patch 13.22 (currently on pbe) now kicks you out of game (client works)

seems that this might be the patch with the previously mentioned end of year anticheat update as mentioned in this twitter video (@5:53):

for the sake of the game actually being playable i believe the subreddit should be reopened so that the community has a better chance at resolving the issue

as (sadly) people might not/will not be willing to make an account on an alternative platform

if you are wondering how to play on PBE (if you want to try and find out what is happening)

simply duplicate league of legends on lutris (in the right click menu) and add these arguments (under “game options”):

--launch-product=league_of_legends --launch-patchline=pbe

    after i made this post the subreddit was actually reopened (wether this was actually due to my post; or someone elses who knows)

    https://old.reddit.com/r/leagueoflinux/

    but only in a limited fashion (you can look; but if you post your post gets deleted by automod)

    goes without saying i fully agree with you

    as for patch 13.22 i’ve had others test PBE and they are having the same problem (client works; game fails to open after champ select)

    its worth pointing out that the PBE has had several micro-updates after i first noticed the issue and the crash remains

    which makes me feel like the problem will probably hit live

    and in case you are wondering according to the patch schedule it hits live november 8th

      Oh, nice. I think that’s a good start as reading old posts on the Wayback Machine has its limits.
      As for everything else, it’s unfortunate. I’d be glad to help troubleshoot but my PBE account was deleted back when they removed a bunch of old accounts. Let’s just hope the problems aren’t anti-cheat related, even if they make it to live.

        as far as i know you can simply create PBE accounts these days

        no more wait time like years ago

        but obviously thats up to you

        also if it is an anticheat update

        atleast they have kept the anticheat in userland if that is the case

        so its probably fixable

          When I created my account way back you had to apply and wait, then IIRC they deleted plenty of accounts in order to “clean up” and you couldn’t really register anymore, but that was a long time ago so it’s possible (it’s also possible that I’m misremembering). Also, I don’t think they’ll bother changing their anti-cheat from userland like people were afraid of years ago, but userland could still create problems as any attempts to bypass their new stuff (if they exist) could flag your account, and it’s something we’ll never know until the ban waves start coming in.

            i dont think PBE accounts are even linked to main accounts anymore like they used to be

            but i wouldnt know personally because my PBE account is old

            one of the people i had test the PBE to see if the crash was just for me made an account and it was seemingly instant

            either way the patch comes out in 2 days (the 8th) so making PBE accounts purely to try and fix this problem is probably not very productive
