Hi, I get this error after installation when I run "leagueoflegends launch"

[kyechou]

Hi @S7uX, can you verify if the file ("/home/user/.local/share/leagueoflegends/LOL/LeagueClient.exe") exists? If it does exist, is the script you're using of the latest release? I got a similar error a few days ago and this commit (f9cfda1) fixed the issue that I had.

[S7uX]

Thank you for your quick response! The file exists. I installed the aur package today.

[kyechou]

Ok, thanks for verifying. I'll try to install from the AUR package as soon as I can and see if I can reproduce the error.

[kyechou]

Hi @S7uX, I can't seem to reproduce the issue. I tried on a new, vanilla Arch setup, and the game launched successfully after the install. If you still have the issue, please provide the "/usr/bin/leagueoflegends" script and the log output when you launch the game, with something like leagueoflegends launch | tee launch.log, since copy-pasting may mess up some invisible characters in the log. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your efforts!

Hi @S7uX, so it seems that the package you're using is not updated. The script is of an older version. What's the package version in your setup (pacman -Q leagueoflegends-git)? Hope I didn't forget to update the AUR version. And could you try to update or reinstall the AUR package and then launch the game again please? That should solve the problem.

[S7uX]

It works!

pacman -Q leagueoflegends-git: leagueoflegends-git 0.13.r35.g6aea994-1

After the reinstallation: leagueoflegends-git v0.10.12.r0.gc44d767-1

Warning in German about a downgrade: Warnung: Downgrade des Paketes leagueoflegends-git (0.13.r35.g6aea994-1 => v0.10.12.r0.gc44d767-1)

I think pacman did not want to update your package because it interpreted 0.13.r35.g6aea994-1 as a newer version.

[kyechou]

Ah I see. I did change the version scheme last year to follow the LoL official patch versions when I started managing the AUR package. I'll leave a comment in the AUR comment section. Thanks!
