winepak
[com.leagueoflegends.Client] New fix found
Hi! A fix for league of legends is available at wineHQ. Is it possible to patch the flatpak or do we have to wait untill it gets to master?
@ewaves Thanks for reporting. @julianrichen could you add the patch?
Fixed with Wine v3.13.1 https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/commit/9d12bd013b2e67eb8fccafc926b785e2735909fe
I installed wine-staging (sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging) and verified that is the recognized version of wine (wine --version command outputs wine-3.13 (Staging)), however i still get the Unable to Connect to the Authentication Service error. I don't know if i should configure wine-staging in a special way or something else.
@julianrichen In Lutris ta 100% https://lutris.net/games/install/3552/view
@ewaves Could you please give instructions in detail (which command did you use to run the client)?
Right now it works with the latest wine-staging, I compiled it and run
WINEPREFIX=~/.var/app/com.leagueoflegends.Client/data/wine/ winecfg # change the windows version to xp
WINEPREFIX=~/.var/app/com.leagueoflegends.Client/data/wine/ wine "C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/LeagueClient.exe"
@ewaves Thanks for your response! I executed the commands but the second one provides this error:
wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\winemenubuilder.exe" 000b:err:wineboot:ProcessRunKeys Error running cmd L"C:\windows\system32\winemenubuilder.exe -a -r" (2)
I did a search about it but couldn't find a helpful answer. I hope it's not out of topic. However, the client runs but i face still the same error when i login: "Unable to Connect to the Authentication Service".
Thanks in advance!
AFAIK winemenubuilder.exe is disabled on purpose, so honestly I'm thinking your problem is not wine related, did you try to change your connection? Are you behind a firewall? Try using a VPN.
@ewaves Thanks for your responses! I use Elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki and by default the firewall isn't activated, also since my ISP is in Greece I don't think there are any restrictions. However, I'll search more about this error and I'll post if any progress is made. Maybe it has to do with system permissions..
There's still some work to be done on the wine side, and I think it's worth.
We can workaround most of the current issues by setting Windows version to XP, since the unimplemented functions are only called on Vista+ (NtQuerySystemInformation(SystemModuleInformationEx) and NtQueryVirtualMemory(MemoryWorkingSetExInformation)).
But there's a issue with the Voice chat where it forces the Launcher UI to reload after joining a room, this can be solved by disabling auto-login on Voice Chat. I think it's worth mentioning them to the user in some way.
[EDIT] Mentioned issues are:
Known bugs aside, to have a working winepak again we just need the latest wine-staging
for some reason I can't run
WINEPREFIX=~/.var/app/com.leagueoflegends.Client/data/wine/ winecfg
to change to XP, console says it doesn't recognize "winecfg" as a command
@SemnoSao If by don't recognize you mean that winecfg "command not found", then it probably has to do with wine installation. What's the output of command wine --version? You could try to reinstall wine-staging and run again winecfg.
so my console gives me
zsh: command not found: wine
but I think that's because I installed the game by flatpak winepak, doesn't it? I can open the game normally but I can't make correct the problem the way it's said here, is there any other way to do this?
@SemnoSao This means that wine isn't installed in your system. You can install wine-staging following these:
sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
Then try to run again wine --version to be sure that the output is the latest wine-staging version and afterwards winecfg.
How it's not installed if I can open the winepak league of legends???
@SemnoSao I'm not sure that wine is installed alongside flatpak-winepak, but the fact that wine command isn't found means (as far as i am concerned) that wine isn't installed. In any case even if you had wine installed, you should install wine-staging in order to play LOL without errors.

You should really read something about flatpaks and it will be clear to you why it's not installed. The point is that the flatpak wine is currently not updated, so you have to install an updated wine system wide and run your existing LoL installation with it.
