Terminal output (launcher didn't function)

Here the launcher didn't show the Play button in orange : i was unable to play.

This has something to do with a connection between the update server and the launcher. Anyway it's just a guess . What if we can bypass the updates? Something like running on the PC a virtual update server or simply modify the launcher in a way that the play button is always available. That download part is just a list that the game compares to it's own to see if it's up to date...

Same thing here, League of legends launched when I first intalled it but as I was unable to close it in the normal way (LoL window is so big that the Gnome 3 top bar hides the X button and I am also unable to drag it elsewhere thanks to that) so I had to close it with the X shaped cursor. 
Then after that it would not launch at all anymore and after a restart I am stuck on the same problem, launcher is stuck on checking for patches or w/e.

Debugging window in PlayOnLinux shows this line getting spammed like 100 times in a second when this bug occurs:
fixme:d3d:swapchain_gl_present Render-to-fbo with WINED3D_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP

Hey!

I fixed the problem for my self by just deleting every file in RADS folder which is inside LOL instal directorty. Every log and versions file must be deleted and then it will launch good.

In fact I think it's more like a thread/data transfer problem: inserting the +ntdll debugging  channel slows the program (writing things in the console needs time). Maybe the launcher is waiting for a message which was already sent but that the launcher didn't receive at the right time.

You like erasing all things, don't you? Because your method is a bit extreme... And this is only a work-around (by the way I don't know how you managed to launch LoL without the rads subdir, which contains the core launcher), we are trying here to _resolve_ a bug in Wine.

I guess he suggested to remove all rads_user_kernel.log* and rads_lol_launcher.log files, and not RADS subdirectories

I did some logging with wireshark and WINEDEBUG:

When the launcher works or it stops at 33% these URLs get opened:
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/system/rads_user_kernel.exe.version
ll.leagueoflegends.com/pages/launcher/eune?lang=en
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client_config_eune/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/solutions/lol_game_client_sln/releases/releaselisting_EUNE

When it stops at 0%:
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/system/rads_user_kernel.exe.version
l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/solutions/lol_game_client_sln/releases/releaselisting_EUNE OR l3cdn.riotgames.com/releases/live/projects/lol_air_client/releases/releaselisting_EUNE
ll.leagueoflegends.com/pages/launcher/eune?lang=en

Apparently the launcher can't load all URLs when it stops at 0% but it seems to be working fine for 33% (at least with wireshark there are no errors).

Next I tried some logging with wine: WINEDEBUG=+urlmon,+crypt,+secur32,+wintrust,+wininet,+winsock,+text,+seh,+chain

Stops at 0%:

Stops at 33%
http://pastebin.com/L2UM7M4F

When it works:
http://pastebin.com/9ds8JEJi

I did a diff between the log for 33% and 100% the only difference seems to be that at one point the client receives 2089 bytes while in the working launcher we get 1440 bytes + 667 = 2107. I tested it again with new logs but then it was correct. So I have no clue and my logs don't help much I guess.

When I add +ntdll it really works more often. My workaround is deleting RADS/projects/lol_air_client/releases/0.0.0.237/S_OK to force a recheck but still it is not ideal...

Can you say if this is still an issue?

The issue is not totally solved, since it still happens once in a while, but it has been really mitigated for a few month.

It is not a wine bug, as it also affects windows user.Look :

And any google result of "leagues of legends update stuck"



The fix for this error : go in RADS -> projects -> lol_air_client_config_euw -> releases -> and here create a file called S_OK

Then the problem is solved.
