(RESOLVED) [Aug 23] Patching Errors... for a patch we haven't released yet?

RiotdArtagnan·8/23/2016, 10:53:40 PM·6 votes·6,967 views

#Update 7:03pm:

This should now be 100% resolved for NA. For other regions, we are still investigating a full resolution.

If you are in NA and still experiencing Patching Issues, it is probably a different issue altogether! Be sure to check out our Help and Support Board or our Support Site for help!


#Update 5:15pm:

We believe we narrowed down the root cause of this issue: There was a misconfiguration on the Patcher Servers for players on either Windows XP and Windows 10. Essentially, anytime you boot up the patcher, it checks to see if you have the latest patch. With the misconfiguration, it would instantly pop-up an error message the moment it checks, regardless if you have the latest patch.

We're still heads down working on a complete fix. I'll update everyone once I learn anything more!


#Update 4:05pm:

There is a temporary work-around that works for some players: If you are getting this "unspecified error", make sure to dismiss the error by pressing "continue" and you should be able to Launch normally immediately after without the error popping up again.


Hey everyone,

We've seen a bunch of reports of players getting errors ("Unspecified Error") commonly associated when you download a new patch, but for most players (NA, EUW, EUNE) hasn't actually patched yet.

The correct reaction is most definitely: Da fuq?

We're currently digging into this issue right now, but we don't have much to share just yet. Some individuals on our patcher team initially started to look into it, but as the the investigation started rolling, we've been dragging more and more in Katamari Damacy style.

Once I get some more information from our teams, I'll make sure to update everyone!

I was getting the same error... I was on Windows 10 with the Aniversary Update and I removed it and passed to the normal Windows 10 Version and it worked!! Now im patching and opening League of Legends calmly!! I think this a imcompatible version of Windows 10 with LolClient!!! I hope I helped someone!! Thanks!

Hitting a certificate error on https://l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client/releases/releaselisting_EUW Also, in the logs, there is an error: "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates".

Hope it helps to debug a bit :)

EDIT: Some of my friends cannot reproduce this error. And yes, time is correct on my system.

Ways to deal with this..

My client froze and shut down while in a ranked lobby and now it has just happened to my friend in the next lobby we joined (after waiting the 5 minutes). Is this a related issue? Will we be able to get the LP back?

A line in the code did a crossover to the PBE or became a link towards nothing. Trust me, i know nothing and as such can't go wrong.

Been having a connection error when trying to log in since I installed patch 6.16, would this be related to the current issue that is happening or is this a completely seperate issue?
