Regarding the Mac Client Issue: Firstly, if you have issues with Bootcamp, the official Support Page is here. Please check Bootcamp is up to date before using it. Bootcamp is default on Macs so you should have to install it. If you have somehow uninstalled it, you can reinstall it from the Mac OS Disk.
You do not necessarily have to have a legit copy of Windows to run Bootcamp. It's just not recommended as it is illegal. I do not condone this, and neither does Riot.
VMWare Fusion has been confirmed to work. Please follow the instructions that came with the program as I have never used it before.
A separate semi-client is being tested by some people with Mac know-how. If it works, I will inform everyone ASAP!

However, if I sometimes manage to reconnect directly, sometimes the games closes (or I click the wrong button -_-). One It's closed, I can never reconnect again. Never Using PvP.net, the loading screens show up (or I got a black screen) and after some seconds, just closes. Using the reconnect tool does show the LoL logo (as shown when you start the game) and then nothing happens.
Any idea other than throw modem through a window ?
That's particularly odd. Okay. 1) Check your firewall and anti-virus configurations. Sometimes a patch may change the base game code and some firewalls/antivirus programmes won't recognise LoL anymore.
I can play before being disconnected, so I guess it's not this. I just played a game versus IA where the loading screen shut down, and after that, I clearly saw that I've been disconnected from internet, so I guess its what happend any moment internet is failing (I managed to connect back tho). I'll try to run a test (I need to find exactly how lulz, guess it's with command lines).
Try the ICSI Netalyzr to check for basic packet loss and to check if any ports have restrictions.
An all-in one programm, that is exactly what I needed to understand my problems.
Looks like it's not working completely fine (euphemism) : + Show Spoiler +
Major Abnormalities
Your system has an IPv6 address that does not work
Minor Aberrations
Certain TCP protocols are blocked in outbound traffic Fragmented UDP traffic is blocked The network measured bursts of packet loss None of the server's bandwidth measurement packets arrived at the client The network blocks some or all EDNS replies Not all DNS types were correctly processed
My diagnosis is that it is most likely your internet that is causing all these problems due to an unstable connection. If it's a local thing, try power cycling your router. Turn it off, go for a walk for a few minutes, come back and turn it back on. If you leave a router running for a while, it "clogs up" so to speak. But do talk to your provider See if they know if there's anything going on.
I was pretty sure my internet is the problem. My provider is actually one of the worst... I'm wondering also if my wifi card is dying a bit, or the router, it disconnects very frenquently when I run multiple connections (e.g.: watching a stream + refresh two sites, or playing LoL while on Mumble).

Hm. If you're having frequent problems then it's best to contact your provider. Unfortunately, my speciality isn't in these things so I'm not sure what the best thing to do is. If there's specific advise about internet provision and router work you'd like, perhaps Riot Support can assist you in setting up the optimum online experience for LoL. Specifically, they could tell you how to check that you can get a clear connection to the servers and the optimum MTU for your router and the like.
Also this has some to my attention regarding the Mac Client. Legal Disclaimer: I am not sure if this is considered an exploit (it most likely is) but I have posted it here for reference purposes only. I do not condone this method and neither have I tried it. Use at your own risk.

Which one is the scoreboard?
Instructions are posted again below. You need to add in an additional element to the HUD settings file.
Can I modify the size of the HUD elements without changing my resolution? + Show Spoiler +
Go to the directory you installed LoL and go to RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.63 (or the most recent number) -> deploy -> data -> menu -> hud. You want to look for an existing file with the name hud1024x768.ini (or something similar depending on your existing resolution setting). This files contains things like how big your in-game minimap is and stuff. Here you can modify the size of various parts of the HUG.
This is what a default HUD Setting might look like:
The values 1.0000 basically mean to use the default settings of your HUD Resolution. Making this number larger makes the HUD Scale appropriately. So, for example, setting minimap to 2.0000 will make it larger.
At the bottom of the file, add:
[Scoreboard] Scale=1.0000
If you want to make it larger, of course use a biger value than 1.0000 in the file.

1) There's a TL LoL Tech Thread in the sub-forum... 2) Check all ports are open (see Tech Thread for the exact ports and how to check) 3) Check anti-virus and firewall aren't blocking LoL 4) Check it's not an internet thing. Sometimes it takes a while to download the release manifesto 5) If none of that helps, post in the Tech Thread and tell me more about the nature of the problem. (e.g. Is it getting stuck on Part 1/2 or 2/2? What file does it stop at? What OS are you using? What country are you from? Etc.)

I thought only jesse perring could make that happen....
That explains why my Skype has been so buggy recently!
1) Sorry, thank you for still responding 2) Again, sorry. I can't seem to find it, I went through the the tech thread and saw nothing on ports. 3) I disabled my firewall and antivirus and it did nothing. 4) My internet is mega fast, ethernet cable+college internet=jesus. 5) Ok
I am using windows vista 64bit. I have an "ATI Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics" card. I use norton antivirus. I use an HP Pavilion dv6. I have plenty of memory. I'm East coast U.S. on the NA server.
As for the patcher. It gets stuck on riven.mp3, applying patches (same thing happened for talon with the last patch but after a few days away when I came back after a trip it patched fine). 33% of total update, 99% of step 1. After a long period of time it gives me an error (0xc1e9006) saying it failed to download and extract all files.
I've repaired it several times, and uninstalled/reinstalled, it i still broken for me.
P.S. "Useful Terminology I use in this thread
LoL: Leage of Legends. It doesn't mean I'm laughing at you. (Maybe.)"
@ibreakurface: Hey there. Okay, I spoke to some Techies about your problem. Normally that would be an issue with permissions or something restricting your download. But you have antivirus and firewall off, and I'm assuming you have Admin Privileges (i.e. using Admin Account) so I won't bring that up.
Try the following steps:
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
Check everything and click OK.
Go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\downloads and delete everything inside
Go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\temp and delete everything inside.
Go to C:\Windows\Temp and delete everything inside
Delete Temporary Internet Files (See here for more details)
Hopefully that should help.
Also, if you get to 33% and it doesn't move, but no error message, let it run for a while. Sometimes the loader pauses at 33% but it continues to download.
So I figured I'd just ask here since I pretty much have no idea what is going wrong.
I used to play LoL on my Laptop. A couple of years old, Win Vista. I always had ~60 ping to EU and ~220 ping to US, sometimes going quite a bit higher, but that wasn't the norm and usually related to other people in the house using the internet at the same time.
I am in the process of migrating to my PC, Win 7. I installed LoL, had to try a couple of times to get the patcher running (some lol patcher kernel not reacting error), but that issue went away once I got it running once and patched the game. Then I played a coop. I had terrible ping, 1200-2000 for the majority of the time. I tried reconnecting, but I would get "server is busy" errors after inserting my password. I also got this error for the EUW server and when I tried to connect via my laptop. After a restart I was able to reconnect. Ping went from 400 to 1600 to 400 over ~10 minutes. I tried to "repair installation" from the patcher. Same thing again. I'm currently trying to play a game on the EUW server on my Laptop with my PC shut down.
I have a feeling that this could be related to LoLLauncher and/or PandoMediaBooster as those (apparently) don't shut down after I close the game.
I'd like to avoid a full reinstall as my internet is so damn slow. I still have the folder with the installation files though.
I will obviously continue trying to figure out what causes these issues...
Playing on EUW from my Laptop with my PC shut down: Everything works nicely. After closing the game, both PMB and lollauncher are gone from the taskmanager. So I really guess that something is wrong with these 2 programs and I kinda want to fix it without having to redownload everything...
So after some reading, it seems that Pando Media Booster is most likely the reason for these issues (no idea why it doesn't cause the same issues on my Laptop though). It also seems to be useless after installation. I even have to disable peer-to-peer for patching as it actually slows down my download IMMENSELY.
Is it safe to uninstall Pando Media Booster? Is it allowed or does Riot somehow require you to run it?

PMB is pretty much just used for the installation and patching distribution systems. Despite all the scare-posts floating around the internet, it's not actually dangerous for your computer. Uninstalling it shouldn't create any problems afaik. It will remove the ability to patch through peer-to-peer systems, but if you're not using that in the first place it's not an issue.
For actually playing LoL, only the main Client is necessary. PMB shouldn't slow down your computer though since I thought it terminates after the file scan check though. Hm. Well, if removing it improves performance then there's not much I can say. It could be something to do with Windows 7 or the hardware on your PC. Since I'm not aware of any issues with W7, it might be hardware related.
Well, I have a suspicion that most peer to peer stuff messes with my modem in some way.
Anyways, after restarting my PC, PMB started by itself without me touching anything related to it. It does take up some bandwidth and I don't have much of that to begin with.
Uninstalling PMB seems to have completely solved the issue. At least for now.
So I just thought I'd post about the problem I had/have now.
I mentioned this in general discussion since I was blind and Moonbear pointed me here:
I'm basically getting this error: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1246555 Where after hero selection and the LoL logo, the client will just time out and crash. Trying to reconnect almost never works as I basically have a stuck in reconnect problem (where I load 100%, or just crash before that). Really not sure what to do
I'm getting pretty much the same thing. After champion select, the LOL logo will come up, but then just stay there, and I won't go to the champion loading screen. I can't reconnect in anyway. However, if I restart my computer it tends to let me reconnect (though everyone is level 4 at least :S). The part which I don't understand at all though, is that this only happens on the first game of my session. Once I'm logged in and have played a game, everything is fine in subsequent games. I even pre-empted it today by doing a training game, and after that crashed was able to play normally.
I've just started playing from China (on their server), which I assumed was causing the problem. Any ideas on a fix?
EPT
same exact problem. Thank you for the support though
