#UPDATE 3:12PM PDT:

We are fairly confident that these specific login issues should now be fully resolved. If you are still experiencing login issues, it may be completely unrelated. In this case, make sure to submit us a ticket so we can investigate further.

We appreciate everyones patience while we worked through this!


#UPDATE 1:13PM PDT:

After a lot of tinkering and changes, we believe that we have mostly resolved the login issues completely. If you are still not able to login at this point, continue to post your location (city/state) as well as your ISP here in this thread. We'll continue to have network engineers regularly checking the thread for players still having issues.


#UPDATE 9:33AM PDT:

If you are now able to successfully login, please post your location (city/state) and your ISP. If you are still not able to login, make sure to also post your location and ISP. We are going to need to dig into some individual cases to make sure whether we have resolved this, or simply moved the issue somewhere else.

More updates to follow!


TLDR: We are doing another round of maintenance on the NA Servers to hopefully resolve the issues from 4/27.

Hey all,

The maintenance we performed on 4/27 was meant to patch several bugs on our back-end routing (No, not this, think bigger and more...mutated) with our platform/servers. While we finished the vast majority of the work on-time while most everyone was sleeping, we left a few un-patched devices to be completed in the near future. Unfortunately, while we were shifting around traffic as we worked on getting devices patched up, we actually triggered the very bug we were trying to resolve on the remaining un-patched devices. We attempted to get this resolved during the day, but the fix will required fairly in-depth work.

We’ve decided to perform another set of maintenance again on 4/28. Ranked will be disabled at 12:30AM PDT. Once all games finish and at 2:00AM PDT, we will deploy our fix and keep ranked disabled while we work. We’ll update everyone once we start getting our hands dirty.

So...By this time tomorrow those of us who use WoWway and CenturyLink will be able to hop in a game?

Do we get 2 free days of the first win xp boost, as we are going to miss out on a days worth. Potentially more if the server maintenance is half-assed again. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

I wish I could log into the game, as well. Hopefully that is resolved.

I have but one question: Will my ping improve? Or does this have no relation to the random spikes I have been experiencing recently?

I am wondering this too, I have recently been playing and seeing spikes from 60ms to over 400ms for intervals from 10 to 30 minutes even when no one else is using the internet in my house

Oh dear "12:30AM PDT" and "Once all games finish and at 2:00AM PDT, we will deploy our fix and keep ranked disabled while we work." ... How many of you guys at Riot are going to lose sleep over this? Thanks for continuing to work on this problem, I'm in Minneapolis and for how much I love watching taric's hair I'd Just love to play the game!

So what youre saying is, I wont be able to login or do anything till you decide to get back at fixing whatever the issue is??? Awesome!!!! Thanks. >:(

Once again riot shows how shitty there customer support and thoughts of there clients are. thx for showing you dont care

So... I'm gunna say that maybe... just MAYBE you should stop doing Live maintenance? I mean I'm sure if youd have just shut down the servers at a said time instead of leaving it running and people on. this may have been avoided? I don't know... just seems like everything goes to hell in a hand basket when Live maintenance is being done.

DrCyanide1 votes

Live maintenance is always preferable to shutting everything down for a big company. Can you imagine if Amazon just shut down all of their servers for a few hours to do maintenance? The result would be massive profit losses for them. All of Riot's revenue comes from online transactions, transactions that might not happen if the person has a few more hours to think about it.

Ceurin1 votes

Back before Riot got too damn big for their britches they used to shut down for Maintenance every time they had a new patch coming out. Now that they have a huge fan base they started saying fuck it and doing live maintenance which is an awful idea. nothing but problems come from this. never had any issues before when they'd shut it down. (well super major ones like this) biggest issue we had was the login que where we would have to wait 1-15 minutes to get into the game.

They can choke down their damn pride and do this shit right the first time. when the servers are shutdown.

Also dont compare Amazon to the League THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR SIMILAR in the difficulty of the coding, Amazon is hell of a lot more easier to do.

DrCyanide2 votes

You're literally saying "when Riot was a smaller company, they handled IT like a smaller company." No mature company would prefer to shut down all their servers at once.

So this means if we can't log in now we won't be able to for at least another day??? Okay...item 3070

vladerag5 votes

I feel like i should make a joke about how the guy from "player support communications" is an adc main and thus probably has no idea what support actually entails... but im too angry because i cant play the game.

RiotdArtagnan2 votes

Ooooo, good call-out! Back in Season 1 I actually mained Taric to get Bronze (which was 1250 ELO at the time if I remember) and in Season 5, I mainly played Brand Support to climb up to Gold. So I do know what it means to support! I'm hoping to do it more consistent with the new Taric release though, super effin' hyped!

So, we cant log into the game and this is all that has been said? Century Link users are just SOL? You could at least put a note on the launcher that says "We are aware of some log in issues with users with Century Link ISP, we are currently working on a fix" [zombie-brand-facepalm]

So, just for clarification, will CenturyLink customers not be able to log in until during/after maintenance? Or will you guys be attempting to fix it in the meantime, also?

Still waiting now, I kinda find all this ironic lol

"ok kiddies were going in to fix up ranked!" spongebob anouncer theme So many hours later..... "Welp....So we may have actually made it worse.... We'll get back to you as soon as we are done with our brea cough cough I mean analyzing the issue & solving it."

its a joke, dont flame

lel but srsly, some form of a comment on the current issue would be reassuring that something IS happening RIOT. I'm sure it would put the majority of us at some little ease from this. I have very little time before my son wakes up so fixing this sooner then later would be most appreciated. THANKS!

"We’ll update everyone once we start getting our hands dirty."

Since there has been no update, I think i'm safe to say that you guys aren't doing much of anything about this right now. I get things happen and I'm very understanding, but some of us are patiently waiting, and an update of some sort would be great. I just spent $35 on skins on Tuesday and I'm still not able to even see what they look like in game... please let us know what is going on.

gotta report this as spam cuz i just got back from my ticket and riot isnt doing anything about it, im sure they dont care. for few reasons 1 they said it was on my end 2 never started until they went up for maintenance im getting the run around by riot they just need to make a whole new client if you ask me takes time yes i know but still this is getting dumb i even posted my trace and dxdiag and they say it my end was working 1 day ago before you had to mess with w,e you guys are doing riot so i have the right to be mad summoner 14 Brand sorry for being rude but i never had this much problems with a game before. and from all the video on youtube and in your support stuff seem like you guy just need to remake or fix the client and add a anit hacking/script patch this could be happening cuz of it never know could be one of the guy did drop somthing on the computer hard borad or added a code they didnt need and so on just saying this game has been getting alot of client based problems or problems period :/ would be nice to think of somthing to add it in one big folder and anit hack shield or bugs ,also so that when you wana repair your game that it wont take off the item sets or masteries. :D

I will say despite being able to log in my ping is 35ms higher than previous and I keep experiencing these horrible lag spikes that I never had before. Not sure if its related but I figure I should pass that on.

Finally able to login. NW Ohio CenturyLink

I have noticed though I didn't get an extra days worth of bonus first game bonus XP I missed out on. Also, didn't receive a free chest, key shard, or anything else for my troubles. Bad showing Riot, bad showing.

I don't suppose you sent customer support to century link also asking for a free days worth of internet also? You aren't entitled to anything free and the fact you act like you do makes you look extremely unbecoming. Try being grateful for how hard they are working to narrow sources down to not only specific service providers but people on this board that are actually seeking help, not unearned rewards.
