[RESOLVED] NA 3/23 Games Not Starting

#Update 4:41PM:

We are still monitoring closely, but everything appears to be healthy. We are going to label this as resolved. Any login queue issues should be resolved shortly once everyone gets back onto the platform.

Good luck in your games!


#Update 4:12PM:

The second round of QA testing looked good, and we are preparing to open the platform back up. This means two things:

  • You will be able to log in
  • There will be a hefty login queue at first as we try to bring as many players on as possible.

We have eyes glued to our monitoring and we will be carefully watching how the platform holds up. We'll let you know when we can give everything the final green light.


#Update 3:40PM:

We completed our first round of QA testing, but we still found some areas that were very unhealthy and not in a stable enough spot for live. We still have all hands on deck digging into these issues and trying to deploy fixes.

More updates to come once we get some additional information!


#Update 3:04PM:

The platform is not yet back up, but we have started internal QA testing now to ensure that the issues have been resolved.

We'll provide more information once we get it!


#Update 2:32PM:

We have decided to shut down the NA Servers and restart the NA Platform. Everyone currently in the client will be forced to exit, but those currently in games will not be affected. Loss Forgiven was enabled at 2:32PM in case people disconnected, and are unable to reconnect. By restarting, we are hoping to fix this issue at the root cause.

We'll make sure to update everyone when the platform is brought back online.

#Mini Edit:
We want to make sure we handle the restart by the book so we can get it up and running again ASAP. However, doing things carefully and right might take some time. Sit tight for now, we'll get you info as soon as we can.


Hey all,

Earlier today at about 12:30pm, we identified an issue where players were either getting stuck in an infinite queue or games after Champion Select simply weren’t starting. We immediately started to make some back-end changes to hopefully resolve the issue, but so far we haven’t been able to fix the root cause.

Given the tricky nature of this issue, we are currently looking into multiple different options, including a full restart of the NA Servers. We have all hands on deck and as soon as we get further information, we’ll make sure to update everyone.

This is one GNAR-ly situation we've got ourselves in. Gnar I have had the misfortune of choosing now to try to play League MissFortune This game is a Quinn-tessential part of my practice. Quinn Was going to play League, but it was a vain attempt. Vayne Twitch streamers on the NA servers are dying to get back on. Twitch Talk about being dealt a bad hand. TwistedFate I guess this is bad Karma for being so salty in last night's league match. Karma Ahri-member when the server was up. Ahri The community is beginning to Rumble. Rumble This is testing the Thresh-hold of my sanity. Thresh I've been Bar'd from entering the game. Bard I wish I had the Lux-ury of waiting all day. Lux I think I'm gonna go get a Fizz-y drink while I wait. Fizz This server problem really Jax up my schedule. Jax Sona or lata' The NA servers will be ready. Sona Annie idea of when it will be done? Annie This is like an Ekko of the login queue problem from February Ekko The wait is Draven me insane. Draven This problem is quite Grave. Graves It's going to take Riot some Teem-work to get this fixed. Teemo Eventually, everything will be OK. Rammus There's no Garen-tee that I'll be able to play today. Garen I'm so V-eager to get in and play a match when the server restarts! Veigar

I made an additional mini-update. The short of it is we don't have an ETA right now. We are approaching this carefully to make sure we can bring it back up again ASAP.

Do we have any kind of ETA on when PVP.Net will be back up?

RiotdArtagnan20 votes

Unfortunately, we don't have any exact ETA's just yet. We want to make sure we do this carefully and right so we can bring the servers back up as soon as possible, and keep everything stable.

TL;DR: As soon as I know, you'll know.

I know you guys will do your best, but I'm guessing that login queues will be longer than matchmaking queues xD

Just to clarify on this, it depends on when the game ends. If the game ended before we enabled Loss Forgiven, you may not have been, well forgiven. We try to enable it as quickly as possible, but some games might have been missed :(

TL;DR: Yes.

Hey I was in a ranked game during the shut down and we won the game and after just signing back in I didn't get any lp for the win. (was at 0 before the game, still at 0 now ) and match history has the win recorded there.
