Hi I'm not really qualified to help, but I didn't get much help when I had an issue beyond having my post deleted. Here are some steps you can take that helped me.
1: Go to https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/ then look for the "Wine Test 1" version the description will say "using lutris-5.5-2" DOWNLOAD THIS! Once it's finished installing exit the client it launches.
2: Go to Lutris right-click the League of Legends file and configure it's options> Goto game options Executable> Change it to user/games/league-of-legends/drive_c/Riot Games/Riot Client/RiotClientServices.exe
3: Launch league through the riot client it will update your game for you.
4: GO back to the Lutris config file for League. Goto runner options, and change your Wine version to lutris-ge-lol-6.16-2-x86_64
The game will now launch properly through the riot client. Took me about 5 hours of testing to figure this all out after having no luck whatsoever.
Ubuntu 18.04 here. Ok so 8 hours ago I tried the Lutris.net installer for both D9VK (it worked, sort of, but frames went from 200 ish to 30ish with stuttering) and then I tried the non d9vk version. This worked smoothly in ARAM. When I went to play 5v5, it refused to load. I tinkered around with wine config and double checked the settings, they were as they should be IE Vulkan was set to the none default (yeah I know, its the non d9vk version so that's weird) and then tried again. 5v5 worked fine ranked/unranked. However, one new bug is that when I alt tab and go back in the mouse refuses to move the screen around again so I have to either restart the game or keep hitting spacebar. That's an annoying bug.
I saw that 2 hours ago a new install script was posted. Perhaps this fixes the alt tab and mouse issues I encountered earlier so I gave it a go. During installation I ran into the Installing League of Legends - App Image FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory').
​
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is a Testing only version
of the Lutris script you can run. Although for that it's best you report feedback directly to the script maintainer on the Lutirs forums rather than here on reddit.
To be honest though, beyond that there isn't really anything formalised for testing. Participation here on the subreddit, helping other users and knowledge sharing is always appreciated :)

As I do not want my account to get banned, I sent a ticket to the support and the response they gave me was that wine shouldn't be an issue and if it happened to be an issue, players should get in touch with them. I would advise you all to send a ticket like I did if you got banned to raise awareness of this anti-cheat bug.
Here's the response from the support :

I recommend just using Lutris, honestly. https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/
Once you get it running, you can change your Wine runner to other versions, such as the Proton releases, but Proton stuff is pretty old, even behind some of the patches needed for working with League's anti-cheat system, I think. Right now I'm running it on WineHQ Staging 4.0-rc5 (which I installed as my system version of Wine).
One thing that Lutris really should do is provide an easy method to build and load any Wine version from source. That would mean we could use new builds as soon as they were available.
In all, the setup works pretty well, although the LeagueClient.exe is still horribly buggy (randomly chewing up massive CPU). I run the client in low spec mode, and have it close when the actual game starts. In game performance (GTX 1070, AMD FX-8320, 24GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz) on max settings drops as low as 50FPS during team fights. Not ideal, but good enough that I don't care to improve it.
If you do find an answer that gets better performance, please let me know.
Strictly speaking, mac OS is not unix based source code wise. There are similarities among a lot of systems that are connected to POSIX in some way, but that's not really too representative of the nature of compatibility.
None the less, Darling is a project that is trying to achieve the goal of running applications that were targeted at Mac OS on Linux. However, even though Darling is not too far from actually running League, it does not make too much sense because League of Legends on Mac OS uses OpenGL for rendering.
That is relevant because League's OpenGL renderer is inferior to it's DirectX render paths in a lot of ways, and DXVK already provides an excellent and performant way to translate DirectX API calls into Vulkan, so it seems like Wine is the real winner when it comes to the user experience.
Thanks for the info OP :) I actually haven't given LoR a shot on the desktop in a while. I found running it on my phone and using scrcpy was the easiest solution for me. Looks like I might try the Lutris script again!
Mobalytics works pretty well and it is on Lutris. You do not get the in game overlay https://lutris.net/games/mobalytics/
u/GeorgeV222 posted about Champ-R. I have used it and it is pretty good. It will pull in "sets" for each champ from mulitple sites. https://github.com/GeorgeV220/champ-r/releases
Go here: https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/ and right under the Install button there are two additional buttons the "write new installer" and "show unpublished installers" you will press the show unpublished installers and the scroll down until you find the "Standard v2.0 (Launch Helper) version "
And make sure that you have zenity and openssl installed
Hey , you could try to install another script for LoL if you go here: https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/ and press the "show unpublished installers" and scroll down until you see "Standard v2.0 (Launch Helper) version" click to install it. Do the usual (wait until the 2gb have been downloaded and the close the launcher... etc) after the installation is complete go to lutris and change the wine version to "wine-615-lol-glibc-228" | if you don't see that version listed at first just restart lutris.
You have to uninstall LoL and install the 'Standard v2.0 (Launch Helper) version' from the Lutris website. If you cant find it it is under 'Show unpublished installers'
Weird, I tried what you said, and the building your wine didn't work ( the process was kinda scuffed tho ) In reinstalling LoL and trying to follow your instructions, I found that reinstalling LoL with the first install script on lutris.net configured a different version of wine **lutris-ge-lol-6.16-x86_64**. It seems to work perfectly: I even have the practice tool running atm. Maybe if someone sees this, they might try just reinstalling LoL with stable installer on Lutris's site.
Ok, then you can try with the infalible linux tool: the terminal.
Download Lutris recipe:
wget "https://lutris.net/api/installers/league-of-legends-standard-v20-launch-?format=json" -O lol-install.json
Launch recipe:
lutris -i lol-install.json
You will see something like this: https://i.imgur.com/CM8gSUS.png
> Running /home/the-gremlin/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-6.10-3-x86_64/bin/wine
[...]
Looks like you are trying to use the latest wine release but League of Legends currently requires an older patched version of wine.
You can change the wine version in use via Configure
-> Runner options
-> Wine version
, but the default Lutris install script should automatically download and select the correct version.
im using lutris to run it in a prefix (didnt use the installer on lutris.net because i copied this prefix from another installation)
with wine-lol on version 5.6-staging
on manjaro, using current nvidia driver and latest stable kernel, i dont think thats the issue because on my previous installation this didnt happen
when i manually minimize the client (top right button) and bring it back up again it will occasionally (more often than not) freeze, as in the UI is not updating at all anymore and im sure my clicks are not doing anything either. this also can happen when i just finished a game and the client comes back up for the end-of-game screen
This file is provided by this package:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gst-plugins-base-libs/files/
Sure you have this installed?
Try it
Use the command on terminal
env WINEPREFIX="/home/YOUR_USER/Your_Wineprefix" /home/YOUR_USER/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lol-3.13-x86_64/bin/wine '/home/Your_User/.Games/leagueoflegends/drive_c/Riot Games/League of Legends/LeagueClient.exe'
Thanks. You installed https://lutris.net/games/legends-of-runeterra/ and changed Runner-options/Wine-version to 'lutris-lol-5.0-x86_64' and run via Lutris GUI, nothing else?
You can download Lutris and use this: https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/
It will do a few settings for you that are necessary (:
Even though I have only 20 fps less than on Windows, to me LoL on Linux never felt the same... It's hard to explain why •-•
I'd suggest to use a dual boot for both the performance and so that you can still play when Riot adds the new anti cheat that kills all other ways except playing it on Windows...
Good luck anyway ^-^
30-40 minutes start up time is absolutely not intended behavior, especially not for your specs.
Can you try a full reinstallation of the Lutris script here? Completely remove your currently League install and try again.
Additionally, you mentioned you were running wine-lol
, what happens when you run with the built-in lutris-lol-5.5.2
?
Hmmm alright. To be fully honest, I don't see anything completely obvious that might be the cause of your issues. Two more follow ups from my side:
As I mentioned in your removed posts, use the search bar in the top righthand corner... this is a well documented issue.
Additionally you should be using the latest Lutris scripts found here titled Standart (Launch Helper) version
When you are running through the Lutris installer, are you making sure to NOT login initially and let BOTH downloads run fully? There should be one small download (~200MB) and one larger download (~3GB) one after the other. It is super important to NOT login and let BOTH downloads finish before closing the client.
Additionally make sure you are using the latest Lutris script found here titled Standart (Launch Helper) version
. With this script you do NOT need to manually launch the launchhelper script, this is automatic.
Wine versions 5.7 and higher have not been fully tested with League and are most likely very buggy. I would suggest using either M-Reimer's wine-lol
(you can find install instructions in the megathread) or lutris-lol 5.5.2
OP please remove your current version of League and reinstall the version listed at the top here called Standart (Launch Helper) version
. With the new Lutris scripts you do NOT need to manually run the launchhelper scripts

I haven't encountered this issue myself, but I believe your best bet would be to uninstall your current version. In lutris, just right click, remove. Delete all game files. You can leave it in your lutris library.
Now we reinstall. Go to lutris leage page and under the 2 installers, click "show unpublished installers" then look for "standar*t*" installer. Note the T at the end, it's not "standard". Install using that script. As soon as it starts patching, don't do anything else. Just wait for it to patch and then close. At this point, you can try to start it up again, but it may not work.
If not, go through the suggestions step by step in this this post but you've already installed, so start at step 7. Additionally, the standart installer should create two files for you called launchhelper.sh and syscall_check.sh where you installed league. As long as those files exist, you can skip steps 9 through 12.
The client may take several minutes to start, so be patient. If it's in your running processes, let it do it's thing.
Which version would you recommend from (https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/)?
There are:
- Standard
- Riot Client + Blitz.gg version
The second comes with d9vk so I assume that's the better one?
This morning I had the same problem. I play LoL via Lutris. The first time that I installed the game (this morning) I used the "gold" script in the lutris website. When the installation finished I tried to fix the Riot Client with this solution, but it didn't work out.
Since the "gold" installer uses the old client I decided to try installing LoL with the second script: Riot Client + Blitz.gg version
. Had to manuly kill Blitz during the installation process but I was able to install LoL via the new client. Also, after closing the client, had to change the Executable
option in lutris to point Riot Games/League of Legends/LeagueClient.exe
.
Now the games works fine. I was able to play in the practice tool (hadn't time for a normal), and my friend list works.
Hope to help!
Installed it, but changed nothing. Then i searched for libgcrypt.so.11 and found this package that should include it.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libgcrypt15/
Installed it and now error lines changed to this:
>002b:err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"WLDAP32.dll": libgcrypt.so.11: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I tried searching for "libgcrypt.so.11: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64", but i had no success.
Oh wait. Do i have to get it from pacman and install it systemwide? Just found this: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-libgcrypt/
If yes I'll do it once I am home and tell you how it went.
Have you seen <https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-standalone>? Apparently you just winetricks it into your prefix nowadays. Or install <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine-nine/> and symlink it.
there are no such hang ups as with csmt and has better performance from vanilla wine. You will have to compile it.
Look here if you want some guidance. This makes a package for pacman based linux, but you can easily convert it to make a rpm or a deb. If you are on ubuntu or something and are not very technical you can search for a ppa -> first google result
> I'm waiting till the community can get everything pretty much stable 100% of the time
That's the thing: it will never happen. With neither WoW nor League. Because 1) both of those games do not have official Linux support and 2) both of those games are forever changing and evolving. A good example is the new changes to introduce the Riot Client for logins instead of the traditional League client. If you're waiting for 100% certainty then you're going to wait forever.
FWIW I play both League and WoW daily without issues. They are perfectly stable for daily and even competitive play. I get equal performance in both of those games compared to Windows so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd suggest you take a look at https://lutris.net/ and browse discussion forms and communities like https://www.gamingonlinux.com/ and r/linux_gaming. Gaming on Linux is not nearly as underperformant or unstable as you might think.
There is a beta Lutris installer here.
My so far: once you log in, WINE throws a 7zip error 193 and the installer gets about 90% of the way through before saying there are missing dependencies and it cannot complete the installation.
Sounds like the problem with the gpu drivers, if you are on amd try following this guide and install all the recommended drivers. If it's not that I'd try repairing the client and/or trying a different wine version. If all else fails I'd recommend giving Lutris a try since it automaticlly installs dxvk and wine for you so less places for something to go wrong(League installer) or if you're already using it try a reinstall.
https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/
Install lutris
Install Wine
Any drivers Lutris asks you to install, follow the link and install until you have now warnings
Add league of legends via Lutris website
> At least for me stopping playing at all is the only solution.
Yep, this is also the route I've taken (and I've done it now, so I can quit on my own terms).
I put up a warning in the Lutris installer; could I suggest doing something similar on the web page for setting up your wine-lol repo?
I manged to make it work with lutris https://lutris.net/games/legends-of-runeterra/ .I used the change me version. When you click play the game didn't work for me I had to click on run exe inside wine prefix button then chose live.exe
It's easy. Just keep in mind that Riot tends to occasionally break things from time to time (historically this has happened maybe one or two times a year). There are actually a couple of Riot employees who play with Linux themselves from time to time, and have been known to work with a couple of our community members to patch things quickly for linux.

To set up Lutris:
To set up League:
I don't know about chromebooks, but you need to find a way to install Lutris https://lutris.net/downloads/, a Linux application that help you play windows games. After that just search for League of Legends and follow the steps.
How to install Linux software on a chromebook, that's up to you.
Note: Pop!_OS should have already installed the best drivers for your system already. You can check under "Installed" in the Pop!_Shop to find out which driver is installed.
Optional: In the "System Options" tab you can go down to environment variables and change DXVK_HUD
compiler
to DXVK_HUD
1
to verify that D9VK is working. An overlay will appear on the top left of your screen when in-game showcasing FPS, driver versions, and other related information.
Appears to be a thing with new installs vs existing ones. Could try to copy it over from a Windows vm, but I gave the experimental symlink AppImage a try (3rd option) So far I've had it download the initial patch. Which is further than I've gotten before.
Sorry I was a bit busy. Can you just not find the option or is it greyed out and unclickable?
Regardless of how you installed it you should have the option in Lutris. Also the win prefix option isn't in runner options. It's in the Game options tab. you need to redirect it to a prefix made from a previous install that was installed through one of the install on the lutris page! don't use the appimage. Install an old version that can be installed through wine. Wait for the install and then just remove the game from lutris library, but don't remove the game files!!!!!!!! Then just set the wine prefix of your setup through the scripts to that prefix.
OR
Better and easier way just download and install the old Dvxk setup update league and everything. Then in runner options discable dvxk and set wine version to staging 4.8 or wine HQ 4.8.
IF this doesn't work..... just use the appimage lad....
Yo.
Sorry, just did afresh install of Pop 18.04. was wondering which version of league to install on lutris in step 1. Appimg the first one on this page right? https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/

https://snapcraft.io/mobalytics-desktop I've repackaged the client for Linux and made some patches to make it work.
There is however an issue with arch distributions where the file browser's font breaks. Though if you click cancel it brings up a workaround text box where you can just paste the path to your league folder. (Sadly this problem seems to be caused by snap and electron-builder combo)

It's DXVK
>I am currently struggling with having my FPS drop from 200 to 30-50 mid game after following the installation instructions
Actually there may be no fix to this problem. The game engine itself is in a very bad shape and everyone(including windows users) have frame drops as the game goes on.
You can try mangohud to check if there is any memory/cpu leak. Also shut down the client after the game starts(there is a setting for this in client options).
Did you also revert the change with the GPU config?
Unfortunately I can't help much further as I'm not familiar with the program. If you don't find any help here, it might be a good idea asking around at https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud or /r/linux_gaming
Yo.
According to this post: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-11344-1.html
Try this:
Install with winetricks: d3dx10, d3dx11, d3dx9 (only d3dx9, not the other d3dx9_xy)
PoL IS WINE. It's a front end for it.
That being said, I just installed league updated script and it works fine. The only thing that doesn't work is buying RP in the store.
https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-1135-League_Of_Legends.html#contributions
Click 'sort by updates only'. The top post is by a user named Hyperfang.
Click "new source code" and copy + paste that into a .sh file in your home directory.
Open PoL and click 'Tools > Run Local Script' and select the .sh file you just made.
Follow the prompts and let it install / update.
You could also try to use
The very experimental installer from lutris:
https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/
​
I don't know if its worth, it but it should in theory have less of a overhead compared to plain directx to opengl renderer. Im not sure if the perfomance is better in your configuration but it could be worht a try.
Also be warned we don't know if we can get banned for this. It changes some dlls so the risk is definitly not zero
Fixed by installing the latest version published just 2-3 days ago. It uses 64bit prefix instead of 32bit. Make sure to install the new prefix in a different location from the old one to avoid problems. After you can simply copy/move LOL directory from the old prefix to the new one, so you don't have to update again.
This new version works really well. With the old 32bit version I had 6-40 fps (very unstable) and now it runs 40-50 fps.
You may need to add d3dcompiler_47.dll as "native,builtin" Dll override.
I was in a similar boat. Compiled wine with staging (and back then the needed patches) like other did (according to their scripts) but it always crashed when loading the actual game. New prefixes did not help either.
The only working solution was reinstalling LoL: Create new Prefix; set to winxp; run installer; add a bunch of Dll overrides (check the lutris script) because I fear Anticheat might be unhappy otherwise; run LoL. No other winetricks used (I was surprised that I did not need to activate mouse grabbing and virtual desktop anymore). No sound ingame but considering I started from always crashing I call this progress.
My only explanation is that the installation of DX9 by the installer is important.
"Initiate Full Repair" did not show any errors/did not help with the crash.
On Lutris, do the following to get a working League:
Enjoy! :D
Looks like someone posted a Lutris install script. Give it a try:
https://lutris.net/games/vainglory/
If you have trouble, after trying it. Ping me again and I'll try to install into a fresh WINE prefix.

Edit: replaced my answer with official FAQ response
Same here but I just tried to install using the EUW exe and it gives me the same error. You can try editing the .json and installing it manually with
$ lutris -i edited.json
You state wine 6.0.1, but are we not supposed to have 6.19 installed, after following the steps on 1a - Pre-install? Maybe https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl can offer some solution, via the profile manager, to give league full performance from the hardware. I have about the same hardware as you, and league is running absolutely flawless, 144fps, on the highest settings
https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/dev-tackling-queue-dodging/
dodging too much gives you a 12 hour timer now :(
I figured git was overkill since I didn't change much from the default anyway. Its also probably better to symlink the league folders to save space since they all contain the same files anyway, but I have a big harddrive so I didnt bother. Happy it helped someone
I am in this part of the installation, but when i open lutris there is no LoL shortcut in lutris.. i tried adding my own but i dont know where to point it to..
On Arch you need an AUR package manager (I recommend yay), afterwards you can continue by installing wine-lol-glibc
and wine-lol
. This will take a long time, so be patient.
If you have first followed the steps of the previous method and set abi.vsyscall32
to 0, now is the time to set it back to 1, by running sudo sh -c 'sysctl -w abi.vsyscall32=1'
in a terminal. Otherwise you proceed with the guide.
Once wine-lol
is installed, you need to open up Lutris, right click on LoL, select Configure, then go to Runner options, set "Wine version" to Custom and set /opt/wine-lol/bin/wine
as your "Custom Wine executable". If you do not see this option, enable "Show advanced options." Afterwards disable and then re-enable Esync, Lutris will complain that this version of Wine is incompatible with it, however, this isn't actually the case, so tick "Enable anyway" and press Okay.
After this, start the game and it should work.
I used the snap store, as mentioned in the link, I just follow the commands and dependences were automatically installed, and LOL appeared in the application menu, it was really simple
So, as I said, I tried to install it in different ways. The last thing I tried was using Snap. I also tried Lutris, Play on Linux and Wine. Now with the Snap installation, I can log in into the client, but when I get to Champ-Select, there are no Champions. Also, the Installation is still on version 10.16, but the actual release is 10.17 I think.
​
Also I am not completely new to Linux, but new to gaming on it. I regularly work with Linux Servers.
You'll most likely need to allow the pulseaudio interface for the snap. Alternatively, the Lutris install has Voice functionality working out of the box.
IF you want to use wine-lol you have to create a new WINEPREFIX in 32Bit Architecture (WINEARCH=win32).
This is necessary to speed up compile times for the whole wine exectuable.
About the snap it is already updated https://snapcraft.io/leagueoflegends
I think https://snapcraft.io/leagueoflegends is the best way currently to get the game on Linux. This seems to be a pretty good guide to how to get it http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/09/install-league-of-legends-ubuntu-snap/ it might be outdated though.
The dependencies are installed yea: No packages to install.
. Let me try again.
Ok, so while installing I noticed this:
0009:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
Now I vaguely remembering having this issue with another game/install on Mint. But can't remember what I've done to fix it. However, I did install openresolv
from source, but I doubt that should generate this issue (wouldn't exactly know where to start if I had to uninstall that either). I also found that you might need the package: samba
to get it working, but-uhm... That's already installed. I've tried to install it with simply sudo systemctl start smb
but that doesn't seem to work, didn't think so either, but was worth a shot.
Any ideas?
If you are using Unity as your shell, i feel your problem, for me it was Guild Wars 2, where i wanted to map my abilities to Alt+number, but Unity, for some reason, doesnt like that. I switched to Gnome, which is way friendlier to gaming in general, imo. (Also i think Gnome is just better than Unity is, just try it out, you can switch without much effort, Linux is all about playing with the system and making it your own)
It might take a while but you should see the installer start if you installed proton correctly though as I learned recently it's recommended to use proton-ge-custom if you can since it gives better performance then the pre-built bin one though I was unable to build it due to some building problems with 32bit compilers required for it. If the bin one doesn't work remove it and try building proton yourself from the AUR or clone it from github and make the package manually. And if everything fails you can always try using the lutris version since it will install everything for you. I'm currently using scrcpy to mirror my phone screen because I was tired of disconnecting and the game only looks a bit worse then on pc. Good luck.
