League of Legends

This is the snap for leagueoflegends, "leagueoflegends is a MOBA game developed by Riot Games". It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.

Mandatory

Note: This is for current users that have upgraded league snap as of 29 Sep 2020.

• You have to use (script) before login in new launcher. (See Post)

• Create fresh WINEPREFIX in case you have issues and see pinned issue Important Notice for guide.

Install

snap install --edge leagueoflegends
snap refresh --candidate wine-platform-runtime
snap refresh --candidate wine-platform-5-staging

Optional

Users can update wine-platform-runtime snap which has updated pkgs like mesa, llvm, amd,intel, drivers from obif ppa that can support newer AMD gpus and newer changes.

snap refresh --beta wine-platform-runtime

(Don't have snapd installed?)

Known Issues and fixes for them:

Game not starting (Unhandled exception and MIDIMAP_drvOpen in lol ver 9.21):

Issues with the new launcher. You can temporarily disable it this way:

1. Let the game fully install and update.
2. Make sure client is not running.
3. When you have fully updated game then run this command on terminal to block new launcher from executing.
4. After this command launch game as usual. I'm not sure how longer this method will work. NOTE: Before executing this command make sure launcher has installed new launcher update. for f in RiotClientServices.exe RiotClientCrashHandler.exe; do sudo chmod 0 "$HOME/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c/Riot Games/Riot Client/$f"; sudo chown root:root "$HOME/snap/leagueoflegends/common/.wine/drive_c/Riot Games/Riot Client/$f"; done

Game crashing after character select (lol ver 9.20):

Refresh the wine-platform-runtime with:

snap refresh --candidate wine-platform-runtime

Eventually reinstall the game and the game-snap with:

snap remove leagueoflegends && snap install --devmode --edge leagueoflegends

Game won't install (and will crash instead):

The emulated version of Windows is probably set to Win7 in wine (it will change back to Win7 after reinstallation of the league snap). Change it to Win XP by running:

leagueoflegends.winecfg
