The forum

Hello !
First, sorry for my maybe bad english :
I want to play League of Legends on my PC, so I've installed it with PlayOnLinux, and it doesn't seems to work :/
The game freeze just after the champion select screen, and I'm forced to kill the process...

Tried with Wine only, same thing, but with no sounds :/

uname -r :
I'm using Archlinux 64bits
perdouille@ArchLinux:[~] uname -r
3.11.6-1-ARCH

Hosts file :
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   ArchLinux
(Tried with localhosts too, and my IP too)
I'm using KDE (seems to be 4.11.2-1)
Tried to reinstall PlayOnLinux, but doesn't work

Got a I5 2500k with a AMD 7870, and 8gb of RAM
Other games seems to work (Worms Armageddon and UT2004 with POL is working very great, Portal on Steam too)

Debug file from POL :

My Xorg log (Doesn't know If it'll help)
http://ix.io/8Jv

Tell me If you need something else :)

Thanks a lot !

I see a lot of stuff related to network problems, but usually anything that says fixme can be ignored.

Can you pastebin the full running log so that we can see the whole thing? What is the output of these commands?


lspci | grep VGA
glxinfo | grep render

Also, when you start POL, does it give you an error or notification about 32-bit OpenGL not being available or something like that?

@booman: Tried the "opengl" and "fbo", doesn't work... I'm trying to follow your guide

@DJYoshaBYD: I don't have any error about 32bits OpenGL, just a notification : "iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile", but I've seen on internet that it's not a problem.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Pitcairn XT [Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition]

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
GL_KTX_buffer_region, GL_NV_blend_square, GL_NV_conditional_render,
GL_KTX_buffer_region, GL_NV_blend_square, GL_NV_conditional_render,

And I got 3700fps with fgl_glxgears

hmm. Im not sure what happened.

May be an AMD card/driver issue. Did you do the whole guide?
LOL will run will run with newer versions of Wine, but the store will be broken... not to mention the new updates of LOL has broken the store anyways.
We are waiting on another Store Wine release by the Devs to fix that.

What version of Wine are you running?

I wonder what these errors mean:

err:secur32:schan_AcquireClientCredentials Could not find matching protocol
fixme:crypt:CRYPT_RegControl CERT_STORE_CTRL_AUTO_RESYNC: stub

I know secur32 and crypt are DRM libraries, but this game is free, so I don't know why it would need to verify anything?

Yeah. I saw that., as well. It does that for account security. Crypt fixmes will show up, but I have never had them cause issues. AquireClientCredentials looks like it is saying that it did not have a way to get credentials from the user, or maybe trouble getting auth info from their server?

The can think of a few reasons for security, like stopping people from hacking/using exploits to screw with the game experience, hack their servers, and just do all sorts of malicious stuff. Im not sure what that error means, specifically, though.

I'm trying now to follow the guide, I have not followed it before.
I was using the last version of wine, but I tried a lot of version anyway
The game is downloading, 34 minutes left

When you say "The store is broken" : The store ingame is broken or the store out of game ? (For champions / Characters / ...)


@DJYoshaBYD: You are not sure of what? I don't understand, sorry :/


(And thanks a lot you too for helping me :) )

ugh, 35 minutes... that sucks.
You should be able to backup the game files after you download it.
So you won't need to wait 30 minutes again.

err:secur32:schan_AcquireClientCredentials Could not find matching protocol

That error is what I am not sure of. lol. But it wouldnt mess with your graphics.

I looked up both errors on google and there are posts and error reports for League of Legends, but no suggestions for fixes.
Of course I only looked for a minute

Still the same, but I'm forced to remove wininet, else the game crash at the start (Just after asking for login / password)

Strange :/

Couldn't find a fix on internet ... maybe replace the "dll\\wininet.dbg" with one working ? Or install with winetricks ?

is IE installed in that virtual drive?

You shouldnt mix winetricks with POL installs. We dont support it, it can make things worse, and POL functions do almost everything that winetricks does. no need for it.

Dont replace that file. It wont do anything.

Its most likely some of the new issues I have been hearing about with LoL recently. Most likely, these issues will require a patched version of Wine, as this is an actual WINE crash, not POL.

Have you checked on this at appdb.winehq.org ?

I've checked a little bit yes, haven't found anything ...

Removing wininet seems to let me connect again, but now I got a black screen when I connect to a game

Edit: I got a black screen only if I make a "false wine desktop", else it's the same problem that before

When I type my login/password, it ask something like "This SSL certificate isn't valid", and I must press "Yes", else the launcher can't connect.

Thats very strange, I never had issue with wininet at all.

DJ:  yes IE8 has to be installed in a Windows XP setup with service pack 3.
That was the only way I could get it to run.
There is a chance the new Wine 1.7.4 Gecko could run it without IE8, but someone has to test it.
It never seems to be 100% compatible as IE8 with these browser clients like Origin, Uplay, Arc & League of Legends launcher.

Yeah. I have to imagine there are a lot of cryptographic-ish things that are used for SSL and whatnot.

@perdouille - Make sure you have have openssl and opentls installed (or whatever they are called now), as Wine should be able to pass requests like that to your Linux systems SSL stack. It doesnt always work, but thats it looks like.

Strange, I've never had to mess with those

It depends on what the program uses with that stuff, how that particular version of wine handles it, the version of the crypt. stuff on the linux system, etc.. That program may use a feature of that stuff that is not implemented in Wine yet, or is the victim of a regression. Im kind of just guessing, throwing out some ideas.
