Hi,
Im on an up to date arch linux (x86_64). My Hardware is:
* AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 3.2 GHz (quadcore)
* 8 GB RAM
* Nvidia 8800 GT with nouveau drivers

Using the pol script from this site I managed to make LoL install and update. Hence the network stuff seems to work. However, once I enter my credentials it fails with "Connection Error" telling me it fails to connect to the gaming servers and I should check my Firewall settings. I dont run a firewall, theres just a NAT between me and the Internet. Because the update stuff worked and the credential stuff not, I assumed some crypto libraries to be responsible. I checked that I have lib32-gnutls installed and installed wintrust in the wine configuration. Didnt help. Any more hints? If u need more info about my setup let me know.

one more addition: My mashine's system time was 2h ahead. I fixed that but no help to the described problem. I meantion this because on the lol sites I have read that they need synced clocks for their security stuff. Problem is still there.

Actually for gaming I think you'd better go with proprietary drivers for the time being.
Or please someone enlighten me with the current state of nouveau drivers 3D support...

since Im on 64bit and the nvidia propriatary stuff is 64bit too I would need a chroot for the 32bit nvidia driver and wine then in order to get 32 bit rendering support from the GPU. Am I right? As of the nouveau stuff, they provide 32bit bindings so I can use the 64 bit driver in my 64 environment and have 32bit gpu assisted rendering. Just wanted to save the time which is needed to set up an 32bit chroot only for gaming.

Will try to install the game from the testing branch but I actually took the pol script from this website and added in as a "local script" not sure it it makes any difference.

Nope, the proprietary driver provides both, that's what I use.

I dont what you doing or what is going on i dont code. But this is what ive ben using.

Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ 3.00ghz
3gb Ram     

I got that exact error with loggin picture and stuff is the same. I deleted everthing with wine and playonlinux to the max that i could then did the 3 clean comands. Found thy had it bugged that day so i had reinstalled playonlinx witch atumaticaly installs wine for you and installed League from testing got error about glxfo missing install mesa utilities so i went to synaptic packeges in ubuntu installed mesa utilities and hit next on the button then went through everything normal updated patched and logged in that time... And at the end uncheck box to not launch app after hitting the very last next where teemo is on the screen. Very importan they say i guess so hope all that helps all i got.

Hi, I have been away for quite some time but now Im back and still dont have this issue resolved. I installed playonlinux from their git repo and installed LoL by using the installation routine provided in the testing branch of the GUI. Still no positive results.
I used wireshark to monitor my connection and saw, that after I entered my credentials to the LoL login screen, there are several connection attempts which terminate instantly (tcp FIN message). I can imagine, that the traffic for login needs to be encrypted by means of SSL hence gnutls needs to be used. Since Im on x64 and have gnutls for x64 I installed the 32bit libs of gnutls too. Still no positive results. Any idea on how to debug this manually? Like have insigths in wine and maybe strace the whole connection?

Cheers, stas

I too have this problem since switching from Ubuntu 12.04 x64 to Arch Linux x64.

I have the same problem too on Arch Linux x64.
After restarting I'm stuck at calculating differences and can't pass the start up screen.

that brought me through the login but the game now dies when I try to open a custom game. I can select a char and "Lock In". The the loading screen appears and after I finished loading, it crashes.

ok it works now.
I needed to downgrade lib32-gnutls to version 2.x as posted in this thread and use nvidia and not nouveau driver. Lastly I installed all the above mentioned lib32 packages and it works. Thanks for your help.
