I'm currently using wine 1.5.18- League of Legends on NA. And every time I get into the actual game, it freezes after a few seconds. I am on Arch Linux x64. Thanks.

Can you run it playonlinux from the terminal, and post the output after the freeze? Also, are you using the script to run/install LoL, or just that wine version?

ati gfx?

try useGLSL disabled from the PoL LoL prefix configurationa and try to switch the windows version to winxp

Which drivers are you using?

Catalyst legacy 13.1

I had exactly the same issue using those drivers, and my GPU is also HD4650.

I am unsure whether there is a known way of fixing this on this card - I looked for quite some time, tried few fixes which supposedly helped with numerous ATI cards, but none worked for me.

I am pretty sure though that it works under opensource drivers. Around 30 FPS on lowest settings, 1280x1024. It does have a tendency to become choppy when it gets heated. You might also try 12.6 drivers - if I am correct these are the last ones which supported HD4000 series. But these will require some tinkering if you run a fresh kernel release. Or downgrading your running kernel to 3.4.

Anyway, I will be trying out the Legacy drivers on my new sys - gonna post what happens.

When I had Catalyst 12.6 back in November of last year, the game played pretty well minus the shop. But ever since I reinstalled Arch, it hasn't been working since.

sad state of poor driver support:(
4xxx series and below are marked as legacy

Yeah. Unfortunately that happens. Although with some proprietary manufacturers more that others. :(

Well I've installed xf86-video-ati instead of Catalyst. The problem no longer occurs. And my framerates vary between 35-45 fps. Thanks for your help guys.

Excellent.
