I am using Arch linux with KDE and installed PlayOnLinux. League of Legends updated just fine but then once I click PLAY and try to log in it just instantly goes through 3 attempts and errors out with being unable to connect. I've tried WINE version 1.7.24-LeagueOfLegends, 1.7.33-LeagueOfLegends2, and 1.5.5-LeagueOfLegends with no luck. Any solutions? Thanks.

Debug logs and full system specs, please. :)

Not sure which logs you're looking for and where I can get them but here are my specs

Arch Linux

Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.0.3-1-ARCH

AMD FX-8150

16GB RAM

Nvidia GTX 760

Check my signature. ;)

Alright maybe this is helpful.

That's the end of the installation log, and it looks normal

Did you disable tcp_timestamps in the kernel?

Edited by petch

I have not modified anything in the kernel

should I run: 

sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

 

and see if that works?

Disabling the timestamps with the command posted above did not change anything. Still cannot log in.

So are there any suggestions?

I got it working like this:
Copy the Riot Games folder from windows to your linux machune
Run play on linux and install league
select local installer
select lol.launcher.admin.exe as the installer
follow the playonlinux instructions

once it finishes with an error (it will):
League will start automatically - close it
Move the riot games folder into your leage of legends wine prefix pol created

install league again,
This time select lol.launcher.admin.exe from INSIDE the wine prefix pol created
follow the steps through
select OVERWRITE when it prompts you
it will start league automatically when it finishes - close it

Youre done
launch league from inside playonlinux

Quote from cripplebeast

What did it fix, though? Like, what actually changed from a technical standpoint (what files were replaced, was something corrupted, does this work across the bored, etc.)? 

Edited by RoninDusette

Yeah, its a bit hacky but it worked for me and if all else fails it could be worth a go.

I'm merely a simple hacker, i honestly dont know what changed or if it will work for anyone else

Edited by cripplebeast

Ok, but what did it actually fix though (sorry, I edited my previous post to be more concise). I agree that if it works, it works, but if you come across anything more technical that we can use to get a fix that we could automate, though would be awesome. :)

If i happen across anything useful i will be sure to bring it back here

Cripplebeast just to confirm before I do all this. You were having problems launching LoL or problems reaching the login servers and succuessfully logging in?

I can see where your fix MIGHT correct a problem launcing LoL itself but not seeing how it would tie into being able to handshake with the login servers.

I was hanging after the launcher
and before that i was crashing on start

Still having issues. Any other suggestions? Just goes thru 3 attempts to connect to login server then errors out.
