Where do you place your Riot Games's folder?

Where do you place your Riot Games's folder?

I only have 1 disk so its "C:\" I got installed 2 Tournaments servers and live. I dont know if this can produce the error

[thangoghd]

No man, I mean your game's folder. For example, My game folder's location is D:\Program Files (x86)\Riot Games\League of Legends. So my Component.json file just added "D:\Program Files (x86)"

[Ayvanm]

i think that i'm not understanding. My games are in "C:\Riot games" and inside there i got 3 different folders "League of legends, League of legends tournament 1 and League of Legends Tournament 2"

"C:\Riot games" or "C:\Riot Games"

[Ayvanm]

C:\Riot Games. I did the default installation

[thangoghd]

I haven't seen these"League of Legends (Tourament Realm)" folders before.

You should try to go to Riot Cilent and find your game's location. Sorry, My Riot CIlent can not switch to English. "Tuỳ Chỉnh" is "Setting" , "Liên Minh Huyền Thoại" is "League of Legends" and "Đường dẫn cài đặt" is "Install Location". I think, maybe (just maybe) these folder "League of Legends (Tourament Realm)" make the program to get the wrong location. Rename to "League of Legends_Tourament Realm" I tried it with myself, the program is crashed.

Currently having same issue. I have tried many different ways to fix this problem however it still gives me the same error code. The download is in the default location on installation so I dont know why there is this problem

Hey there, having the same/similiar problem. New to League Broadcast and wanted to try it out. Fresh Install, just changed the League Install to my correct Folder (have it installed on second ssd D:). League Broadcast crashing instantly when trying to start. It may be a Windows Version problem? Im on 22h2 since my OS is also freshly setup before i considered using League Broadcast.

Is this fixed in the latest update? Try adding the League of Legends folder directly. So the default case would be C:\\Riot Games \\League of Legends, you can also try adding \\ at the end and see if that helps

[NokkedOut]

Unfortunately its not fixed for me in the newest release, if i add the Folder it crashes and doesnt start, if i dont add the folder it starts and says it cant find the install, but if i ignore it and keep starting it, it connects to the client but doesnt show the scoreboard etc. Do you need any logs? Edit: It was working for some time but with the new patch and update it doesnt seem to work anymore but doesnt have to be related

[floh22]

If its crashing the latest crash logs would be helpful, I dont see how the latest update or patch could affect it, so looks like some kind of instability to me

[NokkedOut]

After adding my path D:\Games\Riot Games\ into the component as a separate line or replacing D:\ for example, it only starts for like 1 sec and then crashes. Here is the crashlog and component.json. Crash-2023-02-25-15-21.log Component.zip

[floh22]

Change D:\Games\Riot Games to D:\\Games\\Riot Games.

This is an artifact of json deserializtation and me originally writing this as a prototype and not something to be widely used

[NokkedOut]

Alright, this fixed the crash, but it still says it cant find the League Install. As before when i dont close it and ignore it, it starts and works kindof? It doesnt use the custom images as backgrounds for scoreboard, gold graph etc...

[NokkedOut]

Update, i just moved the game install to the standard C:\Riot Games and now it doesnt give the error when starting. So i guess now i just have to fix the ingame.json and it using the correct images

[floh22]

alright, can you by any chance show the structure of your Riot Games folder? Would be good to solve this issue for others in the future

[ddt442]

Same problem here. shows error but game connected.

C:\Riot Games\League of Legends

My structure.

[Ayvanm]

With the new update the client connects but i wont show gold/min, cs/min, items, lvl, etc

Greetings, I have the same problem and cant seem to fix it. I tried everything and if the program wont crash it will show that it cant find the game. When I click cancel and try to connect to league client it literally crashes.....

[Petkoww]

Ok so I have looked around and the program is literally unstable. It loads sometimes, it connect and then crashes or it crashes and doesnt connect.
