Hi,
Im on Arch Linux 64bit with an Nvidia graphics card and a Quadcore AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor (4x 3.2GHz I think). However until like end of september/1-3. October LoL used to work on this mashine. All was fine (had to use nvidia closed source drivers and downgrade gnutls to 2.10.4-1). But suddenly it stopped working as expected. To be precise: I can log in, I can queue in for a game. If a game is found I can join the champ selection. After the champ selection, when the previous window vanishes and the loading screen should appear, latter just does not appear. I waited few minutes and killed the application just to log back in. It said I can reconnect but it stops at exactly the same step: when the loading screen with all the champs should appear. Im not sure what happened, if its my fault or Riotgames changed something (I remember there was an update). Here is an excerpt of the changes to my system in the time it stopeed working:

[2012-10-04 13:07] To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
[2012-10-04 13:07] support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system
[2012-10-04 13:07] 
[2012-10-04 13:07] PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
[2012-10-04 13:07] To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
[2012-10-04 13:07] 
[2012-10-04 13:07] /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

[2012-10-04 13:07] You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl

I'm running into this same issue. I'm getting absolutely no errors of any significance in the terminal when running the game directly.

If you've been able to find anything I'd love to hear it.

I am having the same issue as well. Any more developments? I have read some information saying that if your host name in /etc/hosts was still set to localhost for 127.0.0.1 this could cause the problem. That fix did get me a slight bit further but I'm still running into the same issue.
