League client doesn't start.

[colonnezi]

When i've installed it took 2 or 3 tries to open the game but now only the riot client starts. the league client does not, it show the league of legends icon and then closes itself.

[mmtrt]

update snap and retry again.

[sfxworks]

current rev of league snap is 142 you have old rev, it needs to be manually upgraded by user.

[sfxworks]

Where do I find the latest revision manually? If this is manual updating: https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date then I get nothing new

snap refresh
All snaps up to date.

[mmtrt]

snap refresh leagueoflegends --devmode

[sfxworks]

Ah thank you

[ReverseSage]

it takes about 8 or 9 iterations for the client to start for me

[colonnezi]

yeah i'm not get consistency on launching.

[ReverseSage]

@mmtrt can we fix that ?

Test new version, before launching game do below steps,

snap refresh leagueoflegends --devmode --beta

• Now we have to rebuild wineprefix b/c of new wine version, we move game folder to home directory this step saves time of redownloading game again,

cd ~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c/

mv "Riot Games" ~/

cd ~/snap ; rm -rf leagueoflegends

• now run snap with snap run leagueoflegends wait till region selection dialog shows then close it and move game folder that we moved in home back to wineprefix

cd $HOME ; mv "Riot Games" "~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c"

Then play as usual.

if any issues then try installing dxvk with this command leagueoflegends.winetricks dxvk

[ReverseSage]

Tried all of that but the in game still doesn't work

Done all that and got a new error.

---

Ok i don't really know what's goin on as i'm newbie on linux but wtf after the error i've showcased client opened as normal and with the icon on linux bar

[colonnezi]

New error: Client opens but ingame no more. Ok, client opens as a black screen as showcased above. As i have muscle memory of login screen i'm able to log on and then riot client works as intended. Client apparently is opening in first attempt, but now the match doesnt load. The game window doesn't open. update: client is working as intended on nvidia optimus launcher, but ingame window still doesn't load

[sfxworks]

As of today im also experiencing this. I can't launch league of legends after the initial client and hitting play.

[sfxworks]

I tried

snap refresh leagueoflegends --devmode --beta
snap refresh --candidate wine-platform-7-staging-core20

And now I don't even get a client

this gets me a working launcher and client

you mean ingame? game loads?

[mmtrt]

@colonnezi @sfxworks found fix for ingame issue is that I forgot to remove lavapipe icds causing vulkan loading issue from actual driver icds from runtime core20 snap that I did on older runtime snap ~I remember this today but sadly my HDD died again today had login export of snapcraft so without that runtime core20 snap upload is failing due to that.~

[mmtrt]

@sfxworks @colonnezi Try again with updating runtime snap refresh wine-platform-runtime-core20 should fix ingame issue.

[colonnezi]

Terminal is reporting that it doesn't have available updates

my bad used wrong snap name check post now.

check snap info if rev is 57 then try game again

snap info wine-platform-runtime-core20

[colonnezi]

I think is the 56, i'll try to update again and report

[colonnezi]

Game's still not working; Client starting flawlessly.

[mmtrt]

send log snap run leagueoflegends

[colonnezi]

[mmtrt]

you have broken install same issue as @MagdyA had

[colonnezi]

lol, how do i make a clean reinstall then?

[mmtrt]

try repairing client if that not works then snap remove --purge leagueoflegends

[ReverseSage]

you have broken install same issue as @MagdyA had

Since the patch you made worked I haven't updated and afraid to do so.

[colonnezi]

try repairing client if that not works then snap remove --purge leagueoflegends

i've purged the files and will try to reinstall. should i purge also the wine platforms?

[mmtrt]

no they don't retain any userdata.

[colonnezi]

ok the game is back to running again, but i think i've moved back to square one as the riot icon is not appearing on the ubuntu bar and client is taking a long time opening

[mmtrt]

did you install league snap from edge again?

[colonnezi]

i've used snap install --edge leagueoflegends

[mmtrt]

you installed old version of league snap that uses wine staging 5 with lolfix wait script. Currently testing version is in beta branch

[colonnezi]

ok i'll try to update to beta version with snap refresh leagueoflegends --devmode --beta and report back

[colonnezi]

after update client is not launching anymore. Here's the log

https://paste.myself5.de/ewiquzixok.sql

[mmtrt]

needs new wineprefix see https://github.com/mmtrt/leagueoflegends/issues/223#issuecomment-1466186383

[colonnezi]

needs new wineprefix see #223 (comment)

i'll try again but after this that my game started not opening

[mmtrt]

idk why its not working for you, try clean install again with beta now.

[colonnezi]

so i got the same error i've got last try: tito@SIVRAJ-V0:~/snap$ cd $HOME ; mv "Riot Games" "~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c" mv: não foi possível mover 'Riot Games' para '~/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c': Arquivo ou diretório inexistente It's portuguese for file or directory nonexistent. when i've did this last try, i've moved the folder manually

[colonnezi]

Here's full log of terminal: https://paste.myself5.de/eyagosazim.coffeescript

[mmtrt]

maybe you are doing steps wrong, use clean install with beta I'll suggest that or just use old version if not working for you. I'm out of ideas now.

[colonnezi]

i'll try downloading the game again and report back.

[colonnezi]

ok, re-downloading from 0 worked. Thank you all for your patience.
