The forum

Hey, 

so I installed LoL again with the help of playonlinux and firs teverything was working really well.

The lobby and the championselect are working perfectly fine.

 

But once I start a game I got a bugslpat error message after the character frame was loaded (not the image itself only the frame).

I checked other threads in this forum and i managed to get this fixed by putting setting "x3d_platform=1" in the game.cfg".

 

Now everything seems to load (although without char pictures or progress bars), but I can live with that.

After some time, it seems to start and I get a almost black screen with only some status text and information texts.

The sounds are all good, but everything besides is all black.

 

Does anybody know what could cause that?

I'm using a farily old HD Radeon 4850 with the distro driver I guess, and I'm not that experienced with linux to install a legacy driver for that one.

 

I would be happy for any clues or help.

 

Thanks in advance and  happy holidays / merry christmas everybody.

 

Best regards.

Full computer specs and debug logs please. Posts without them get locked. :)

Right, I'm sorry for that.

Using the wine version 1.7.19-LeagueOfLegends2 for it.

There is nothing related to the issue in the debugger logs, because there is no real crash or anything I guess.
I have to kill it manually though to get out of the game then, because the menu ingame isn't showing neither.

Try to enable GLSL in PlayOnLinux -> Configure -> select virtual drive -> Display tab and see if that helps.

Did not help, stayed the same.

Does it look like

(lack of S3TC support in video driver)

That was going to be my next suggestion. :)

Alright I got it to work by installing : sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386

After i installed that, I had trouble opening the ingame menu or shop.

I set x3d_platform back to 0 -> x3d_platform=0 in the game.cfg , and that fixed the issue.

Graphics seems to work now with decent fps (haven't tried too much yet though).

 

I have one control issue left, but that only occurs if I use a virtual desktop.

The game is in fullscreen mode within that virtual desktop and I can easily tab out of it.

However, if I refocus it, the controls seems to be messed up, I can barely control anything and the button actions are different.

Any clue about that one? It isn't that of a problem, because if I don't tab out, it stays correct and reloading back into game fixes it too.

 

Thank you Ronin DUSETTE and petch for your help, I really apprictiate your work here. 

 

No problem. As for that issue, I have had that happen in a few apps, but I never found a solution. 

Still have this issue.

Does anybody else have a clue? It's quite annoying tbh.

Remove "x3d_platform=1" from game.cfg and install these.

 

On Mint Linux 17.1 I had to install some 32bit libraries

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn0 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386

If you are using Fedora then

yum install libtxc_dxtn.x86_64 libtxc_dxtn.i686
