I'm in the installation process right now, and after I click on the launcher and go through the installshieldwizard, I'm just ending up with a black screen. It won't actually take me to the client to update. Thats through the manual installation because the other way was just crashing

Dang, almost there. Did you install IE8 and make sure Windows version is Windows XP?

I've had reports that disabling "peer-to-peer" doesn't fix the dgbhelp problem. There is a bug report on WineHQs about this. There have been similar reports on PlayOnLinux:
dgbhelp
Store Crash

So far no fix yet.
I'll try League of Legends again over the weekend

Yea i've done both of those. Do I need to use the more updated version of wine? the "1.7 league of legends" version?

booman · Jan 21, 2014

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to try.
I'm sure the Devs will eventually release a "store" version too.
I'm going to test it with Wine 1.6.2 and 1.7.10 this weekend

prcp · Jan 26, 2014

when i attempt to create an account the "Sign up now" link doesen't work, so i create a account directly on the lol site.
Now, when i try to log in (after click the play button), it crashes nevertheless i've unchecked "peer to peer"...any solutions?
bless

booman · Jan 27, 2014

I actually need to try League of Legends again now that I'm on Mint 16.

What Linux distro are you running?
Can you play any other games?

booman · Jan 27, 2014

I just tried downloading, installing and launching LoL and everything is fine with Wine 1.7-LeagueofLegends

I didn't actually launch a game, but I logged in just fine.
Even without Internet Explorer 8

prcp · Jan 27, 2014

i'm running on slackware 14.0 whit kde 4.10.5, i've not tried any other games yet, now i try Wine 1.7-LeagueofLegends and let you konw

booman · Jan 27, 2014

Its a good idea to try out some other games first.
There are a few free ones for Linux:
0A.D
DOTA2 (Linux Steam)

If these games run then I know you have the correct dependencies installed for games.
Is your Slackware 64-bit or 32-bit?

prcp · Jan 28, 2014

I have a 32-bit disto even if my processor is 64-bit...but I maybe find the problem:
with Wine 1.7-LeagueofLegends it works, I can just log and click "start tutorial", but here screen comes black and I have to force closing the game with alt+F4.
I think I have not System Requirements....my pc is a sony vaio vgnar41e with "Intel dual core duo processor T7100 1.8 GHz", 4 GB ram and graphics Nvidia geForce 8400M GT GPU.
I use the nuoveau driver because whit nvidia drivers I have "freezing" of the screen (I think it occurs when the video card tries to use 3D acceleration). So I think my video card is the problem, unless the game can work in my configuration with nouveau drivers and without 3D acceleration....

I've installed 0ad from slackbuilds (the repos for slackware) and it works.
DOTA2 for linux doesen't need playonlinux, right? I only have to install steam linux version and install it from steam?
So I would ask you a question: why certain games (as, for example, Games of Throne) we should prefer to install on plyonlinux from the windows version?
For example to install DOTA2 what I should do?

booman · Jan 31, 2014

I have update the League of Legends guide today.
The whole guide was done again from scratch.
Now I'm using Wine 1.7-LeagueOfLegends

Wolfgang Dawson · Feb 2, 2014

I can log in now and go into a lobby for a game, but it won't load after that. Any solutions please?

booman · Feb 2, 2014

Man, very strange. I only had that symptom once, but has eventually worked.
Are any of you using AMD video chips?
I've read many problems with AMD drivers and games in Linux. Same with Intel.
If you are using AMD, try updating to the newest driver, or even rolling back to an older version.
Otherwise, please post your debug and maybe it will shed some light

Wolfgang Dawson · Feb 3, 2014

Well I'm using the R9 280x. But Ubuntu is recognizing it as a 7970. Iv'e updated my driver to the latest version and it works fine with every other game (still says its a 7970 though). But before the update every game would crash. Iv'e figured out every problem so far but this one with League. Also how would I find out what my debug is?

booman · Feb 13, 2014

Sorry Wolfgang, for some reason I wasn't notified of your response...
Anyways, instead of clicking "Run" in PlayOnLinux, try selecting LoL and clicking "Debug" on the right.
You should get a window with text outputting commands and the like.
Feel free to post it here and I'll take a look at it.

I am curious about your driver problem. I have heard of games not recognizing your correct card but not Linux.

Wolfgang Dawson · Feb 13, 2014

Well, its interesting my driver problem. My friend just built computers and they are identical except he has the 270x. His stuff all runs fine but I had to update my graphics card to get anything to run. Even steam games weren't working. The only one I could get to work was "Sir you are being hunted" but the graphics were all weird and I couldn't make out images properly. I also have not seen anything with my problem online so I'm still in the dark about it.

And then the last line just repeats at a massive rate when the client is open. But that is what the log said. And thank you for responding I thought you were trying to figure out the problem, so I didn't want to keep bringing it up.

booman · Feb 13, 2014

Man, I did some research and havn't found anything usefull on those errors.
You may want to do some reading on the WineHQs page
Look for anyone that suggests drivers, or 32-bit stuff. Even libraries to install.
Seems like most people have success with Wine 1.7-LeagueOfLegends

Atanas · Feb 14, 2014

Hello.

Im using ubuntu 13.10 64x. I installed LoL through POL and its working the thing is that i have 10 fps... I'm with nvidia 720m card, and i already have working primus and bumblebee ( i play dota2 without problems). When i primusrun playonlinux, when i run LoL in the terminal it says:
[POL_Wine] Message: Wine return: 0
primus: warning: recreating incompatible pbufferIngame i get 10 fps. With optirun its the same framerate but i dont get the warning of incompatibility... Help?

allenskd · Feb 16, 2014

I just want to say that the new setup is not working with 1.7-leagueoflegends I was planning to download it to play a few matches with friends.

I looked at what PlayOnLinux did, they did a tarball of the whole game and uploaded it on their website so people didn't have to use the official setup (because you'll be running into issues with the setup more often than running the game).

What I would suggest is using virtual box to download the game and follow the guide, then pull over the game's folder to your drive_c/Program Files
