99% and one was not even loaded.

I've played many games, but this has never happened to me before, but it really let my team down. item 3070

This just happened to me! Riot, i must say, I am very unimpressed! Everything was going fine, my log-in was great my previous game was sick (i got super fed as Katarina and wrecked) I press on play and begin the queue for an ARAM game! i got stuck with this bad baby Urgot and was semi-excited to play him. We got into the loading screen and it was working well. Then, for what seemed like an eternity (even though it was probably 10 min.) i decided to look up "getting stuck in a League of Legends loading screen" and this popped up! I looked at the post and the comments and saw that ya'll said you were stuck at 100% so I thought that this didn't apply to me. i waited and the Yi was still at 22% and the last player n the enemy team was "NOT CONNECTED". after another 5 min. i gave up and opened my Task Manager and pressed end-task on the client. i reconnected and it froze again. i did the same proses and reconnected and I FINALLY got in game, at the last 10 seconds of it... THANKS RIOT #Sarcasm

this just happened to me. and there is no way to fix it. Riot Please Help us. I was in a ranked game and I restarted my computer. I did everything I could to get back in. and nothing.

This has been happening to me, a lot especially in the last two weeks. I haven't changed anything on my computer. It only works after exit completely and restart my league. Then I'm 10 minutes late in game <____> rip. What is life...

Just happened to me in NA, actually, not just me, 3 ppl on my team and 1 person on the enemy team had the same problem, it took me 6 reloggs to get into game, and lee tried the whole time (you see him disconnect from the game periodically). Where's the loss forgiven? At least give us that instead of this -20 for being unable to load in.

This happens all the time in ranked games and i always lose points for leaving the game, fix this now its f***** bullsh**, its not the players fault, its shows on screen its 100% loaded but when finaly "loads"the game already ends for remake, a simple solution to this is simply not start the game untill all playeres are in game

Disnoke3/3/2016, 2:45:28 PM

I am currently havind the same problem the past week or so on the EUW server.
