TFT/PBE Login Queue... Is this for real?

CRAYZE·6/19/2019, 10:05:50 PM·28 votes·35,265 views

Anyone else having trouble with login to PBE? 2+ hours of trying to get through the queue. Currently 1h 25m wait time... huh?

You want to know the worst thing? I've been in queue for over 4 hours, when I'm finally at the front to get in..... It just says an "Error has occurred, Contact Riot Games if this problem persists" and forces me to re-log and lose my line in queue....

streamers are the only people that can skip queue time some how, I really think logging in is a waste of time, they literally made pbe for streamers only lmfao wtf rito [sg-janna]

Riot: Struggles to make players log in the PBE, making them wait hours, has to shut down the server for maintenance

Also Riot: Advertises TFT and PBE Signups

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yeah, this is crazy. They should really fix it before it does the same on the normal client.

nearly 30 hours now that it's the afternoon. I'll just wait for it to hit live or keep trying over the next few days. I can't exactly leave my computer on for a day to get in, and this morning, after waiting in queue all night I was hit with the error.

Honestly I don't care about the PBE anymore: this is coming out in a few days on live HOPEFULLY. What a lot of people don't know is that it's not easy to just 'expand' servers for a week long beta.

They don't need a bigger PBE, it'd have to probably be twice as large of a capacity to host all these people that'll be gone in a few days. What I hope they're doing is beefing up the live servers-- not the PBE, in preparation for this. I know plenty of old league friends that don't play much anymore and curious new people that don;t have PBE access that are going to be swarming this mode, and with it sharing ranked live servers, I hope to god they're ready.

I litterally waited 4 hours to log in. As i was finally in, server shut down for maintence for 2 hours. GG

It said 7 hours at first and I was like alright I can just leave this on and let it lag my computer a bit.

Then it jumped to 14 hours and I just gave up.

Guess I'll have to wait an eternity for it to hit the regular servers. [sg-janna]

Why people can log in without queue? Like streamers? I thought its other region login to NA server and we have to wait but why NA players are waiting as well pog?

WitherTime6/22/2019, 12:28:44 PM2 votes

Up to this point, my Queue is about 18 hours... Left my computer on for the last 15 h Queue, only to see that the servers went down for maintenance... i guess it is time to wait another 18 hours...

GetMeowt6/22/2019, 2:12:38 PM2 votes

I have gotten into the PBE twice since tft came out. Since then I haven't been able to get in, queue times are over 20 hours, I leave my computer for the whole day and when i come back after being out the whole day, "server maintanence occured, please restart client" even though I had gotten in :). That has happened 3 times and now I am in queue again. ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY FCKING TFT! [sg-shisa]

I don't get it. They advertise PBE sign up and don't even scale their PBE server up to handle the number of accounts. Riot always says "PBE is just a small platform for the team to test and fix new gamemode before it goes live on main server" and then they go hype up new gamemode in PBE to the point where their client can't even handle the logins.

EduK896/24/2019, 6:42:16 PM2 votes

from what i remember, pbe accounts were not granted to everyone but this seems to be a myth.... 24h+ hours to wait in queue... seems that this is becoming that kind of problem where instead of investing in servers they just pocket income...

Einherjer6/20/2019, 4:20:32 AM2 votes

Wow, I had 1h+ or waiting time in the queue, I restart the launcher (restarting from 0 essentially) now it's 38 minutes queue time... Their login server must be barely functioning at this point. I guess they are happy of the enthusiasm it generates.

JustARandomBoi6/20/2019, 10:14:05 AM2 votes

Waiting for about 2 hours now, approximate time is still 35 minutes... Well then... [sg-zephyr]

Mesmerisation6/21/2019, 9:38:42 AM2 votes

same here, i was so lucky that the server went down yesterday... before i waited like everyone for about 10 hours+ And then i used the chance to play 3 hours straight. This morning i thought "how worse could it be" ... yeah 14 hours worse i would say. This is soooo insane only hope is, that the server will went down again for maintenance.

Just play Dota Uprising until it comes out. At least then you can get the feel for auto chess until the better version comes out.

I think, a good idea would be to make multiple PBE servers and it automatically tries to keep the connections at the same level. Or maybe there are multiple servers and there is shown, which one has the most load. Don't know if this is a good idea, but i have the opinion, that it's worth to say
