[2/26] NA Login Issues - RESOLVED

#UPDATE 4:09pm PST

We believe that the latest rounds of fixes we deployed seemed to have resolved the issue. We are going to continue monitoring closely, but once the initial login queue is drained, there should be no long waits getting into the client.

Thanks for everyone sticking with us during this! <3!


#UPDATE 3:46pm PST

Fixes have been deployed and we re-enabled the Login Queue. We are still in the testing phase, so we are going to keep a close eye on things to see if anything changes.

More updates to follow once we get a better idea!


#UPDATE 3:43pm PST

We got another round of fixes that we are going to try and deploy out. Unfortunately this means we have to disable the login queue again. For the time being, no one will be able to enter the queue!

Once they are deployed and the queue is back up, we'll update everyone.


#UPDATE 3:29pm PST

The fixes we deployed earlier hasn't seemed to resolve the root cause of the issue. We are currently looking at other possible solutions and are heads down focused.

I wish I could give some better news, but once we have some new information, I'll update everyone!


#UPDATE 2:44pm PST

We deployed the fixes and brought the login queue back up. We are still heavily monitoring and testing to see if this has helped drain the login queue and allowed players to get into the client quickly.

Once we get some further info or confirmations, we'll pass it along!


#UPDATE 2:31pm PST

We are deploying some additional fixes that should hopefully get everyone into the client faster. In doing so, we actually have to pause the login queue. For the time being, no one will be able to get past the queue.

As soon as this fix is deployed (no exact ETA just yet), we are going to flip the switch back on and hopefully get everyone in quicker.


#UPDATE 2:16pm PST

We are currently testing some changes to the login queue that should help get players in smoothly. We haven't pushed the change out completely though. We want to make sure to do a limited test first to make sure it doesn't cause any further issues.

Once we get some results from the test, we'll update all of you!


Hey everyone,

We know that many of you are experiencing a hefty login queue getting into the client. We have been tracking this issue since it started around ~9:30am PST and have all hands on deck investigating and triaging. While we can’t provide an ETA currently, we will provide further updates once we get more information. You can also check out the Server Status Page.

In the meantime, if you get into queue to login, just sit tight and we’ll get you into the client as quickly as we can.

Can you advise at all as to why the que is moving backwards?

I dont understand how it is that you dont feel it your responsibility to make it up to your players when you guys poop your sheets like this. you mike INSANE money yearly on a great game, but you continue to allocate that into just about anything but client/server stability, 'yeah lets make stuffed animals, i bet we could make money that way too!' and i get it, get paid. but when you take away the opportunity to play from so many players why would you not offer like a free skin cupon or even a ward skin. something, it just feels disrespectful. if we have connection issues in a game 'god forbid' we can get leaverbusterd, what happens to you guys when you dc?

When I got home I sat down, and waited. I saw that the timer was increasing and I went to make a snack and cleaned my room (it was messy) . I returned to my computer and was logged in.

There is this thing called patience. [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Edit: As usual, when the boards gets the truth, they down-vote.

Theory: the new app is causing people to appear to be attempting to log in, which messes up the server, causing the login delay. I have no idea of this is a technically sound theory, but just an idea.

So, can you at least tell us if there are legitimately over 20k people trying to log on or is there a bug duplicating logins?

I feel like Riot never gives answers to request like this, they don't really let anyone know whats going on because they would rather us know that they are "working on the issues" and leave links to the server status page with little to no insight on what is actually happening.

I understand that these problems can get pretty complex, but I feel like they think the average summoner is too stupid to comprehend what is going on.

I would be so much more chill if I just knew what was going on.

I don't mind the wait as long as I can play Dominion when I log on.

Honestly, at this rate, Riot should give everyone Ip boosts or a skin or something for this hectic mess. I mean, this is just insanely annoying to not even come back and play the only game that I can play with my friends. It's unfair and they didn't even give a warning to the fact they were gonna be doing this new "smooth" way of logging in. At least a little heads up next time Rito. Or, better yet, turn off the servers for an hour and do the testing then. Not all day and let only a select few on. That's just down right rediculousness.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Edit: I wouldn't even be upset if they had given any prior warning to this. But they just sprung it on us. Literally no prior warning for a 8 hour problem.

Edit 2: It's about time. They finally fixed it nearly 9 and a half hours after the problem was discovered. Can't wait for this to happen again.

Rito you have more money than this.

Why do i get the feeling that toxicity will rise once all the people waiting finally get into the game. everyone will vent their frustations out and since we were all waiting there just might be deaths all around from toxic shock

Meh, EU LCS is on, so the timing is pretty good for a server issue for us. At least we have that to keep us entertained! Hope ya'll aren't bashing your heads against the wall too hard, seems like an annoying issue
