Hi everybody,
The upcoming patch of League Of Legends will break PlayOnLinux support. The new version will have a new shop interface, that causes problem with current d3dwine function.
The good news is that thanks to iLoL project, we will have a wine patch that should fix this bug when the patch is released.
The problem is that you will have to update your League Of Legends installation. I will give several solutions for that:
[ul]
[li]The script will be updated for people who want to reinstall it cleanly[/li]
[li]A script will be made to update your current League Of Legends installation[/li]
[li]You will be able to change manually your League Of Legends wine version through PlayOnLinux configure menu. The new version should be 1.5.12-LeagueOfLegends[/li]
[/ul]
A big thank to iLoL team, and especially Boompje, who contacted me by mail to tell me about the problem and to send me the fix, and also ramma42, who wrote the wine patch. It is thanks to these people that you will likely be able to play League Of Legends on Linux with PlayOnLinux
Stay tuned for the scripts :)
