Teamliquid League of Leagends Tech Support and FAQ Thread
Hi there. This thread is designed to be the general purpose thread for any tech stuff for LoL-ers on TL. I'll try and keep this up to date as much as I can. Please keep in mind I am not an employee at Riot (a Red) nor am I a Wrenchperson (an Orange). I am now a Wrenchperson on NA and EU!  This thread is not an alternative to submitting a Ticket to Customer Support. If you really have a severe problem with your client, don't ask me to fix your client.
Support Tickets can be submitted to Riot here.
If you have any suggestions for extra stuff to add to this thread, feel free to post something and if I think it's relevant I'll add it.
Most of the information here is designed to be used for people playing on Windows and on the NA/EU servers. I have included some information for those playing on Macs and for those who wish to play on the Garena/Chinese servers though.
Current Known Bugs (Patch 1.0.0.144: Diana)- There is currently a rare bug with both Meowkai and Poppy.
The following is some terminology you may or may not know. This is aimed at newer players more than anything else.
Useful Terminology I use in this thread
- LoL: Leage of Legends. It doesn't mean I'm laughing at you. (Maybe.)
- Riot: Riot Games is the company that created LoL and manages the NA and EU servers.
- PvP Client: The all-purpose LoL Client you use to play LoL.
- Log File: Every time you play a game or access the LoL servers through the PvP Client, your system will create a file that logs the details of what happened. This is used for diagnosing and fixing problems.
- RADS: The new system used by the PvP Client to patch and manage your game.
- NA: North America (generally refers to servers or players)
- EU: European (generally refers to servers or players)
- QQ: Does not actually mean rage. QQ is an online service offered by Tencent, the distributor of LoL in China the the company that bought Riot Games. QQ.com is massively popular in China.
- Garena: South East Asia (generally refers to servers or players). Can also mean the company that manages the distribution and publishing of LoL in South East Asia.
- LiquidParty: The TL Group on LoL. Does not actually mean drunken parties and dubious activities with various liquids.
Terminology not tech related but you should know anyways
- Huehuehue: How you should laugh.
- TL: If I have to explain this to you, I'm not sure why you're on this site. But it means Teamliquid.
- Starcraft II: A game that apprently takes more skill then LoL and is more deserving of being an e-sport according to many people on this forums. But HotshotGG drama is more entertaining.
- OP: Overpowered. Every champions you don't play.
- UP: Underpowered. Every champion you play.
- Buff: Can mean either an increase in power from a balance patch or a boost that can be gotten in game from neutral monsters. You champion always needs more of both types of buff.
- Nerf: A reduction in power from a balance patch. Everyone else's champions need one. Always.
- FOTM: Flavour of the Month. The latest most popular "fad" in LoL. Generally the latest popular OP champion. Not actually the ice cream flavour on special this month at the local cafe.
- Shikyo Memorial Thread: All rage about bad teams in LoL and stuff should go here.

Part 1: Getting Started and Installing LoL
This section contains information for people who are interested in playing LoL and want to know more about the game tech-wise or for existing players who may be interested in other servers or recently bought a Mac. It is not meant to be a newbie guide despite covering a lot of basic details. If you are a new player and want advise that is not tech related, you are better off looking for help elsewhere. The General/Off-Topic Thread is a good place to try.
IMPORTANT: When installing LoL, do not use directories or file paths that use non-english characters as the game may not recognise itself as a result. (So don't use things like ấǽǿǘṹ in your folder names.)
What system requirements do I need to play LoL?
+ Show Spoiler +LoL is designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. This means that most machines made in the last few years can probably play LoL, unless they're one of those netbooks that were only designed to run Office and IE. You may need to turn down the graphics options to do so though. This shouldn't detract too much from the gameplay unless you zoom in however.
Specifications-wise, it is recommended you have at least 2.0 Ghz Processor, 1GB RAM and DirectX 9.0 capable video card but I do know of people who have run LoL on less (but it may lag).
As an online game, you will also need a functioning internet connection. As a rule of thumb, if you can load Youtube videos without much problem, it's good enough for LoL. Do be aware you might get occassional lag spikes though.
My internet has a data cap. How much internet bandwidth does LoL require?
+ Show Spoiler +Generally speaking, each game of LoL takes around 10MB of bandwidth (unless things have changed). If you are not in a game and your client is idle or you are chatting through the client chat system, there will be some minor traffic in the background but not much (a few kb every second, sometimes not even that). Do be aware that there may be additional overhead that can vary depending on your ISP Provider.
I am colour-blind. Is there support for people like me?
+ Show Spoiler +Patch 1.0.0.132 has introduced colour modifications that help red-green colour blind players! This means that modding is not completely necessary depending on your colour-blindness. For those at require further support, there are community made mods that can be installed. See Part 3 for more details!
I want to play on more than one server. Do I have to download more than one client?
+ Show Spoiler +It depends. Thanks to Patch 1.22 you now only require one client for playing on either the NA or EU servers. The Garena and China servers however will require their own individual clients as these are not managed by Riot games but are managed by seperate companies. The NA/EU combines client can be downloaded here. The Garena Client can be downloaded here. The Chinese Client can be downloaded from the Tencent QQ LoL Homepage. Do be aware however that in order to create an account on the China Servers you will need a People's Republic of China Social Security Number. In other words, you will need to be a chinese citizen or be really good friends with someone willing to give you their SSN. There are ways to get your client to access more than one server. See Part 3 for details.
I want to play on more than one server. Will I need more than one account?
+ Show Spoiler +Yes. You will need an account for each server you play on. Currently there is no way to transfer accounts between servers.
What is the difference between EU East and EU West?
+ Show Spoiler +Due to the huge number of players on the EU servers, Riot decided that the EU servers needed to be split in order to cope with the constantly growing userbase. Thus, they partitioned the servers based on geographical location of EU players.
Practically speaking though, the only difference between the two servers is who plays on them. They are otherwise functionally the same. Most of TL EU Liquidparty is on the West server however.
Are there going to be any other server locations? I don't want to/can't play on NA/EU/Garena/China.
+ Show Spoiler +Korea Servers are up and online now. Yes, more servers are coming to other places such as Korea soon*.
* Soon is used as a reference of time pretaining to some time in the future and should not be taken as an official Riot position that this feature may or may not be coming any time in a specified and certain time frame in the future. The above poster also makes no guarantees and gives no ETA either. For more, please contact Riot Customer Service for more details on how ambiguous the word "soon" means.
Great! So how do I start playing?
+ Show Spoiler +First, go to the LoL Homepage and create an account. This will be the username and password you use to log into the PvP Client. You can however ask people here on the TL Forums for a Referral Link. It functions the same as the Create an Account link on the LoL Homepage, but the person who refers you gets some nice freebies for doing so. Feel free to PM someone from this sub-forum for their referral link. Once you have created an account, you will be presented with the download link for the client installer. Download the installer if you have not done so already and instal LoL. The other alternatvie is to buy the LoL Retail Edition Game Pack from places such as Gamestop (NA Only I believe). This will come with a CD which you can use to install LoL without the need to download files.
How does the LoL Installation and Patching Process work? What are all these other things like Pando Media Booster?
+ Show Spoiler +When you first open the LoL Installation Program, it will prompt you to install Pando Media Booster. This is a program that is used to help the LoL PvP Client handle data. Some anti-virus programs might flag it as suspicious though. Don't worry about that though.
Installation of LoL from the installer will mean downloading up to 1.5GB of files from over the internet as these files are not contained in the installer. Do be aware this may take some time and needs to be uninterrupted.
I want to play on a Mac. Can I do this?
+ Show Spoiler +Please note that the Mac Beta has been closed by Riot. Details regarding this are below. I have answered questions regarding this from Page 3 onwards of this thread. How can I continue playing LoL on a Mac? Method 1: Installing the Windows Client+ Show Spoiler +One way of playing LoL on a Mac is to use Bootcamp or other similar software (such as VMWareFusion and Parallel). I am only familiar with Bootcamp and it comes with all Macs. Also, not all of you Mac users here on TL may own other software so I will only explain how to use Bootcamp to play LoL on a Mac. These instructions are courtesy of Boompje, the Mac expert amongst the Wrenchies. You will need: - Your DVD of OS X (doesn't matter whether it is Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion)
- Get a working copy of Windows
- A burnable CD (700MB) for Windows XP or a burnable DVD (4.7GB) for Windows 7. You can burn the copy of Windows to as an ISO but if you know how to do that, you probably don't need instructions on how to use Bootcamp! ^^
If you just want to get Windows running to play LoL, then Windows XP will probably be the best choice. If you want to play around with Windows for other stuff and have good hardware, then Windows 7 is worth a look. Burn Windows onto the CD.Then launch Boot Camp (Applications - Utilities - Boot Camp Assistant). Insert the burned CD. The Boot Camp Assistant will guide you through. As soon as the installation is done, insert your OS X DVD and install BootCamp Tools. If I install Windows, what if I get viruses or other malware?One fun thing about Macs is that if you get a virus on the Windows part, just remove it completely and reinstall Windows. Problem solved. When you partition the disk to install Windows, it separates the Mac and Windows parts so there's no risk of contamination. Also, Windows Viruses won't work on the Mac OS anyway because they're not made to run in UNIX.  Is there any other way to get a full proper client on the Mac (i.e. no Windows?)?This is being looked into. I will post when I get more details. One of the Wrenchies, Boompje, has created and maintains a standalone Mac Client that is currently in Beta. Details and download can be found here. It's pretty neat and Boomjpe is an awesome guy. Please do donate if you like it! What is the RP Refund?
The RP Refund is an option for Mac users to have all RP Purchases refunded to them. This will however close your account. This means that if you come back to LoL, you may have to start all over again. You will also lose any unique special skins (e.g. King Rammus, UFO Corki) which have no RP value.
Am I eligible for the free Champions?
If you were a participant of the Mac Beta, you will qualify for the rewards. I am not certain about those who used the Mac Beta Client but were not formal beta testers. I am under the impression you will qualify if most of your logins were from the Mac Client, but do not quote me on this.
From September 2nd to the 6th (Friday to Tuesday) you will need to visit the store using the Mac Client. Your account will then be rewarded at the end of September. If you are not rewarded, contact Riot Support about the issue with a Support Ticket. This information is now out of date as the refund period is now over. Where can I find more help on this issue?The Official NA LoL Forums have a dedicated Mac Testing Subforum. It can be found here. For EU players, there is an equivalent thread here. The resident Wrenchy is Boomjpe who is a really great guy. He also answers questions regarding LoL on Macs on the official LoL Forums and on his Mac Forum on his website. Any further questions I will see what I can answer. The following is what was contained previously, and is no longer up-to-date. It is left here for reference purposes. For Mac users, there is a closed-beta LoL Client for the Mac. While development on this client has been put on hold for a bit, the installer and Mac Client can be downloaded and are fully functional (although it occassionally has a few minor bugs). Full insructions can be found here and here and contain the most up to date mirrors to download the Mac Client from.
I have recently learnt that this also works on a Mac but I have not tried it nor can confirm any details about it. Do be aware of this before trying it.
I want to play LoL on a Linux machine. Can I do this?
+ Show Spoiler +There is now a method that has been tested by a SysAdmin at Riot Games. Instructions are found here! I am not sure how to run LoL on a Linux Machine without resorting to dual boot or a virtual machine. I don't have a Linux machine to try and figure someting out either. Sorry.I can now give a proper answer! There is a group of people who are working to get LoL running on Linux machines. Check out their efforts here!
I can't seem to download the files I need during the installation process. Help!
+ Show Spoiler +There are several things you should check. Firstly, do you have Pando Media Booster? If no, then relaunch the installer and it should promt you. Secondly, is the installer being blocked by your firewall? If it is, then you will need to change your firewall settings and place the LoL Installer on the "Allowed/Expempted" List. Thirdly, does your Network Provider block certain TCP ports? LoL requires the usage of several specific TCP Ports in order to function and if these are blocked you will not be able to run LoL. The exact ports that are required are: 5000 - 5500 UDP (League of Legends Game Client), 8393 - 8400 TCP (Patcher and Maestro), 2099 TCP (PVP.Net), 5223 TCP (PVP.Net), 5222 TCP (PVP.Net), 80 TCP (HTTP Connections), 443 TCP (HTTPS Connections). Access to 6881 is helpful but not required. If you are unsure of the settings on your network, you can use the ICSI Netalyzr to see what Ports are blocked, if any. The launcher will generally prefer peer-to-peer download in order to speed up the process but if you cannot use peer-to-peer for whatever reason this should not cause issues. For networks that ban peer-to-peer usage, this can be disabled at the launch screen.

Part 2: Client Issues and the In-Game Store
This section deals with issues about the Client Launcher, the PvP Client while in use, and issues related to the in-game store including billing problems.
When I patch, sometimes my bandwidth usage spikes massively. Is there a way to patch slower? (For people with throttled connections or shared connections)
+ Show Spoiler +The RADS Patcher will use peer-to-peer connections in the patching process. This can use a lot of bandwidth on some connections. If you want to limit the bitrate from the peer-to-peer connections, this can be done by clicking the Gear Icon in the top right of the PvP Launcher Screen and setting the maximum bitrate that is appropriate for you.
I have a Client Version Error. Wutdo??
+ Show Spoiler +When you have a client version error, it means that the server does not recognise your LoL Patch Version. When this number is too big, it means the patcher messed up and carried a one somewhere or something. Generally a Client Repair should fix it. An alternative is to delete your client game data folder which will force a repatch and correct your client version. When this number is too big, this is often due to ISP Caching. This is means you ISP has cached previous patch data onto their servers. So, instead of getting all the new patch data from the Riot Servers, your ISP is making you download old data from their servers instead to save them bandwidth. There are two ways to solve this. One method is to use a proxy or VPN to update to the latest LoL Client Version as you will no longer be connecting to your ISP's cached version. However, do be aware that there are risks when using certain types of proxies and VPNs. Also, if you reconnect to the server without your VPN/Proxy, you will redownload your ISP's cached version. Another way to solve this problem is to contact your internet provider and ask them to stop caching as this will then allow you to download the newer data from Riot. In particular, you want to clear everything from: http://l3cdn.riotgames.com/
I'm suffering from FPS loss! Help!
+ Show Spoiler +There are two Riot recommended solutions detailed in the articles here and here about improving your fps. I personally found that changing the memory priority through the task manager and carrying out a client repair to clean the game files helped improve my fps when I'm running multiple programs while playing LoL. There also seem to be problems with dual-core Windows 7 machines, due to "Core Parking". As such, it's also recommended to clean your registry files. Brentmeister has more details here.
The PvP Launcher says the Server is Busy. How will I know when the Server is Online?
+ Show Spoiler +The PvP Launcher automatically tries to ping the Login Server every 30 seconds for an update. Just leave the Launcher running and it will automatically update for you.
I tried to log in but it said "Incorrect Username/Password" but I know I typed it correctly. What gives?
+ Show Spoiler +Currently the PvP Client only has one error message it can display during the login process which is incorrect username/password. Most likely there is something wrong with the servers. The engineers are working on adding in more accurate error message later. Just close the client, open it again and try and log in again. Most of the time, this should solve the problem unless the servers are down.
How do I join a Chat Channel such as Liquid Party?
+ Show Spoiler +Once you have logged in, at the bottom right of your client is your friends list. Open this and click on the middle speech bubble. Type in "Liquidparty" and press enter. You should now join Liquidparty. Sometimes the chat channels bug out and a duplicate clone of Liquidparty gets made and not everyone ends up in the same channel. If this occurs, just quit the channel by pressing the X next to the channel name and enter the channel again. To automatically join a chat channel after logging in, click on the Gear Icon in the top right of the chat channel box and choose the "Auto-join" option.
I don't like the music in Champion Select. Can I turn it off?
+ Show Spoiler +Yes. Click on the Gears Icon in the top right of the PvP Client and select the option to turn off music in champion select.
The Riot Point Card I bought isn't redeeming for some reason. Why is this?
+ Show Spoiler +There have been known cases where the manufacturer or these cards has made a mistake and sometimes the card does not work properly. The best solution is to submit a Support Ticket under the Billing category. If the card is faulty, then Customer Service can just directly add RP to your account.
I bought RP but it hasn't been added. Why is this?
+ Show Spoiler +Sometimes RP does not immediatelly update after payment. Attempt to make a purchase in the In-Game Store but do not confirm the purchase at the screen where you choose between IP or RP. The value there should show your real IP/RP value. Closing the screen should then update the numbers next to your Summoner Name.
If you purchased RP from a credit/debit card and the RP total has not changed, this may be because your bank has not released the funds from your account yet. In this case, you will need to wait for your bank to transfer the money. If money has been deducted from your account but you have not recieved your RP, then you will need to submit a Support Ticket under the Billing Category to check what the problem is. Depending on the issue, you may also need to contact you bank. (For example, they might not have actually paid Riot and just removed money from your account. This has actually happened before.)
I should have gotten IP from a game but it hasn't been added. Why is this?
+ Show Spoiler +IP totals are run through the same servers that manage the Store. When there is intability with the store servers, your IP may not be updated correctly. Your IP is still logged however and will be added eventually once the problem has been resolved.
The PvP Client randomly closed on me when I wasn't in a game fo no reason. What happened?
+ Show Spoiler +During an idle state (chatting still counts as being idle) the PvP Client maintains an idle TCP Connection in the background in order to ping the servers to check for any hotfixes or updates. Some firewalls may view an idle TCP connection as suspicious and forcibly terminate them which will result in the Launcher closing. You may recieve an "Error Session Closed" Message from the Client if this happens. If this is the case, check that the Client is on the "Allowed/Exemptions" List in your Firewall Settings.
There is another possible reason for Client Termination. During times when there is excessive demand on the Game Servers, the servers will automatically log out anyone who is idle for an excessive amount of time to make space for other players. Chatting only still counts as idling. To remedy this, join/create a custom game every hour or so and then quit.
The final reason is simply that all the servers everywhere died. You can check by seeing if the Offical LoL General Forums have exploded with silly spam about the servers. If this occurs I recommend reading a book or something. Maybe even playing/watching Starcraft like most of TL does, who knows. Hopefully LoL does not dominate your life so much that this ruins your day.
I crashed from a game but the Login Server is down/PvP Launcher says Busy so I can't log in to reconnect to my game. Help!
Ever since the EU Server split, this method is not supported anymore.
+ Show Spoiler +The EU Riot Customer Support has created a wonderful tool you can use to reconnect to both the EU and NA Servers. You can download the files here. If it is urgent, you can directly run this file here. But please download the file if possible to save bandwidth.
These are the current links. Most recent ones can be found at the official LoL Forum Thread.
Instructions:
1. Start a game
2. If the game and PvP.net Client crash, just execute reconnect.exe!
3. You'll reconnect to the last game you've played without being logged in.
4. If the game doesn't exist or is already over, you'll get an error: Can't connect.
For more details and to post bug reports, the official LoL Forum Thread is here. Please say thank you to the Riot Staffers and Wrenchmen for creating and hosting this for you.
For those who want to be safe, here is a virus scan report to read. Note that every tool written with AutoIt causes Heuristic Detection. Download links are copied from the LoL Forum Thread so should be safe.
I finished a game but instead of the home page I get a message telling me to reconnect to a game that does exist! Help!
+ Show Spoiler +This is a condition known as a "Ghost Game". An indicator this might happen is if you lag getting into the score screen, or it takes a long time to load or does not load at all. This condition is caused when your client doesn't get an update from the server telling it that the game has ended even though it has. This causes you to see a reconnect button to a game that doesn't exist. This will go away by itself after a while (sometimes several hours) when the server begins to purge memory of all past games and send out an update to clients. If you don't want to wait (who does?) there are several things you can try. Logging out of the client and logging back in can help sometimes. Exitting LoL and restarting your computer can also help. These are not 100% guaranteed fixes though.  If you are inconvenienced by this, you can submit a support ticket and ask for some free IP, although this is up to the discretion of Riot.

Part 3: Client Modifications
This section will talk about making modifications to your client such as changing splash art or adding in custom fan-made skins. Please back up all files to somewhere safe before you attempt to modify them! I am not responsible if you end up breaking your client due to following any of these steps. Also note that should your client encounter issues, you can fix them with a client repair. Instructions for this are in Part 4 underneath.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
The use of Third Party Tools when playing League of Legends is done at your own risk. Furthermore, any third party tools that interferes with the client or packets is considered a breach of the ToS and your account may be penalised as a result. The only third party tool that has been given a clear (at the time of posting) is LoLRecorder.
How to access CFG and internal game assets (Please Read First)
+ Show Spoiler +The LoL Folder structure is now much more cleaner. To access game.cfg, go to the directory you installed LoL in, then go to League of Legends -> Config and you will find it there. In order to modify internal assests such as the game art, you will need to download and install the ItzWartys RAF Manager. This is the most convenient way of managing Mods and changes to Client Assets. This is because RADS packs and compresses all in-game data assets into a few seperate files. This means that even if you only wanted to change, say, the Ezrael slash art, you would need to unpack the appropriate CFG file and then look for the compenent that corresponded to Ezrael's Splash Art and then repack the whole thing and hope there wasn't any errors. Using ItzWartys' Manager makes it much easier to do this without as much hassle. As always, back up any file before you attempt to modify/replace it.
I am colour-blind. What Mod should I use?
+ Show Spoiler +Patch 1.0.0.132 has introduced colour modifications that help red-green colour blind players! This means that modding is not completely necessary depending on your colour-blindness. Please enable colour blind options through the in-game menu. For those interested in further colour blind support, more information is available below for Client Mods. Use the "ItzWarty's Colourblind No More" Mod which works with his RAF Manager program. The RAF Manager can be found here while the Colour Blind No More Mod can be found here and the LoL Forum thread is here. These files will modify the in-game colours of champions, hp bars, spells, etc. to make it easier for colour-blind people to play. When official colour-blind support is released I will update this section.
How can I change the in-game art to fan-art/the Chinese Client Art?
+ Show Spoiler +To change specific files for the splash art, go to your LoL installation directory. Then go to RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.60 (or whatever the new number will be in future patches) -> deploy -> DATA -> Images. Unpack the Screenshot.dds file To change specific files for in-game art, go to RADS -> projects -> lol_game_client -> filearchives. Find the appropriate folder with the data and unpack the RAF file and modify it. The latest image pack for the Chinese Client Art can be found in this thread on the LoL Official General Forums. Download the latest art pack and use the ItzWartys RAF Manager to install the art. Instructions are in the linked thread. The pack of Chinese Art is regularly updated as new art is added too!
I want force LoL to run on a resolution setting but the menu doesn't give me the option to.
+ Show Spoiler +Before you do this, be aware this can make your client a little unstable. It graphics may also not resize properly and you may end up with wonky textures or particles as a result. You have been warned. It's easiest explained if I give an example. Here I'll pretend you want to run LoL at 2300x1900 but the current setting is 1204x768. Just use the appropriate values. Go to the directory that you installed LoL in. Go to the directory you installed LoL in and then RiotGames -> Config. Now open the file game.cfg in Notepad. In lines 4 and 5 are the options for running the Client at different resolutions. Replace them with the appropriate values. In line 10, set the option to equal 1. Your files should now look something like: (I'm not showing the other stuff we're not modifying. Don't actually delete it though.)
[General]
...
Width=2300
Height=1900
...
UserSetResolution=1
...
Save this file. Now, RiotGames -> RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.60 (or whatever the most recent one is) -> deploy -> DATA and open menu -> hud. You should have an existing file with the name hud1024x768.ini (or something similar depending on your existing setting). This files contains things like how big your in-game minimap is and stuff. Open this file and copy everything in it. Create a new Notepad file in this folder called hud2300x1900.ini, open it and then then paste all the data into it. Save it. You should now have a file called hud2300x1900.ini with something that looks like the following: (Exact values may differ)
[Globals]
GlobalScale=1.0000
[Minimap]
Scale=1.0000
[MinimapFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[MapOverlay]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChat]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChatFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[ItemShop]
Scale=1.0000
[ChampionsFriendly]
XPos=0.0000
[ChampionsEnemy]
XPos=0.0000
The next time you play you may need to readjust all your graphics options. Do this in a Custom Game in case something goes wrong.
I want to forcibly rebind my hotkeys because the in-game menu won't let me.
+ Show Spoiler +Firstly, remember than when changing hotkeys through the in-game menu, you need to press the "OK" button before they take effect. Check that this isn't the case before you go editting Client Files. Otherwise, I assume you want to change the smartcast options (such as using shift-qwer for regular cast) but the client won't let you or something similar. Go to the directory that you installed LoL in.Go to the directory you installed LoL in and then RiotGames -> Config and open the file input.ini in Notepad. This is where all the hotkey settings are kept. Now just change the values on whatever you want. Remember not to accidentally use the same hotkey for more than one purpose. Bad things might happen. It is worth mentioning that there is a function that forces your mouse to only be able to select enemy Champions. For example, it means if you want to use ignite you would only be able to use it on enemy champions and not on minions like an idiot. This function does not have a default hotkey though. If you're going to modify hotkeys, I recommend you add a hotkey for this. I use the ` key for this purpose. This is what my input.ini file looks like with this hotkey. I have highlighted it in bold.
[GameEvents]

If you can't find the description of the hotkey you're looking for, create a custom game, go to the in-game menu and assign random buttons to the hotkey you want to change. PageUp, }, + and other random keys are fun to use. Then just exit the game and go back to the input.ini file. The full list of all events and keyboard inputs are below. + Show Spoiler +

I want to run LoL full-screen but I also want to be able to alt-tab and not have LoL minimise but just be in the background instead.
This can now be done through the in-game menu, under Video Options. Select Borderless Mode instead of Full-Screen or Windowed.
+ Show Spoiler +Go to the directory that you installed LoL in. Go to RiotGames -> RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.60 (or whatever the most recent one is) -> deploy -> DATA -> CFG and open the file game in Notepad. Under "Windowed=1" (or "Windowed=0" if you don't have League of Legends currently set to windowed mode) make a new line and put "BorderlessWindow=1".
I want to change between the NA/EU servers and/or change my language settings.
Can now be done by the client interface thanks to Patch 1.22
I'm in SEA but my client won't let me get onto the EU/US Servers and I can't play with my friends. Help!
+ Show Spoiler +Method 1:Download http://www.mediafire.com/?1fouxcx2alx2jih and extract files to your League of Legends installed folder (overwrite files). As I did not make this method I can not vouch for what these files are. Method 2:Go to the directory that you installed LoL in. Go to RiotGames -> RADS -> projects -> lol_launcher -> managed files -> 0.0.0.27 (or whatever the most recent one is). Edit NA_*_*.tra, EUW_*_*.tra and EUNE_*_*.tra and en_US.tra files. For EU use en_GB.tra, pl_PL.tra, de_DE.tra, es_ES.tra, fr_FR.tra. Find these lines: tr "url_host_news" = "ll.leagueoflegends.com"
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/na" (US)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/eu?lang=pl" (EU/PL)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/eu?lang=en" (EU/EN)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/eu?lang=es" (EU/ES)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/eu?lang=fr" (EU/FR)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/pages/launcher/eu?lang=de" (EU/DE) Replace them with: tr "url_host_news" = "pastebin.com"
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=BAYpxAWN" (US)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=FMqKS9Cw" (EU/PL)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=0HFG9mCY" (EU/EN)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=q636RkYq" (EU/ES)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=Ws3uvYQv" (EU/FR)
or
tr "url_path_news" = "/raw.php?i=DnytMQm6" (EU/DE) With this method, the Launcher will always say ONLINE even if the Server is not. Do be aware. Instructions were taken from: http://p0k3m0nt3am.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-patcherlauncher-bypass.html
I want to modify the in-game recommended items but not have to update it each patch. How can I do this?
+ Show Spoiler +Currently, there is a temporary solution. Instructions are here on the Official LoL Forums.
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:
[Globals]
GlobalScale=1.0000
[Minimap]
Scale=1.0000
[MinimapFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[MapOverlay]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChat]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChatFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[ItemShop]
Scale=1.0000
[ChampionsFriendly]
XPos=0.0000
[ChampionsEnemy]
XPos=0.0000
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. For example, you might end up with:
[Globals]
GlobalScale=1.0000
[Minimap]
Scale=1.0000
[MinimapFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[MapOverlay]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChat]
Scale=1.0000
[PlayerHudChatFlipped]
Scale=1.0000
[ItemShop]
Scale=1.0000
[ChampionsFriendly]
XPos=0.0000
[ChampionsEnemy]
XPos=0.0000
[Scoreboard]
Scale=2.1235
Are they are cool extra hotkeys I can add in for things such as timers calling MIA?
+ Show Spoiler +PLEASE NOTE THAT USE OF THIRD PARTY PROGRAMS FOR LEAGUE OF LEGENDS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.Thanks to Alkow, you now can! Instructions are below.. I have not personally used it but it has received quite a lot of praise from lots of other people. Instructions:- Download AutoHotkey.

- In game you want to go to your key bindings and unbind F1-F5, which correspond to select self (F1) and select allies (F2-F5)
- Run the script
- F1 = mia
- F2 = re
- F3 = Blue Timer
- F4 = Dragon Timer
- F5 = Baron Timer

you'll see a tooltip appear over your mouse cursor when you activate the timer just to confirm it has started and you'll see an in-game team chat saying "blue 30s" or when there're 30 seconds left until whatever respawns.
originally i had it as blue/red for f3 but i primarily play ap heroes and don't give a shit about red buff so fuck that. feel free go edit the script for it to say whatever you want. it's pretty self-explanatory where you need to edit what.
it gets really complicated coding a script to track two things with the same timer, that's why red/blue are on one hotkey. however, don't get confused and think that you can only track one blue or one red buff. you can track all four buffs at once with this script and you'll get four reminders that they'll respawn in 30 seconds. you just have to remember which one.

I want to spectate games on other servers but I'm too lazy to make a new account!
+ Show Spoiler +For a quick and easy way, you can use: http://www.spectate.us/If you want to modify the client spectate panel, this is going to be a bit harder... Go to the directory you install LoL in, then go to League of Legends -> Config and open game.cfg in Notepad. Underneath the section called [GENERA  add the following line at the end: DisableCameraSnapOnRespawn=1
I want to have an invisible mode!

Part 4: Miscellaneous
This is where I put everything else that don't really fit in the other sections.
My client is really messed up/is unusable/I accidentally modified or deleted an important file/My dog rewrote the source code when I went to get a drink. Help! Do I have to reinstall?(a.k.a. How to do a Client Repair)
+ Show Spoiler +Luckily for you, thanks to RADS you do not need to uninstall and reinstall LoL if your game files have a problem. On the Client Launcher Window, there is an option in the top right hand corner where you can choose to Repair the Client. By doing so, your client will attempt to check for problems in all game files and actively replace them. Do be aware that Repairing your Client can take a long time depending on your machine and your internet connection. You will also lose any modifications you have made to the game client, such as custom skins, as a result. All saved options such as resolutions, hotkeys, mastery pages, etc. will also be gone.
If you can't even open the Client Launcher for whatever reason, go to the directory where you installed League of Legends. Go to RiotGames -> RADS -> system and then run the file rads_user_kernel.exe
If this doesn't work you've probably really done something bad to you client and will probably have to uninstall and then reinstall. But it shouldn't get to this stage unless your dog rewrote the code for the patcher as well.
Can I take screenshots without having to Print-Screen, alt-tab out and paste?
+ Show Spoiler +Yes. The default hotkey for taking a screenshot in game is F12. Screenshots are saved in the directory you installed LoL. To find them, go to RiotGames -> RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.60 (or whatever the most recent one is) -> deploy unless it's been changed.
Where can I find my game logs if I'm submitting a Support Ticket?
+ Show Spoiler +Be as detailed as possible such as stating the time and date the problem occurred and the steps you did that caused it to happen. If you are reporting about a problem with the client when it was running (such as it suddenly crashing, or other errors) it is extremely useful to attach your game logs. These can be found in the directory you installed LoL in. Go to RiotGames -> Logs. Then go to the relevant folder for R3d Logs or Network Logs. The log files are named based on the time and date of your most recent games/client sessions. Find the corresponding netlog or r3dlog and upload them with your Support Ticket.
R3d logs correspond with games you have played, netlogs are when you connect to the PvP Server or patch.
What is a DxDiag or a Process List and how can I get them?
+ Show Spoiler +A DxDiag is a Direct X Diagnostic. It lists the components of your computer. It lets the person reading it know about what's in your computer, such as GPU, Memory, driver status, etc. To obtain a DxDiag, go to the start menu and choose Run. Then type dxdiag. In a Windows 7 computer, you can type this directly into the search box at the bottom of the start menu instead. In the diagnostic tool, select Save All Information. Choose a folder to save the diagnostic in. Save the file as a simple text document by selecting the type of file you're saving, or typing ".txt" at the end of the file. A Process List gathers a list of all the programs running at the time you generate the list. Its use is self-explanatory. Instructions on how to obtain one can be read here.
I decided to read random files in my client and I see the word error in all these log/diagnostic/misc files all over the place. Is this a problem?
+ Show Spoiler +If your LoL Client still works and you can play games, it's not a problem. RADS is designed to be pretty resilient against small problems so even if errors occur it can generally work its way around them or even fix them actively.
Are there any applications for my phone that are related to LoL?
+ Show Spoiler +There is an Android Application made by a member of the community that can let you see the LoL News Feed, view the current champion rotation, see NA/EU server status, access the Tribunal and more. Please note that I do not own an Android phone so I have not tried this application. The LoL Forum Thread is here. It is also possible to connect to the PvP Client Chat from outside of the client although it's rather fussy. PM me if you want to do something like this on Jabber or other programs.
What Ports are required for LoL and how can I check if my internet connection has problems?
+ Show Spoiler +League of Legends requires the following ports: - 5000 - 5500 UDP (League of Legends Game Client)
- 8393 - 8400 TCP (Patcher and Maestro)
- 2099 TCP (PVP.Net)
- 5223 TCP (PVP.Net)
- 5222 TCP (PVP.Net)
- 80 TCP (HTTP Connections)
- 443 TCP (HTTPS Connections)
- 2099 (Log-In Connection)
- Access to 6881 is helpful but not required.
If you ever need to check your internet connection for problems, a useful tool is the ICSI Netalyzr, which both the Wrenchies and Rioters use for quick checks. Please give the link to the results if you have any queries so we can have a look at them!

- IP Address: 64.7.194.221
Europe Nordic & East Login Details: - URL: prod.eun1.lol.riotgames.com
- IP Address: 66.150.148.22
Where can I find patch note details for all champions?

I want to run LoL full-screen but I also want to be able to alt-tab and not have LoL minimise but just be in the background instead.
Go to the directory that you installed LoL in. Go to RiotGames -> RADS -> solutions -> lol_game_client_sln -> releases -> 0.0.0.60 (or whatever the most recent one is) -> deploy -> DATA -> CFG and open the file game in Notepad. Under "Windowed=1" (or "Windowed=0" if you don't have League of Legends currently set to windowed mode) make a new line and put "BorderlessWindow=1".
I tried this and got an issue where I couldn't make windows appear on top of LoL. It Alt-Tabbed really smoothly but the client would always be on top for some reason. Has this happened to anyone else? |

I didn't noticed I could change EU/NA through the game client. O_o
I'll try the windowed noborder, it's definitely faster to alt-tab. |

Is there any way to play LoL on a mac? I've tried this very guide (klick me), but I did not even have the mentioned
Contents -> Resources -> transgaming -> c_drive -> rads -> Projects -> lol_air_client_config_na -> releases -> 0.0.0.1 -> deploy
folders. I am able to start the PvP client though, and every time I try to log in, it just says wrong username/passwort which is due to LoL only having one error message, according to this FAQ. Help is GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I have these folders and will now try out the guide again. I'll edit once I have some outcomes.
Edit 2: YAY, it worked. Sorry for spamming this awesome thread. Keep it up. <3 Last edit: 2011-07-13 20:30:32 |

I skimmed through and I didn't see this:
Some friends of mine who had shitty processors used to close the client to gain a few FPS. Don't know if this is still possible with the new patcher/client (should work!). The only draw back is that they couldn't see the score screen after a game.
Correct me if I'm wrong! |

do you have to login again after every game then?
my comp isnt too good, but possibly having to login again after each game would suck in current EU situation |

Not sure, since I never did this, but yeah, most probably you would need to log back in. |

I would try using http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booster/3000-18512_4-10913645.html It just basically closes everything that isn't needed for you while you play the game. Another way of increasing fps is turning vertical sync off on your video card. As you probably already know low settings, and windows mode actually causes a drop in fps. |

In case anyone's trying to play from china, http://www.xunyou.com/download.shtml is a great tool.
Just found out about it, and went from 500 ping with constant dcs to a steady 180-200 ping. It's still pretty bad but playable. You do have to register an account tho, for a 10 free trial. |

Important Update!
I crashed from a game but the Login Server is down/PvP Launcher says Busy so I can't log in to reconnect to my game. Help!
+ Show Spoiler +The EU Riot Customer Support has created a wonderful tool you can use to reconnect to both the EU and NA Servers. You can download the files here. If it is urgent, you can directly run this file here. But please download the file if possible to save bandwidth. These are the current links. Most recent ones can be found at the official LoL Forum Thread. Instructions: 1. Start a game 2. If the game and PvP.net Client crash, just execute reconnect.exe! 3. You'll reconnect to the last game you've played without being logged in. 4. If the game doesn't exist or is already over, you'll get an error: Can't connect. For more details and to post bug reports, the official LoL Forum Thread is here. Please say thank you to the Riot Staffers and Wrenchmen for creating and hosting this for you. For those who want to be safe, here is a virus scan report to read. Note that every tool written with AutoIt causes Heuristic Detection. Download links are copied from the LoL Forum Thread so should be safe.
I should have access to the client again in 2 weeks. Busy with work atm. Will update more as soon as realistically possible. Perhaps this thread could be stickied if people find it useful. Would also make it easier for me to keep track of it and come back to edit it. |

Apologies for the double post. Given the nature of this thread though, hopefully I can be forgiven!
I have access to the client again so I will be going through any issues raised in this thread and updating the OP(s). If you have anything tech that needs asking, this is the place to do it. |
